It’s so cute when newly arrived (or visiting) desis say Ten dollars as Dollar Ten. :smiley: I guess they are saying it in the order they see ‘$10’.

Goliko, don't be so upset yaar. I said it was 'cute'

I remember doing many silly things when I was first born here. First thing I did was pee on the nurse while she was changing my diapee.

Re: Dollar Ten

did they mean 1.10... Dollar Ten? :D

Re: Dollar Ten

That is a more plausible explanation. Cuz saying ‘Dollar Ten’ has nothing to do with being a Desi :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Dollar Ten

Also, desis disregard the 'hundered' while saying $125. They say ' one twenty five'. In the US, one twenty five means $1.25

Re: Dollar Ten

No one would say Ruyay Das cuz thats just wrong. What i have heard people in pak say is ‘Rupees Ten’.

Me personally i dont even call them dollars. I just call em rupay (wherever i can).. pak ki yaad taaza rehti haiy…
