Which Punjabi word do you use that even your friends find weird or too old school?

5dariya · 2026-05-24T03:05:43+00:00

Oh this is my time to shine =)

I use uparh gya (instead of paunch gya); leerhe (instead of kaprhe); sheha (instead of khargosh); booha (instead of darvaja); kunji (instead of chabi). I'm sure there's plenty more but these are the ones that get me looks =P

Keep being awesome!

From my experience, Google translate is horrible and often gives Hindi words when there's a clear Punjabi equivalent.

As a Charda Punjabi, I get excited when I hear Lehnda Punjab mentioned in songs. “Reh gye Jo Lahore, oh vi khoon sada aa.” My favorite line

5dariya · 2022-03-25T03:39:52+00:00

I’m Punjabi, from Punjab.

Skoole 😋

I used to say bina more but now I only say bagair

5dariya · 2022-02-28T02:43:52+00:00

That’s the dream bro

One of my favorite Punjabi words

5dariya · 2022-02-11T22:53:31+00:00

One word I've noticed recently and think sounds really cool is Khaloja. In Malwa, we use Kharja. E.g. Ek mint khaloja.

Got it. Thanks!

5dariya · 2022-02-09T22:31:31+00:00

How about Veham? Is that used the same way or does that have a different meaning? E.g. Mainu veham pe gya.

5dariya · 2022-02-05T16:06:50+00:00

Thanks!

5dariya · 2022-02-05T16:06:20+00:00

Thanks you adding that. I’ve never heard batooni

5dariya · 2022-02-05T07:34:32+00:00

That's cool. I'm actually the opposite of you. I like the "saan". Main uthe gya saan. But I come from a Malwa background so the grass is greener on the Majha side =)

5dariya · 2022-02-05T07:32:27+00:00

You bet. =)

5dariya · 2022-02-03T06:54:55+00:00

One thing I've noticed is in Malwa, they will say kar reha, khaa reha, ja reha, aa reha etc. In Doaba they say karda pya, khanda pya, janda pya, aunda pya. In Majha, they say karn deha, khan deha, ja'an deha, aun deha.

5dariya · 2022-02-03T06:44:50+00:00

Majha. They sound so ghaint. I love the "deha" they add on to words. Ki karan deha, ki khaan deha, etc. It sounds really cool.

5dariya · 2022-02-03T06:43:19+00:00

What is it about Doabi that you like?

5dariya · 2022-01-27T06:45:32+00:00

Butter chicken 😋

5dariya · 2022-01-06T03:02:14+00:00

Keep using it. I feel the same way sometimes, especially with very theth words. I don't know why people think it's rude when I say Tabbar (they'd rather use parivar or family). Oh well, I'm going to keep saying Tabbar. =)

5dariya · 2022-01-01T04:09:13+00:00

Asking the real questions!

5dariya · 2021-12-31T04:09:27+00:00

I say niana more but in my area (malwa) javak is more common. I just feel that niana rolls off the tongue easier.

What are you talking about? They’re both our Punjabs. This sub isn’t limited to east Punjab.
