The previous thread on Urdu vocab is lost in history somewhere…

What about
"intehaai"...like as in intehaai bakhwas?
Is it limited or limitless?
Re: Some Urdu Words
^"intehaai" is limited but extreme.
"intehaii bakhwas" is something like "^" (Limited, indefinite but very brief)
Re: Some Urdu Words
Intehai - to the limits
Re: Some Urdu Words
What about the saying: "Ghar ki murghi daal baraber"?
Re: Some Urdu Words

Re: Some Urdu Words
Good thread. :k:
I pick up big words from Urdu News, look up their meaning in a dictionary and then use them in everyday speech, it really impresses all the uncles, a ‘BBCD’ being able to hold a conversation with them. 
I bet you guys speak with a Memoni accent like they do in “Ghaffar at Doraji” stageshow/celebrity-interview program. 
Re: Some Urdu Words
What is this Ghaffar at Doraji? I've heard of it - on what channel??
No, I come from the sect of memons that speaks Urdu like Urdu-speaking people do...since our group has been mostly settled in Bombay and Karachi. Other types of memons do speak with a memon accent - the type you see on Such Much.
I'll come up with more - ahmadjee can be our Urdu professor. :D
Re: Some Urdu Words
Hi.
Comedy stageshow/celeb-interview program on Telly, either on Geo or ARY, really funny, nice compared to all the Indian crap which we can’t even watch with family around.
Re: Some Urdu Words
I think it is Gappar, not Ghaffar :D ... well, actually it is "Aay Gappar bai"
