Re: Memon Pride
Ok, after more thought I realize I missed some very obvious words.
Garh: literally means to sharpen/mold something.
Pata: is used for cards in Punjabi too.
chawaije: Does this word have anything to do with the Urdu term Jachna? which means suitable?
Also I thought 'vin' meant 'go', then what does 'dhai' mean?
And does 'ramnu' mean 'play'?
Also sally: I think he meant rassero as in kitchen (  ), or is that some sort of dance too?

Re: Memon Pride
In my attempt to find more posts to translate, I read through the entire thread. And I bet I could win a memon trivia now.

Re: Memon Pride
i dont know what we call a kitchen but i dont remember hearing that word ever.
i thought it meant to refer to the rassera dance thing that is common amongst memons..
anyways, girls dont win in this thread. sexistpakistani thinks he's the ruler or something

chawaije..the spelling is beyond off. it actually is chew-why-jay.. it means like, to say or 'it is said'. i cant explain it. you have to be memon to get it
and yeah vin means go
and dhai means like, good/decent/shareef
and ramnu means to play yes.

Bluestar's Cutchi is really weird.. what she was saying was "who knows how his brain works"
Kha = eat
When she says kathe she means "how/which way" .. I'd say that "kerthe" or "keri risthe"

The spelling isn't beyond off. You could spell it 'chowaije,' but not "chew-why-jay." That's not how it's pronounced.

no?
i didnt know where they came from, but i would use that to try to explain where the memons from the gujarat state in india came from.
there's a diff between myself and am415. i think one of his parents is actually a gujarati..my dad was born in gujarat but isnt gujarati.

My memons not weird, my whole immediate and extended family would say it like that. I've heard people from different families speak differently so i'm guessing memon differs not only from regional origins.
I like reading everyones memon in this thread though, sort of gives me a universal memon understanding
