Hello all ... watching some Hindi shows I see they use some phrases that when translated in English makes no sense...but are funny...So for those of you from India or who may know the meaning of these Phrases can you enlighten us? And share some of your own... I would try to come up with and English equvilant to them ...Ok So here is the 1st one...

HINDI PHRASE : " GHODEE BECH KE SOO RAHI HAIN..."

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: "SOLD THE HORSE AND SLEEPING" šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

(What dose horse selling have to do with sleep ...how dose that make sense???)
Please enlighten me and then I will move on t
o the next one.

hey ladhkio ! i m here ..ur hindi teacher..remember 😳 šŸ˜†

jab hum hai to kya gum hai..khair , šŸ˜† in khawato i mean phrase ka stayanash mat kro..

"Ghode bech kar sone ka matlab hai, " chinta-mukt ho kar sona..🄱 i mean a person who sleep peacefully without any tension..
u know india me khawate kai bar lok -katha par base hoti hai that's why.. isme aaisi koi katha hogi ki kisi stable ke malik ko ghodo ki chinta me raat bhar need nahi aati thi, ki kanhi koi ghode chura na le jaye, to usne ye faisla kiya ki wo ghodhe bech dega..aur usne yahi kiya..wanha se hi ye khawat shuru hui.. ok

2nd ka matlab hai.. ki purane zmane me ye tradition tha ki jo log kisi ka namak kha lete the wo phir us aadmi ko dhoka nahi de sakte the.. so that means " agar maine aapka namak khaya hai to mai vfadar, means faithful hoo..
ok Ary yaar !! tum ligo ne Arabian nights me alibaba wali kahani nahi padhi usme bhi jab choro ka sardar alibaba ke ghar khane par aata hai to wo kehta hai ki wo khane me namak nahi khayega..aur isi baat se marjeena ko us par doubt hota hai..
samjhi kadhkio ! aur koi query ?? 😳
