Uncommon words used for common things

@khattichic

We also say tashtari for saucer!

I don’t know if these count, but:

degchi/pot/patila is **bhagona
**
banana/kayla is **maus

**Instead of saying “geela” for like when your hair is wet, we say “baal’aan **kachay **hogayay”

When it’s raining: “Paani paraha hai”

Taking a shower: “paani nahaakay aaye’a main”

there once was a Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh whose name was Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna…when i heard his name for the first time and before i knew the correct pronunciation of the utensil “Bhagona”…i wondered why his name sounds like a pot?

@khoji

It is always ‘bhagawna’ in our family too. I was surprised when I saw that people call it ‘pateeli’ which we never use.

Queer, there is a difference between a Bhagona and a pateeli. bhagona is as wide at the base as it is at the rim while pateeli is wide at the base and at the rim with a narrower neck.

Bhagona

pateeli

@queer

KKF is just making stuff up

jk jk

lol…why don’t you go to a Bhojpuri Library in Jhumri Talaiya and ask for a Bhojpuri Dictionary [shabdaavli] and look these words up for yourself?
