Re: Sotan or Sokan

Interesting and I thought Sokan is not common and Sot-an has something to do with Sot-ela pun.

Re: Sotan or Sokan

Maybe it has something to do with the region you live in? Urdu punjabi?

lols jo bhi keh len. I heard many tareefen for sotans. :slight_smile:

The Sindhi (and probably Saraiki) word for sotan is Pahaaj which literally mean ghaasib / Qabza Mafia :rotfl:

Re: Sotan or Sokan

Mostly in Hindi movies and Indian dramas its Sautan. So, Sokan is Punjabi word.

Re: Sotan or Sokan

I never heard one sautan referring to her sautan as Satan. Though chuRail, pichhal peri, da’in are expected

13

Re: Sotan or Sokan

hahaha these are the national words for sotan, hmmm satan can be abstract or fantasy word for her.

Re: Sotan or Sokan

Re: Sotan or Sokan

hum ne konsa syapa dala?

17

Re: Sotan or Sokan

Sautan is the Hindi word used extensively in Urdu. never heard of Sokan.

18

Re: Sotan or Sokan

I think sokan is probably used in Punjab

19

Re: Sotan or Sokan

I was also thinking the same..that maybe soukan is punjabi. In the Urdu or Hindi movies, I’ve always heard soutan. So, soukan must be a variant of another language or dialect.

Re: Sotan or Sokan

probably. sautan ke liye ek aur lafz bhii iste’maal hotaa hai…any idea what that word is? :stuck_out_tongue:
