I went, "Tuumiiii - saaaaa - sowwww - niiiiiiii?" She went, "HUH?" I went, "Nevermind.... I'm gonna kill a few people on LI!"

What went wrong???

salam,

can I ask, did you pronounce the word 'sow' rhyming with the word 'how', or with the word 'low' ?

the correct pronounciation is the one rhyming with 'how'.

yes, I rhymed it with 'how'. When she didn't understand the first time, I also changed 'saa' to 'chaa' (word for tea in punjabi) she still didn't understand and thought I was asking her how she is lol.
