LOL at the other responses. Dot (dowt) as in teeth but surtis say daant, right? so basically the word 'laughing' comes from 'teeth' in gujrati.....


........or summat like that.:rollseyes

[Re.TiReD]

[sapphire]

BUMP! thread died?
lol yea u r puttin us to shame :X ^^

i learnt guji once yeaaaars back when i was little....(i've forgotten what little i did learn...)but i remember my granny once writting a shopping list in guji and i went up to her and pointed at a word and go : 'that says coffee' :mmokay: and shes like ':ooh: yea it does !' Funny that i actually got it right when i had no idea at all how to read it:X (i was a kid mind when i went and said that...!)

I ran away before she could make me read the whole list to 'assess what i had learnt'.....

soo anyway

sandaa/handaa/badaa kem cho ? :happy:

oh yea about the floods...Alhamdulillah that things are starting to settle down.....my fam are trying to replace all that they lost with alot of support being sent from England....seems like diseases are still going round....so far one fam member pased away due to all this...imsad

:lol: 'boh haaru ghandai' literally translates out as 'very nice madwoman.' :D

[m102313]

I also know Gujarati, my parents were born in Gujarat. I know it sounds a bit funny, so i mainly speak urdu at home.

But remember the U'lama of Gujarat, Darul uloom deoband, are the most popular across many parts of asia, especially india & pakistan. And they are preferred the most.

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


Alpha:


in punjabi:


ghandai = lots of bad things, or it can even mean onions :p

ghandi = singular bad thing.


i can't believe us pakis' spoilt our punjabi thread and someone closed it down lol :D

[strider]

:sl:Really? ^o)

I thought it actually meant: "smells very nice" :hmm:


ghandai = smell (in derogatory sense)

ghandi = mad woman

In a language other than Gujarati, maybe. :D

[strider]

Seriously... ghandai means smell in Gujarati, as far as I'm aware.

Maybe the word I'm talking about, ought to be spelt this way: "ghun-die", that means smell, doesn't it? :?

Yes.

[SUMMAYAH]

edit

[SUMMAYAH]

:salamext:


ghandai = lots of bad things, or it can even mean onions :p

I thought onions was 'pi'aaz'

kanda is onions in gujji

But remember the U'lama of Gujarat, Darul uloom deoband, are the most popular across many parts of asia, especially india & pakistan. And they are preferred the most.

My fathers gradutated from Darul uloom deoband.......:)

Seriously... ghandai means smell in Gujarati, as far as I'm aware.

Maybe the word I'm talking about, ought to be spelt this way: "ghun-die", that means smell, doesn't it? :?
