not easy to translate punjabi to english, in other words justice cant be done.
one example is "thaan mar jaani aan". cant be translated to even urdu properly.

What do you call a 'gold-digger' in Punjabi?
Re: Lets Translate Punjabi Phrase into English
There will be plenty of other Punjabi phrases which cant be translated. I just speak the Punjabi for normal usage, therefore wont be aware of many of those. :D

Re: Lets Translate Punjabi Phrase into English
A real life scenario...when my in-laws came home the first time to meet me and my family formally. I am a Telugu (a south-Indian) and married to a Sardarji from Indian Punjab.
My dad on seeing my in-laws: **...** (and a big grin on his face)
My FIL- Furious and MIL - Curious (on hearing this word)
Now, "*****" in Telugu means "Please come". This is the most respectful way of inviting someone into your home.
A few minutes later...
My FIL: Talking about his 2 mundey and what they do and their jobs and interests...
My dad: Furious and curious. (Munda in Telugu is the same as what ***** in Punjabi means)
Me, my brother, my BIL and SIL (who understand a little Telugu, they are doctors and served in rural parts of Andhra Pradesh) were having a ball of time laughing at our parents. After a few minutes of our parents talk, we had to intervene to explain the meanings as both our parents were thinking that each one is cursing the other!:D
The ***** is ran**!
