Punjabi words and meanings

[Argnabh]

Anyone came across a simple collection of punjabi words (slang etc) with theie meaning? I am looking for a place where people contribute too -- not just an old page with 50 words on it. Also some of the "online" dictionaries I have looked suck -- they either don't have a good collection of words, or they just plain don't work


Thanks

righton on Chamkila, lol

No, I speak Punjabi, but many folk songs, depending on which part of Pb they belong to, have words, that are usually spoken in villages still. Me, being not from the villages, sometimes find myself struggling to understand the context..

This is awesome - sometimes that one word can completely change the meaning of a line.

Any words in mind?

this has been useful to me, but it helps to know punjabi phonetics and Gurmukhi script...

This site is awesome bro!!....so many words and their meanings. I am exploring, while one word that's stuck in mind is "bald" (??) as in the following boli:

gaddiya pull charihya, jeoune mourh marya lalkara,
sun ke sab bhaj gaye, jeouna sunida sorma bhara,
rokrhi nu eiun ginda, jiyu bald vech liya naara,
kad kadhvaavega, loung burjiyaa vala

What does it mean?
