Dahi (yogurt) hota hai ya hoti hai

[Momo]

I have always believed that 'dahi hota hai', but I have heard some people say 'dahi hoti hai'. Which one is correct?

What about saabun (soap)? I would say 'saabun hota hai', but have heard some people insist 'saabun hoti hai'. Which one is correct?

[Khabri420]

See our Pathan brothers keep it simple...when they speak urdu everything is 'hoti hai'

[Momo]

True. But what about the non-Pathan populace?

[Khabri420]

Akh Momo, I agree with you in both cases.

dahi hota hai
saabun hota hai

[Momo]

One (correct) vote already!

[PakPassionate]

Pani Behta Hai ( NoN Pathan )
Pani Behti Hai ( Pathan )

Pani Bahayeee Hai ( Guess!! )

[TAK]

i would say deffo masculine

now which is that maunas or muzakar?

[Momo]

muzakkar

So two (sensible) votes as of this moment.

[MIG]

In a male dominated society, the golden rule is to use the muzzakar - only change it when there is no choice !

so Garri (car) is a muanas due to the fact that it has a Yay at the end - same applies to Kashtee (boat)!

Dahi is an anomaly ! given above rule, you would expect it to be a muanas - but its not (or is it !)

Jaise bhi ho, zaroori baat yeh hai ke hum khoob sara dahi peeyen.

It means hota hai. I agree.
This part of your grammar is sound, Dhoni. But let me tell you that according to urdu grammar, dahi is never drank; it's always eaten.

Dahi khaana, na ke dahi peena.

If you are drinking it, then it must be something else.

Yaar, I knew it but somehow mistyped it......

[Legendary_Sage]

Dahi hota hai.(dahi khati hai and dahi khata hai.both of these are very common)
Sabun hota hai.

[DHONI183]

Okay, tell me about this one:

1. "Yeh aurat bohat laraka hai"

2. "Yeh aurat bohat laraki hai"

Which of the two is right?

[Khabri420]

First one

[McBoom]

Dahi hota hae aur khaya jata hae.

Sabun bhi hota hae.

[moumotta]

It is very confusing. Dahi hota hai but if you churn it to a loose thick paste with some water then lassi hoti hai.

Ever seen an easier gender change process.

I say Dahi hoti hai and Saabun hota hai .

What about " aik baj raha hai " or is it " aik baj rahay hai'n "

[Free Hit]

Originally Posted by Looney I say Dahi hoti hai and Saabun hota hai . What about " aik baj raha hai " or is it " aik baj rahay hai'n "

simple! aik is one so its baj, rahay is used for more than!

[Looney]

^i say baj rahay hai'n i have heard people say both

[FastBowler]

Momo you're right

Acha bacha hai (Non-Pathan)
Achi bacha hai (Pathan)

Your grammar is impeccable, sir!

[Fawad_Bhai]

oh momo bhai

dahi hoti hai

aur saabun hota hai

[DHONI183]

[blinding light]

Saabun is masculine.

I'm not very sure about Dahi. Dahi banti hay/ dahi ko jaag (ferment) laga di hay / dahi khani hay..... thats what I've always heard.. So I think its feminine..

Also one more thing : Haleem.. Is it a guy or a girl? Because in my (very large), everyone has said "Haleem BANTA hay.." but everyone else says haleem "banti" hay...

[Looney]

^ Haleem banti hai

[Khabri420]

Khana BANTA hay. Hence HALEEM bhi BANTA hoga?

Biryani BANTI hai, saalan BANTA hai.

[blinding light]

Quorma BANTA hay, Pulao BANTI hay....

[Looney]

Originally Posted by Khabri420 Khocha, kidhar banti hai, Peshawar main?

honestly all this depends on your family background or where you grew up. i think both are acceptable although pathans take it a bit too far by making everything zanana . but what i mean to say is that people say both like 1 baja hai or 1 bajay hain both are acceptable

i have heard most people say haleem banai hai or haleem khani hai ? so haleem is zanana for me

[d0gers]

Nopes, pulao bhi BANTA hay, ya PAKTA hay.

[abc_to_xyz]

hota hay.. maybe 4 pathans hoti hay

[Looney]

pulao waqai banta hai

[Looney]

This thread reminds me of a joke

Aik Punjabi aur Pathan ki aapas mai'n larai ho rahi thi .
Punjabi : " paani behta hai "
Pathan : " paani behti hai "

Kaafi larai ke baad dono mai'n tay huwa ke kissi se ja kar poochte hai'n . Dono saamne baithay huwe aik bihari ke pas gaye aur us se sawaal poocha .

" Paani to na behta hai na behti hai , Paani to bahay hai . " Bihari ne jawab dia

[PakZameen]

Dahi piya bhi jata hai.

btw, hota hai ya hoti hai kis time use karo gay?

hota ya hoti to maine kabhi use nahi kiya.

"Dahi hai?" asking mom if there is dahi
"Dahi khaya hai" i ate dahi

i guess you could use it here : "Dahi khatam ho gaya/gaye hai" to gaya use ho ga.

Hota hai ya hoti hai is just to identify the gender of the object. Regardless of whether the term 'Dahi hota/hoti hay' itself doesn't get used.

[ace4rmspace]

Dahi hota hai bhaiyo ... Lassee hoti hai.

I have never in my life heard anyone say Khattee Dahi ya Meethi Dahi. Its always Khattaa ya Meetha. Or maybe I've been talking to the wrong people but, nah, that can't be right surely!

[Justcrazy]

Dahi na hota hai na hoti hai............. dahi to HOWE hai.

[Looney]

^ lol


i swear dahi hoti hai

[Fireworks11]

It's always:

Dahi hoti hai

[Striver]

oye nahi oye...... you all got it wrong.... this is how the punjabis say it

dahi jamta hay.... ya phir dahi jamti hay...... lolz

Just like the case that a man´s child doesn´t have to be a boy always.

[pakcricketfan]

I always say dahi hoti hai, haleem hoti hai, lekin saabun hota hai.

[ace4rmspace]

Dahi HOTA hai bhei ...

its masculine ;)

[DHONI183]

Iss sawwaal se mujhe bhi eik sawaal soojh raha hai....... Kya geynd (ball) hoti hai yaan hota hai? Is 'ball' feminine or masculine in our Urdu language?

Can someone answer it?

[USIND]

'Ball' hoti hai aur 'bat' hota hai.

[pakcricketfan]

^ Hahaha! You know what.. I asked my brother EXACTLY the same question yesterday!

His reply was: "Ball hoti hai. Laikin geynd hota hai!"

In normal cricketing language in our country, geynd/ball HOTA hai. Our cricketers usually say "Geynd hil raha tha", "Ball phans k aaya bat per" etc etc

[DHONI183]

Aggar 'ball' hoti hai aur geynd hota hai, tou kya dono´n aapass mein shaadi kar saktey hain (without the use of 'homosexuality law') ?

[DHONI183]

I am glad that God has given us 'things' to differentiate, otherwise if it was left to our common sense we would have messed up things in every other sentence.

[USIND]

lol hahaha
