make more videos teaching how to do bhangra moves properly. I'm sure everyone would get a decent laugh out of the combination of ghetto fabulous lingo/swag and folk bhangra.

Re: Heated Punjabi Debate


Ofcourse Malwa, Doaba, Majha speaks punjabi in diffrent style but most is same. I have lived in doaba and majha big diffrence but still punjabi is punjabi. Bass 22 if somone know how to speak it, they should speak it not fancy of saying words. They all know how to say it proper just make it sound more like hindi or english haha.

Some people just are ashamed to speak real punjabi, cuz they think they are cool?? Well some people dont have good background so they try to be funny spekaing some of the punjabi or they cant proonounce it right. My cousing used to call rajmah-maharaj haha. Thats why its always parents fault who doesn't teach their kids how to speak proper punjabi and values of the culture. Dont call yourself PUNJABI, if you are ashamed to speak PUNJABI. She is right about Baksua, dwana, and one most of all i have heard saying lot of people BHAGRA, DOLL, i call it fancy punjabi.

Baaki Sabb Kaint Vai
OO yaara, har ilaake di boli different aa. ehde vich kisey di nahi galti ki oh kiddan word nu "pronounce" karda ja kardi aa. Let me use myself as an example, cough cough, ahem...i'm from Doaba N' if i talk to folks that are from Malwa or Majha, its somewhat different but not the same. They use words that i've never heard before but that don't mean they are wrong. If we listen to punjabi from Pakistan, its totally different, they probably have their own punjabi dictionary, idk. "Jeh koi punjabi bolan di koshish karda aa, ohnu bol lain dayo. Let's not get all butthurt!!!" Ajj kal di generation punjabi ghatt e bolde aa.

*Mere ik dost di saheli, kadey punjabi nahi boldi and she call herself punjabi. If i talk to her in punjabi, she would call me a "fob" lmao. N' just cos i do bhangra, she calls me a "fob". Kar layo gall. Patandar da eh zamaana aa gaya aa. (talking in punjabi or doing bhangra doesn't make you a fob)

I been in Cali since 98 and i still speak punjabi, no matter what. Punjabi bolan da nazaara e hor aa. But I know people that are ashamed of speaking punjabi jus cos they think they are so kool. lol. kool your freaking ass. To be a Punjabi, you gotta be able to speak and understand punjabi. Don't just go on calling yourself punjabi, just cos you were born a Punjabi.

All i'm trying to say is that it shouldn't matter how such words are pronounced. Har ik ikaale da apna bolan da style aa, unha deh apne words aa. As long as they are speaking punjabi its all good. N' i'm not saying " just curse in punjabi, but actually have an actual conversation in punjabi" lol

Dad's side is more pinduer, say hadwana, buksua, choley, etc.
mom's side from shaher, say tarbooj, buskua, but still say choley...

every area has different speaking styles and some mix n match, doesn't make one right or wrong, thats the way ppl were brought up..its all good in hood

in india the boli literally can change in as little as 15 km. punjabi itself has lots of recognized dialects and related languages (hindko, seraiki, dogri) whcih are mutually intelligible. adds a little bit of sexy flavor ;)

Ahahaha.. Had a good laugh after seeing this one..

I certainly call it Bucksua and Hadwana.. Never heard anyone refer to Watermelon as Matira though!! Perhaps, Majha/Malwa slang??
My parents are from Patiala and say Hadwana , so not sure if it's a Malwa thing..

GSingh said:
my fam calls watermelon tarbooj. idk. I've never heard of hadwana or matira.
Yea Gsingh taught me the word tarbooj!! Go Gsingh!! :)
My parents are from patiala too and everyone says tarbooj.....:|

Hadwana sounds like the name of a pind.
Patiala FTW :)
