After enjoying lot of beautifully written Urdu and Punjabi posts on this forum, it occured to me that their are lot of Punjabi dialogues/phrasses used in our day to day lives. Some of them just keep on repeating and every Punjabi home is used to them. Some of them are funny, some of them are sweet, some of them say more than they should,some of them were spoken to us by our beloved ones, some by enemies…
Like my favourite is
1.“roti thandi ho chali aa, aa ke kha laO”
(used to be my moms favourite threat, now my bivi’s :))
here are some more:
kade hass vi lia karo!!
tere dhid ch peeRh hundi aa, mein jo marzi karaaN
durr phittey munh
mein kia chah shah banao, thand jae lagdi aa
What are your favourite/memorable punjabi phrases/dialogues? Please add some…let us have some fun…

I guess what everybody is afraid to admit and including me, embarrased to say, is the most common punjabi word 'B....c...'. I dare not to expand it. Unfortunately, this has become so popular that people spit it without even realizing the conesequences or even considering the mechanizims of the word. Old or young, rich or poor, cultured or not, villager or metro-dweler, all use it.
Sometimes i just have hard time to explain that Punjabi is a sweet language too. It has its roots even deeper than Urdu and like many languages of the world, its a bit harsh on the listners ears, but still remains a deep language. I guess a few words like i explained above, make my sale difficult. :)
Sorry guys, ddint want to put in a serious talk. Its an interesting topic. Leme see if I can come up with my household totkay:
Oye Khootya! (instead of khotay da putar!) :)
Teri taan ...
hun daas! (what u say now?)
dekhya na! (see!!)
taino taan main kaya see! ( i told u!)
Kar lay jo karna aye! (Do whatever you like)
kee takleef ayee? (whats bothering u?)
sar na kha mera (dont bother me)
and finally for the originator of this topic --
Sanu nehr waly pul tay bula kay, tay chun mahi, kithay reh gaaya
I am really glad the way this thread is going. Thanks to all of you for bringing your input to the forum.
Azkar Chaudhary: The biggest misconception that people have about Punjabi is that it is 'good only for cursing' which is not true. I agree that the "b...c..." phrase has become very common in our day to day conversations, but that is nothing to be surprised about. I hear people cursing similar phrases in all other languages including Angrezi.
I like the phrases you added to the list particulrly reminding me of my favourite song "saanu neher wale pul te....." :)
AK: All I have to say is that I have not heard most of these phrases you reffered in your post before, atleast not in that form. Also the use of "ka" and "na" in your phrases makes me suspicious if even you are very familiar with them.
Mirzayasir: LOL :)I think even my mom and sisters have used that on me too many times....only a threat... :)
Nailarki ( NaviKurri): very good ones :). tusi saadi post parh lai, saade lai aihiO sonei da medal aa jee.... ;)
Zainab: In response to your "mei kya nava nava aya ai soniya"
(I) mere veer nu pata lag giya taaN terian tangaN bhann daoga... :)
(II) kithey ji, saanu te kai varhey ho gaye ne Lahore chhadyaN..
I am a proud Pakistani and then a Punjabi. I love my language and culture. Having said that let me correct you:

Your Bc word is not good
[/quote]
The referred word is not 'mine'. Did you mean the Punjabi word? But that I have already pointed out.
And also, as some one has pointed out, cursing is no good in any language.
ChannMahi.. :) Nair tay aj kul band paye aye. safai wastay. hun kithay bulain ga? Chal phay liberty ya stadium he chulyay.
common expressions in our villages:
oye.. dangraan no phtay paye keh nain?
murghi na aanda dita keh nain?
Chacha kinay paisay howe?
Yaar zara doo seer shakur taan dain..
Aba.. aj pani de vari aye..
...
Yes...you are right I am not very familiar with the phrases I mentioned but I have heard them...my roman punjabi..and translations are most likely incorrect....
Azkar chaudhary: oh ho Chaudhary sahib tusi te kujh puraniaN yaadaN chete kra dittiaN ne.....have not heard those in ages....particularly: aj pani di vari aye.....those were the days....no one uses that phrase any more...everyone has his own tubewell....good for them.... :)
PG: I know where are you coming from, but I am not offended becasue I know it is not true. Only if you had read any Punjabi poetry of Shah Hussain, Bulley Shah, Waris Shah, Baba Frid, Shiv Batalvi, Surjit Patar, Daman, Shareef Kunjahi. Only if you had read Amrita Pritam, Afzal Ahsen Randhawa, Iliyas Ghuman, Ajit Kaur, Afzal Tauseef.......
Cursing is bad in any language and can be done in any language with same proficiency by nasty minds...Punjabi is not a exception.
