Re: What is Urdu of ‘Tom Boy’?
“mai” is word I tend to use for “an elderly lady” - At least some grey hair … When speaking some say “mai-munda” to a tomboy, but I think this is a corruption of “mahi munda” …
I’ve also heard people say “Boy-cutty”

Re: What is Urdu of ‘Tom Boy’?
mardon wale khel? I heard / observed / read that a girl climbing on trees was not considered good. A girl riding bicycle is still an unfamiliar phenomenon in rural Pakistan. Driving is still a taboo in certain countries and areas.
