A question

Is it bad to be cunning would you be offended if your friend called you that

Re: A question

Not necessarily - I wouldn’t be offended by it in all cases. It would depend on the context.

Re: A question

If I consider myself to be deceptive and evasive, no.

Otherwise, yes.

Re: A question

Cunning = chalak?

Re: A question

Hell no. I am an upright trustworthy man not some deceitful cunning kanjar

Re: A question

Have you not learnt anything from me life01? you shouldnt make assumptions just ask questions, ask the person, do you mind sharing with me as to why do you think I am cunning? maybe they didnt mean it in a bad way, sometimes people can mistakenly use the wrong word. If they meant it in a bad way now they have an embarrassing task of explaining themselves.

Re: A question

In urdu, chalaak could be positive or neutral depending upon the circumstances. Now, makkaar doesn’t have any positive connotation!
