[S_87]

that cracked me up laughing...badda karta kharab jo doha chacha logh masjid ma avay ney jikr bolay ney namaaj hasi hasi nay ghanda tay jai

 

[S_87]

:lol: and the thing is when it comes to words with Z for example zakariyya its jakariyya. like so weird

 

[Duhaa]

Tell them to read the qur'aan and it gets problematic.
jaalika................instead of dhaalika and then some.

And in the arabic alphabet there's like three or four 'ja' sounding letters.

.........and is it seen or sheen? Can't tell

 

[sapphire]

:haha: @ amani's post !

myy cuzin bro 'yousuf' gets called 'eesup' :lolEDIT :after checking it IS eesup;D)

and if they practice Quran they can get neear enough to the real pronounciation..........

 

[S_87]

wAk i did that on purpose :lol: lol nah not really ive just heard that name beings mis pronounced so much its stuck..

sapphire a lot of people pronounce yousuf eesop (i just roll when i hear this..bit like aesops fables :haha:

duhaa its seen all the time :lol:

I hate that, they have that in bengali too, becaues the letter zed isn't in the bengali alphabet.

My name begins with a zed and it just sounds bad when it's pronounced with a "j" :grumbling .

And I have Gujju friends and all I learned from them is kem cho so far.

 

[SirZubair]

LoL ! crackup conversation ;D

I've made it clear to my mother that when we go to india,before i say "YES" to marrying a girl,...i will put her to the VOCAB TEST ;D

IF she cant say the Letter Z,..i aint marrying her!

I dont want to be called "JUBAIR" my entire life :rollseyes

And since i plan on naming my son hamZa,...i dont want the poor lil bloke to be called hamJa by his mother,...he'd hate me for marrying her..looooooll ;D

 

[sapphire]
