right so
after watching inordinate amounts of bhangra videos and downloading things off nannu and basically exposing myself to places where punjabi people use punjabi slang on the internet
the prevalence of a certain number has confused me
why do punjabi people use the number "22" so much?
what does it mean, other than twenty-two?

bai or bhai= slang for bro if you don't know either of those.
alright thanks you guys
bai is also twenty, so i kind of see where that comes from
but why 22? isn't that bai-ees?
actually 22 is "bai" or "bhai"
20 is "vee" or "veeh"
aah ok
my bad for assuming the hindi and punjabi number names were the same.
