Lmao, get a grip. What he said is more or less correct. This is a student forum so he doesn't really need to show respect to anyone as everyone's likely to be around his age so he's allowed to be informal. Some Gujaratis use nukar/nikar so it's perfectly fine in the context it was used. And it's "nai-toh" btw, if your own Gujarati isn't perfect then don't correct his. :rolleyes:


actually you can speak with respect to anyone you speak to, in a sense "tumeh" should be used when speaking towards someone anyways.... and not really, people are of different ages, there are gcse students, uni students, college students.... mature students, but keh i understand what you mean by the informal bit.

no nakar is not part of the guji language, thats just how they mix match words in india, but it is not of guji origin, but it can again be used by those that aint guji but just picked it up from their surroundings.

hmm yeh it is "nai-toh" well done mate :congrats: but again as with your whole nukar/nikar thing, its a mix match thing and many gujis also use the "neh-toh" one as i picked it up while i was in india.

ignoring your last comment since what you said doesnt really prove anything against me......
It's all kicking off tonight, lads.

well on the hindi/urdu tsr thread I always tend to use aap simply because I have got no idea who these people are in real life so I guess in that way I should take a respectful tone. I use tum as well but only for friends and cousins etc. I never use tu as my mum and dad refer to me as tu and I don't have children yet.

OR if I want to be really fancy I'll refer to myself as "hum" if I want to be REALLY respectful, but that is very rarely used now a days and people might think you are some posh artistocratic weirdo LOL.

I don't know if the above is the same in Gujarati.

Oh wow you do history .. it's like a really hard subject in my view

Lol well yh something like that, more about how people with special needs and other stuff learn and like how to get them more into their learning and other stuff (I'm not good at describing but I do know what it is, we had a person come into talk to us) Surprisingly I've never heard of him :/


History is a great subject, I love it! Though Physics on the other hand is insanely difficult.. Anyone who can get an A in that can do anything :P

Ah I see, sounds very interesting and he's like a person who helps you remember things and revise more efficiently and stuff like that by understanding how the brain functions :smile:
