Description of bahutere: Bahutere is an Urdu adjective meaning "many" or "numerous," often emphasizing a large quantity. Unlike bahut , it conveys abundance with a poetic nuance. Differs from kai , as it implies profusion in literary contexts. In poetry, like "safar hai shart mus?fir-nav?z bahutere," it evokes plentiful, welcoming fellow travelers on life's journey. It holds strong cultural and emotional significance in Urdu literature, poetry, and everyday expressive language.
