No.

In chinese, "ma" mean mum and "ma" means horse.

Yeah, precisely. Its easier to explain if are familiar with all four tones in Chinese Mandarin.

Anyways, I'm bored. My attempt at explaining.

I wasted my time recording an explanation. Nice one .

[Saraxnow]

Bear with me, I have a terrible cold and I was trying to keep my voice down as it's the middle of the night .

[BlackVelvet]

Keyblade there was no difference sorry mate


Tuba beeeeeeeer, ber! lol you from Australia?

[Keyblade]

ah fuck it. I'm probably tone deaf or maybe the circumstances are affecting my intonation, but trust me there's a difference.

[Tuba]

Tuba beeeeeeeer, ber! lol you from Australia?

Yeah mate. I have a weird recording voice.

Bear with me, I have a terrible cold and I was trying to keep my voice down as it's the middle of the night .

I could just make the slight difference though. You should have emphasized the feminine one a bit more sort of like (shadda on the 'n' when reading quraan ) Good job

@key


Gaadhi= Car, Gaadh= get there. But gharri is also Hindi for car.

[Keyblade]

Tuba, yeah you're right. Should've put more emphasis on the second n.

Sara, Gaadhi and Gaadh although spelled the same have way different pronunciations . I'd probably go as far to say car = gaari instead of gaadhi.

[Saraxnow]

Really? I pronounce it with dh instead of r though.

[Keyblade]

Yeah? I've never heard that pronunciation before. But in any case the 'aa' sound in the 2 words are different. The aa in gaadhi as in car sounds like the a in car whereas in gaadh it's like the a in cat.

[Lillaahiya]

Basali=pink. Onions=basal. Onions are mostly pink, hence the word basali

I've just heard real true blue Aussie 'Nooooo'.

Konfur - No fcking idea.

Jareer - Jar means cut/sever. Reer is family/clan. Therefore your family severs all ties with you if you marry a jareer.

Is it only me or the main point of this thread was about those two lines?

Nice on, abdi.ismail!


Liilalaw!
