ive never heard anyone say that they did not understand scouse.. it is probably the easiest of the regional accents to understand.

bongi mardi = chor di (as in making up stuff) , bahanay (as in lame excuse)
Nothing serious - just funny way to say it

cool..thanks

[12thMan]

There is also Bonga - used for a person. I think that means dumb or stupid. Someone can clear that one

[McBoom]

It just means that you gave a stupid reason. Bongian marna = talking nonsense. Nothing offensive.

[madaboutlfc]

nah deffo was bongi.. btw urdu/punjabi is too scattered a language.. there are just too many saying which people keep using here.. its a bit hard to keep the pace..my urdu has improved beyond recognition though..

Like always, Punjabi has a much better, more comprehensive word for it. Well thankfully it is also very much part of Urdu now.

Usage:

Punjabi: Ae kee chawwal maari eh?
Urdu: Yeh kya chawwal maari hai?

Someone translate this into English, we have a 50:50 vote split on the meaning of one word in the following. This thread will decide who is the loser and who is ...not the loser

May-ree bus-tee se pur-rai bhee may-rai dooshmun hon-gai
Pur ya-haan kub aghyaar ka lushkar oot-ra

Aashnaa(n) haath uk-sir may-ree jaa-nib lup-kai
merai seenai(n) mein mera up-naa hi khun-jur utra.

PS: Before someone comments, my spellings are better and more accurate then the regular Urdlish you see.

PSS: Let's see who can tell me the author of the above.

First of all, I must say voting is a terrible way of deciding on the meaning of a word. :)

Never mind the spelling, you have made an absolute mess of Ahmad Faraaz's very words. :)

This is what Faraaz wrote:

Meri basti se pare bhi mere dushman honge
Par yahan kab koi aghyaar ka lashkar utra
Aashna haath hi aksar meri jaanib lapke
Mere seene mein hamesha mera khanjar utra

Crude Urdu translation:

There might be my enemies beyond this town
But when did foreign armies invaded this place!
I was always assailed by familiar hands
The dagger that entered my chest was always my own

PSS: Let's see who can tell me the author of the above.
Already addressed.

Crude Urdu translation:

Crude English.

The argument was over the word "aghyaar". Some among us think that it means a charged up angry group and not just enemy.

Mere seene mein hamesha mera khanjar utra

Mai-rai see-nai mein Suth-aa mera upna hee Khun-jur oot-raa

[12thMan]

Attaulah can probably sing it and give it the glory it deserves

[Momo]

Crude English.
Yes. :D

Literally it means strangers. It's the plural of word 'ghair', opposite of 'apna' (plural 'apnay').
Mai-rai see-nai mein Suth-aa mera upna hee Khun-jur oot-raa
I have a feeling the correct one is a combination of this and the one I posted. :naved

I have feeling this is the correct one (because I checked on youtube, the great man himself).

Exactly, this guy is arguing that the root word is Aag.
He can't explain why the G turns into a ghain.

Well in that case you are right. I apologize. :)
