Address with respect ...

awwww…that’s cute. :hugz:

I dont think you should. If its something that you are comfortable with…who cares if others think of it as weird.

See thats when I think its okay…even the younger ones are addressed as aap. Otherwise, i find it kinda unfair that only the man is “aap” while even the wife or kids and women are “tum/tu”…

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww :wub:

Re: Address with respect ...

Delicacy in speech is such a huge turn on :D

It also shows formality that is not always required , but respect is the only thing a couple has .

Re: Address with respect ...

^So you'd be more than happy if your wife calls you "hazoor" and "sartaaj"???

Re: Address with respect ...

in my family every woman calls her husband 'aap' .. always seen that .. even both of my best friends do too..

So when I got engaged, I automatically began with 'aap' too. but my fiance has no issues with tum/aap.. he calls me 'tum' btw. :)

age does play a part, my hubby to be being almost 7 years older.. to i guess a little respect comes naturally. but knowing myself and the way i treat him as friends. i would probably give up the 'aap' thingie soon :D

I would love it . Something like "Joo Hukam maray Aka" or "App kahain tu ma jaan bhee waar doon"

Akhir bollywood movies dekhnay ka koi tu faida ho :D

Re: Address with respect ...

BTW ....

my grandpa's (paternal) name was Azeem, grandma never used his name. it was only aap janab. whats even funnier is

k she even didnt say it during prayers. you know in 'ruku' when you recite ' subhana rabbi Al azeem' ... she used to say 'subhana rabbi Al Kareem' :D

meanwhile my nani amma, she added SAHAB to my grandpa's name ... :)

Jo hukm mere aaqa??? You are looking for a Genie to get married? lol

Re: Address with respect …

“tu” .. I find it such a disgusting way to address someone .. I dunno why :no: … I cant even address my worst enemy that way … but still its common I guess when someone’s really close …

I went to a dawat the other day and the lady was in the kitchen calling her husband “zaakir, tum idar aana zara” … and then two seconds later husband saying "mai naan lai kai aaya tu table laga dai " …

I felt so awkward and bad .. it killed my appetite :smack: but i guess its between couples and upto them really how they choose to address their other half … but as a third person , I just didnt like it …

Yesh , Genie in a Bottle :@:

dude ... namaan is soooo true in that ... its not about formal/informal ... its just the delicacy in speech and the politeness is such a huge turn on and i for one find it extremely cute ... but yea i wldn't mind calling my sig other by aap ... i have absolutely zero qualms in that

CB, dont feel ancient! i also call my hubby Aap. we’ve been married 4 years now, totally comfy and informal with eachother, but i still just feel like calling him Aap…besides, im so used to it now…i guess i started calling aap in the same way you did–b/c i saw my mom calling my dad aap all her life, plus all of the other females in my family call their hubbys aap…so it was a natural course for me to do the same

i say, as long as u and hubby are cool with it, u can call eachother whatever u want and not care wat others think…

There is a joke about it .
A woman who's husband name was Rehmat ullah would end her namaz with Assalam O Alaikum nikkay day abba on right and Asslam O Alaikum nikkay day abbba on the left.
Funnier thing is that she was not even pregnant yet. :D

Re: Address with respect ...

^Mirch ... that cracks me up :D lol to be munnay k abba hona chaye tha ;)

Re: Address with respect …

My wife use “aap” “aaeen” “suneeen” “sunyeee” in front of kids and elder relatives (including my and her parents) but in friends it turns to “tum” and “aoo” and in private it turs to “tu” and “idher aa” (and what not) . I dont mind it, in fact I enjoy/like it.

we are classic example of

aap say…phir tum howey…phir tu ka unwaan ho gaeey
rafta rafta wo mairee, hastee ka samaan hoo gaeey

btw, question!!! Ager yee “tum” itna hee friendly hai then why dont we call our parents idher aoo, tum jaoo etc? :faizy:

I am so glad , our kind still exists :cb:

I have the same question in my mind … :chai:

Re: Address with respect …

i guess ‘hum’ ‘tum’ rolls of the tongue that much easier, no? :hmmm:

“main aur aap” is more sexier and beats “hum tum” hands down :slight_smile:

Re: Address with respect …

I think I might be gunned down for giving reference to a hadees that my mom often quotes .. but i will take a chance and say it …

"Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that if he had to order any person to prostrate (make sajdah) for another person, and if this was permissible, he would have commanded the wife to make sajdah to her husband.

This o­ne Hadith is more than adequate to show the high rank which the husband has over his wife. Besides this Hadith, there are numerous other Ahadith as well as Qur’aanic aayaat which declare the higher rank of the husband with emphasis and clarity."… Taken this text from another source …

Thats the reason i am confused , Could this be the origin of why ladies choose to address their husbands with humble respect :hmmm:
