Re: Gumshuda Alfaaz
servant quarter ko to naukar ghar/mulaazim Khana kahte haiN…magar, ab to servant quarter hii bolte haiN ziyaada tar.
ne’mat Khaana to khaana rakhne ke box ko kahte the jis meN jaali kii sides hotii thiiN…khaane ko billi se bachaane aur khaanoN ko hawaa dene ke liye yeh fridge jaise box thaa…jab fridge nahiiN huaa kartaa thaa to isii meN khaana rakkhaa jaataa thaa…maiN ne apne ghar meN use kiyaa huaa hai bachpane meN.
ugaal-daan = thookne ke liye hotaa thaa jis par maiN ne ek bahot zabardast sardarjee kaa joke bhii sunaa hai…lol
chaliye ab bataaye detaa huN pichhle teen alfaaz ke ma’nii:
wash-basin = silifchii/silifchaa [sailaab+chii] depending on it’s size…the smaller portable one is called silifchii
baawarchan = maamaa/paknahar platform = ravish [farsii lafz raveeda se banaa hai…chalne kii ooNchii jagah]
Mama se yaad ayi mujhe Azmat Buwa. Haramkhor buwa of Deputy Nazeer Ahmed’s novel ’ Mirat ul Uroos’
I thought Ravish is any chalne phirne ki jagah
But I thought Maamaa was just like supervisor of all activities, jaisa ke sauda salf lana, pakana, waghera as they portrayed in Mirat ul Uroos.
