Conversations Around the House

Since I am on a roll

We were listening to Khuda Khair  and this was the lyrics

Wo jab nakhoon kutarti hai
To chanda ghatne lagta hai
Wo paani par kadam rakhe
Sagar bhi hat jata hai

Me: What Kutarti hai means?

NK: Like biting, like a mouse will bite the food

Me: So what else can one kutarte.

NK: Its like nibbling.

Me:Can I then kutarte your ear, since its nibbling

NK: No you cannot, its not used that way. Argggh dont kutarte my ears Stop it.

——————————-

This is favourite thing of mine, to listen to songs, pick out a random word and demand an explanation complete with examples of said word used in 3 different sentences

    I am sorry to put it this way, but do you know there is something called verb-forms? And something called grammar? So kutarte / kutarti are no words, but forms of kutarna, and you use it in different ways…So you dont kutarte someone’s ears, you can ‘kutar’ them…It didn’t sound funny to me the way you used it, but rather irritating improper uses (of simple words)…

    Anyway….

    Me:Kutarte/kutartne isnt simple to me. If it was, I would have known the meaning right? I didnt grow up speaking Hindi. Just from yesterday, these were mistakes my dh pointed. Gussa ata hai..not ati hai. Aloo acha bana(I used achi..i think) Dhoop lagta hai(not lagti hai)

  8. LOL!! You ARE funny!

    ‘Clever’ use of the word in sentences…hehehe :D

    BTW, admire the way you handle rude comments here. People can make their point even without sounding so unpleasant, na?

    Me: I was trying to be all Zen like. Woh Bob Dylan na kaha hai na, You can kill someone with kindness. Am trying that out for
    a bit.

    Well..I am none to point out, but could not resist saying that bit for you :)

    I didn’t understand the language… But that tradition of picking random words from songs is cute.

    Me: It is a good way to pick up new words. I then try to show my newly accquired vocab to people. Sometimes it backfires though.

  10. Suki says:

    Wow, it’s been ages since I saw/heard/read that word. My Hindi is severely challenged, though most people will say I do very well for a Bong :P

    And “don’t kutarte my ears”? LOL

  11. Roop Rai says:
