Mayke or Paeke?

What is the correct word?

Is it different in different areas. I think I heard Paeke among Sindhis.

Re: Mayke or Paeke?

Punjabi is also Paeke... or Saurey

Re: Mayke or Paeke?

Saurey is sasuraal.

Do they still use 'maapay' for 'Maa baap ka ghar' in Punjab?

Re: Mayke or Paeke?

Yes. and Yes.

Re: Mayke or Paeke?

I heard shadi se pehle, laRki ke liye parent’s house is ‘maapay’ and after marriage it becomes paeke. In Maapay, Maa comes before paa (father) and in paeke father’s authority is more prevalent. :hmmm:

Mayka in urdu
Payka in punjabi

Simple :chai:

Re: Mayke or Paeke?

so in Punjab, peo is more powerful than maa and therefore paeka (peo da ghar) and in Urdu speaking areas, maa got more authority over ghar so mayka (maa ka ghar)
