Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

Peace KKF

Have you misplaced your dictionaries again? Laal Beg is a very simple Urdu word ...

Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

KKF, I am surprised you are not familiar with the word. :)

lol...ham log to coachroach ko jhingar kahte the. laal baig to kabhii nahiiN sunaa thaa...han, hai to ta'ajjub kii hii baat...mere Khayaal se India meN laal baig shaayad nahiiN kahte kiuN k maiN ne kabhii nahiiN sunaa thaa yeh lafz.

Same here…Maine hamesha “jhingar” lafz suna hai cockroach ke liye…maybe it is an Indian thing? In my family, we also say “kunjee” instead of “chabee” for keys…ok…enough de-railing of this thread..carry on :cool:

Re: i need HELP…what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

yes…sounds like…we say kunji as well for chaabhii…if your ancestors came from Lucknow area, then we are on the same page. :slight_smile: do call** DewRhii **for Hallways/vestibules? :slight_smile:

Re: i need HELP…what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

Roaches.. ugh

Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

Ya I have heard of this word Kunji as my mom is from Lucknow and father is from Bhopal, been to Lucknow 2/3 times in my childhood

Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

Even my Daadi always used Kunji for key, although she spent all of his life in Sindh and she used to speak ba mahavra Sindhi.

**hahaha…yeah, you know more than me because u r a smart lady, maashaa Allah :slight_smile:

btw, the word for shrimp in Hindustani is ****JHINGAA ****جھینگا] and NOT ****JHINGER ****جھینگر] **

**achchhaa…waah…baRe log yahaN Lucknow se paaye jaate haiN :slight_smile: so, when are you gonna visit LKO again? :slight_smile:

**thanks for the video.

kunji is a very common word in Urdu literature but little used in day to day conversation. chaabhee is more often used now which is a Hindi word. :)**

Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

^isn't it actually Portuguese word? w/regard to xabi.pk

btw, whats up with the attitude in this thread? people need to chil

Re: i need HELP…what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

Shrimp is jhainga , not jhaingar. :smack:

Re: i need HELP...what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

dude u are right, freaking PIA flights are filthy, they need to clean up..

it seems to be an issue with the region, indian planes passengers are stinky, forced deodorant application may be in order

cleanliness and hygiene does not seem to be big in that part of the world.

I expect as many abcds to know what laal bait is as I expect the airindia passengers to know what a deodorant is...i.e. not many. :D

Re: i need HELP…what does LAAL BAIG mean? what is it?

haha now i know why TLK does not eat shrimp and lobster..
