PS --- the term "dada" in english doesn't mean daddy by a baby only....there is a whole different meaning for dada in english as well.......it's actually a whole movement.....😃 glad I could help.............Asha ji calls her ex hubby "da" without meaning brother, girls all over India call Ganguly Dada without meaning brother, and Geeta calls MIthun "dada" without meaing brother.........😃
Dada in the context you are talking about is slang. It's used in Mumbai style of talking, but it is also used in Hindi too. I was talking about "Dada" in proper Hindi. Understand? Probably not. 😃
Ummmm....Dada in English only has two proper meanings. Daddy or an art movement. Look it up. 😊
Anyways, arguing with you has absolutely no point. I feel like I have lost brain cells. I'm done. You can continue to say whatever you want. No point arguing where even I am starting to sound just as illogical as you.
