Can badnaam hona be translated in English in same sense and meaning of desi society?

Re: Munni Badnam Hui (English Transaltion)

certain expressions [like in jokes] in one language can NEVER be EXACTLY translated into another language because har zabaan kaa apnaa ek mizaaj uskii saqaafat ke baa'is hotaa hai jo hoo ba hoo dusrii saqaafatoN meN nahiiN milegaa.

so, i would say no! phrases in one languag can never be translated exactly in the same sense into another language.

safaid khoon is common but not linked with Kashmiri...

Re: Munni Badnam Hui (English Transaltion)


oh achchhaa...may be due to Pakistan's support for Kashmiri issue...right?

11

Re: Munni Badnam Hui (English Transaltion)

Not exactly. jokes on Butt (Kashmiri community) are quite popular. Their idleness and eating habists (shab-deg) has been discussed in literature written in Pakistan by writers like Ata-ul Haq Qasmi and Bano Qudsia, who themselves have links and lived in Kashmir.

Re: Munni Badnam Hui (English Transaltion)

Not used in Pakistan. Maybe something to do with India and Kashmiris (politically).

Re: Munni Badnam Hui (English Transaltion)

^ Munni was defamed? :hmmm: This is the word I use when I want to say that taleban have defamed the religion, cant think of anything apt.

16

Re: Munni Badnam Hui (English Transaltion)

defamed is when someone makes somebody badnaam. Munni Badnam hui suggests that she was actively involved in badnaming herself :stuck_out_tongue:

Liberals should do wavela on that local munnis become badnam in this conservative and orthodox society for just one affair that is natural enough :hehe:
