It means 'Don't make me laugh'.;D
LOL at the other responses. Dot (dowt) as in teeth but surtis say daant, right? so basically the word 'laughing' comes from 'teeth' in gujrati.....

BUMP! thread died?
lol yea u r puttin us to shame :X ^^

i learnt guji once yeaaaars back when i was little....(i've forgotten what little i did learn...)but i remember my granny once writting a shopping list in guji and i went up to her and pointed at a word and go : 'that says coffee' :mmokay: and shes like 'oh: yea it does !' Funny that i actually got it right when i had no idea at all how to read it:X (i was a kid mind when i went and said that...!)

I ran away before she could make me read the whole list to 'assess what i had learnt'.....

soo anyway

sandaa/handaa/badaa kem cho ? :happy:

oh yea about the floods...Alhamdulillah that things are starting to settle down.....my fam are trying to replace all that they lost with alot of support being sent from England....seems like diseases are still going round....so far one fam member pased away due to all this...imsad

I can give it a go. In Gujarati right?

Ek
Beh
Torn
Char
Parch
Chor
Saat
Aat
Nuw
Dhuh
Agyar
Baar
Terr
Cha-ud
Pundar
Hutar

And that's about all I know upto there.

20 is Weeh
21 is Ekweeh
22 is Bahweeh
23 is Terweeh
24 is Chorweeh
25 is Pacheeh

After 15 (Pandar) you missed 16 out and went straight on to 17 (Hutar).
16 is sole, (hole, if you want to say it the desi way!)
