my name is jodie and i love cats. I am proud american dudette (gyal). im a revert to islam Alhmduliaah. Im originaly from USA (chicago). I have 6cats, 1 parrot, 2puppies and my nephew 4hamsters.
I love everyone on this site (LI) for the sake of Allaah.
last but not least do dua for me people.

Lemme give translating it a stab. I'm not perfect, mind you.
Maroo naam Jodie chey ne maney bilari bo pasand chey. Oo America ma peydah tyeyli. Oo navvi musalmaan cho. Alhamdulillah. Oo chicago ti avooch. Mari pahey chaw bilari, eyk powpat, bey cutra che ne maro bhorko pahey chaar "hamsters" chey.

thats all i can do. Sorry i dunno how to say hamsters. Maybe you could say 'mice' instead and so you would have to say maro bhorko pahey chaar oondeyra chey.

Good luck.
Peace

[IslamistheTruth]

I want to try too. It's so cool to say everyones paragraph outloud and to compare the different accents.

maru naam jodie che uneh maneh bilari bo pasand che. Maneh abhimaan che kem ke houn American chu. Houn navi musalmaan chu, alhamdulillah. Houn Chicagi thi avichu. Mara passe chuh bilari, ek popat, aneh bey kutra che. Mara bhatrija passe chaar hamsters che.

Maneh site na loko bada pasand che aneh khali Allah swt na matte. Tameh bada loko mara matte dua karjo...aah mari farmaish che. Abhaar.

[Admin]

Meh Chicagi ki rehne wali houn.

Chicago becomes Chicagi? :?

[Kittygyal]

Chicago becomes Chicagi? :?

:sl:

LOL :X


shouldn't it be 'chicago'??:phew

[sapphire]

Maybe in that type of guji it is said in that way...

Edit: the rest i said after that was a mistake ^ got a bit confused....

[Kittygyal]

^ But erm thats like changing the meanin u get me??

Like if ''chicago'' changes to ''''Chicagi'' then what about Bristol does that become Bristoi??

[sapphire]

loool nah i think bristol is bristol ^ but then again they wudnt kno bristol....you would have to say london and they would understand where your from.....well most ppl i kno call england 'london' lol

[Kittygyal]

loool nah i think bristol is bristol ^ but then again they wudnt kno bristol....you would have to say london and they would understand where your from.....well most ppl i kno call england 'london' lol

Oh god rivens.

Okay i'll leave it to here. :-[

Just about Gujuratis in general. I'm a teenage revert, so I don't know much about many Asian groups and cultures. According to the first page, they like chapattis. Which ones, the thick 'roti' ones or the thin ones which look a bit like tortillas?

And, completely irrelavantly, why do my words always line up in the post writing screen?
:w:

[Umm Hurairah]

Asalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu,

[bewildred]

Hello y'all,

In my desire to learn more about how people around the world live their Islam, I visit some threads like this one. To my great dismay, I come across too many words that I don't understand. People here take them as the norm when they're not. I know that a lot here talk urdu or other adjacent dialects but I should tell you that a lot more don't. Out of politeness and correctness, would you like to explain the key words you use? No, I don't want to google them. I want to learn them with my bro's and sisters' own words.

Okay, what's Gujarati? Is it a language or a dialect? Where is it spoken?

To our dear moderators, once again, I think there's a bit of lack of fairness. In a thread dedicated to arabic poetry, I used THREE arabic words. You immediately notified me -in a very solemn way- to avoid transliteration. Rules are here to be applied on everyone.

Thank you in advance.

[Re.TiReD]

Gujrati is spoken by people in India as far as I'm aware and also some African people seem to speak it? I'm not sure about that. And there are two types, Sutri and Baruchi.

I'm neither, but I studied it at GCSE.

WassalamuAlaykum

I think the closest for lecture would be 'bayaan'. Or is that not Gujarati?

['Abd al-Baari]

:sl:

Actually, yeh you could be right, I don't think that word is used much here though, I think most people would just say bayaan.

:w:

[Re.TiReD]

Learning to speak any language is my weakest point. I find reading and writing the easiest. I love reading it...its kool :D

[Re.TiReD]

I didn't know they taught Gujarati at GCSE. I don't even know the letters myself. :exhausted

I dont think they teach it in many places. I think mainly because it was private, now thats its become state funded they have French and German and thats it I think

[S_87]

I dont think they teach it in many places. I think mainly because it was private, now thats its become state funded they have French and German and thats it I think

I have to say reading through this thread is hilarious, our little old village got a mention too, not in a good light though :rollseyes.

whats one funny guji is alipawr one man......... that is funny:okay:

Is that the one where they use words like "tamun" and "avio".
I don't know if it's alipawr:rollseyes, but i have a friend, if it wasn't for his manly voice box, it can get pretty hard to distinguish him from a male to a female. The Gujarati he speaks is totally one sided and somtimes speaks as if his a girl. (Ok i went a little far then, but it's so true, it's all the same)

Masculine and feminine is out of the window for some gujis.;D

:sl:

yh and they say a lot of seh seh instead of che. :lol:

:(

:w:

[Patience7]

It says Alpha but the 'L' came out whacked :-[

oh sis can u teach me? i just speak and understand gujrati but don't know how to read or write it :-[

btw..Alhumdulillah im good, no sorry sis (and all the members of MN) i had to shut down the site, well it may be up at the moment that's cos i have a one year contract to the hosting, but there are no pages to it. im really busy lately caught up with my medical exams (uni) and work. lol it's been my second attempt to start of a forum but had to close it down, i'm really sorry for this. but too many things coming in my way at the moment. Insha'allah ill promise all of you people i will start on a new project, as soon as all my work load eases on me a bit. I cannot tell you when, cause im really busy in the next few months. And i don't want to start one in a rush or else it'll be my 3rd one that i'll have to shut down lol.
