How do you say impatient in Punjabi? Is it kaali or tawli? If they both are acceptable variants, which is more commonly used?

^Thanks. Same here…I’ve never heard of the 2nd one either. I’m hoping to get more responses just to get a general idea of which of the two more people are familiar with.

People, don’t derail my thread! It’s heading in a cafe’esque direction. A terrible fate. Let’s not go there.

Re: Kaali or Tawli? Or is it both?

talking about more common, hasn’t be-sabra / be-sabri replaced these words in Punjabi?

16

Re: Kaali or Tawli? Or is it both?

^Baysabra came to mind as well and I’ve heard others use it. But in my family, it’s kaali that’s commonly used.

Re: Kaali or Tawli? Or is it both?

It’s both. Ka’la. Utawla, and like muqawee said besabra.

I don’t think one is more commonly used than the other.
