Salams sis

If u are asking a older person u wud say..Tamaru naam hu che?
If asking younger person then Taru naam hu che?

There are many dialects..the above is how we say it...but some will say instead of the 'hu' they wud 'su'

wasalam.

[QUOTE=zAk;218102]is it pacha ? or pachi ?

salamz

If u say 'pachi' just generally it wud mean 'later'

its like saying 'amre ni pachi' Meaning 'not now later'

U cud say to a younger person 'pachi tu awje' meaning 'come later on'

wasalam

The difference is only that they speak differently..different dialect...some of the stuff they say is cool man....i have few baruchi friends and i just love the way they speak...

Baruchis are from a place called Baruch in India
whereas Surtis, they are from Surat in India
