What does DIY mean?
This abbreviation is most commonly used for decorative purposes, as a project that involves making something by yourself especially for home décor or repairing, etc, which one could pay someone else to do it but rather choose to it themselves.
This term got famous especially through the platform like YouTube when the videos containing DIY tutorials got viral. Now, this term is not only used for decorative purposes rather it shares a wider perspective now.
This term is famous on the internet, but it is also common to use it in face-to-face conversations as well.
Imagine two people are having a conversation:
Angad: From where did you buy this rug?
Anita: It's actually a DIY and my daughter knit it last year.
