Gujarati - Language and the People

[papa_smurf]

what's randeri gujarati:rollseyes , how many other dialects are there in total (if a figure can be put on)??

 

[BlissfullyJaded]

Ahmadabadi Guji is :thumbs_up (I'm not from Ahmadabad. )

And lol, I don't know the numbers well either.

Anyyways, I don't speak. I just listen, nod, and answer in English. (Or just listen and nod and pretend I understand when it gets too good. )

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

Im so bad at remembering village names when i visited india for the first time last year. I still remember a few.
Anyone been to India, what did u make of it. It was gr8 fun for me. *at times* :rollseyes

 

[BlissfullyJaded]

zAk... You're IN India, of course you're expected to know the numbers.

I've never been to India, but my brother went with my dad. And he realllly liked it. Hehe. The people were nice, the food was nice... He was supposed to stay there for some time, but ended up coming back. (This was time back, in the early 90s. )
