Re: hi just a quick question..

seviyaan, the se sound and the yaan sounds a bit softer

sawaiyyan, the suh sound and the whole **waiyyan **sounds stronger

actual script indicate tashdeed **on wao therefore it repeates two time in pronunciation saw*-w*aiyaan

[Le_Pakistan]

Re: hi just a quick question..

@sweet.i.f

so apparently no one ever says ‘semviyaan’ for ‘savaiyyan’

is this TRUE??? if so, WHY1? because all i know is my whole entire life i’ve said semviyaan and nobody tells me off except this urdu daan einstein freako

please help. it’s affecting my sleep.

We say saimiyaan too.
And yes, it does sound cuter.

[ll_xx_ll]

Re: hi just a quick question..

is it supposed to be savaiyyan or sev-yan?

[Sehrysh]

Re: hi just a quick question..

We say suh-vayN (noon ghunna) for the most part, but sometimes will call it suh-vai'yan.

Re: hi just a quick question..

which one is technically correct

[hareem01]

Re: hi just a quick question..

People from Pindi, Jehlum, Mirpur etc say Semviyaan.

Re: hi just a quick question..

the singular word [often used as plural] is se-waii-N [nasal N; noon Ghunna] and the plural is se-waii-N-yaaN

the pronunciation of this word [plural] is difficult because it contains two syllables with consecutive N [nasal N; noon Ghunna] in rapid succession. i think this word is one of the most mispronounced words in Urdu language.

here is the audio of how it is correctly pronounced:

I believe the correct Urdu pronunciation is Suh-vai’yan. Also, I think only those who are Punjabi speaking say Semviyan or Saiwiyan.

@Jafri

I’ve heard Seviyaan but my family says sawaiyaan

This!! <333

Although, we call the dish Sheer Khurma cause we’re weird like that, or is that something different. here is sheer khurma:

Sheer Khurma has sawaiyaan in it as part of one of the many ingredients.

Re: hi just a quick question..

What you posted is sheer khurma and it’s different from sewaiyn, but both are made from vermicelli.

This is sewaiyn:
