Re: saada-kaar?

haan wohi.. but wasn’t sonaar common than saada-kaar? I mean we been hearing word sonaar / johri for jeweler and at first instance I couldn’t recognise the profession till the writer later gave some descriptions of the business.

Re: saada-kaar?

Why they pronounce ‘gh’ as ‘k’? Is this pronunciation common among all Punjabis or specific to some regions.

Re: saada-kaar?

sonaar more widely used but it’s a Hindi word while saadah kaar is a persianized Urdu word. someone who wants to writie in pure/Khaalish Urdu then he/she will tempt to use this word.

Its our accent in Punjabi its kaar and in Urdu its more sophisticated GHAR
