Bhaji? like veggies? LOL

I thought paaji is a short form of PRAJI.. PRaji means brother, isn't it?

i'm punjabi too and can speak it very fluently as well as read and write it.

just like its spelled bhangra and not pangra its the same pronunciation when we say bhaji. the bh in punjabi is not pronounced the same way as the bh in hindi. so for all of you people who are getting confused with the bhaji as in snack......i hope this explains it.

i agree with u. it is technically spelled bhaji in phonetic english if u translate from punjabi but pronounced paaji so its okay to write paaji on something casual lika a forum

Punjabis pronounce BH as P. So bhaji becomes paji, bhatinda become patinda and so on.

Pajji is just fine. Nothing to worry about.

dar, (fear)

bhed (difference) bhed (sheep)

padhai (study) ped/pedh (tree)

even though a single d sounds more like da of hindi we still use it.....( in reality its absolutely wrong.)

asian languages can not be written in english as a pure language so writing paaji is as fine as writing pindi (bhindi) .even punjabi jh (chhaja) falls in btw ch and jh of hindi.bt we write chaiiji not jhaiiji

Paaji is punjabi not English...in English Pa=Dad

Paaji comes from "Phraji" or Veer ji (Elder bro) in Punjabi

When you prounce the first word sound like P not B so Paaji

Punjabis dont use Bhai or Bhai ji..thats hindi

Dada is big bro in Bengali but in rest of India Dada means grand pa...
dada means 'rowdy' or 'goons' in our language😆
Mota Bhai in Gujrati is elder bro...in rest of India it would be fat bro

obviously you dont know anything about Punjabi language....

paaji is correct
