Aloo bhaji - fried potatoes
Bhorta - usually mashed vegetables with onions and chilli in it
Rooti is chapatti.

 

[Re.TiReD]

Oh ok, JazakAllah khayr.

Hmm, what else do I want to know.

How would you address an elder? Because in Urdu, there are two words, aap or tum. App is the most respectful way of saying you....like 'How are u'....would be, Keysi hain aap, or summin...

 

[Musaafirah]

In the Sylheti dialect, we use afne to address and elder and tumi for someone similar to your age and younger..
Liyu di liyan- I thought Shondesh and handesh were 2 different things..

 

[noorseeker]

the respectful way is afner, when you talk to someone younger its tumi

 

[Re.TiReD]

Kool, so..tumi bala aso ni...how would u say that to an elder?

 

[Musaafirah]

Afne bhala ason ni?

 

[Re.TiReD]

Not asoyn? Whats asoyn mean?

 

[Musaafirah]

[Al-Hanbali]

Banana = Khola

Pineapple = Anarosh

Watermelon = Tormuz

Guava = Shofri

Grapes = Angur

Jackfruit = Khatol

 

[Re.TiReD]
