Sudh Hindi Ka Prayog Kijiye...

Time and again I get this craving to start translating english words to pure hindi just to bring some change to this monotonous life of mine... Here are some of the words... some coined by me... some by my friends... some are genuine hindi words but not used normally in our day to day conversation... well no credits given and none are taken... only some humour is given.

Actually currently there are hardly any words in the list... you can count on your fingers... even if you have four of them on your hand... but as usual I am thinking of long term when this post will contain a long list of words....

I will keep on adding to this list so watch out... if you understand hindi I bet you will have fun!!!!

sukhsm laher - microwave
karn dakhi swarn yantr - head phone
karn ghusi swarn yantr - ear phone
kimkartavyvimudh - vacillating mind

following is contribution from Raj Beniwal
Lowh path gamini - train
Lamb dand gol pind dhar pakad pratiyogita - Cricket

PS:note haven't used a suffix of 'a' after each word as it is done like in "yoga"... it is actually yog... sticking to sudh hindi again :-)

I am sure my south indian friends will beg to differ... they even put an 'a' after proper english words too... lefta... righta... no offense please... :-)

  1. i differ with the use of 'a' at the end as being termed ashuddha..
    agar aapko sanskrit aati hai to aap samajh paoge ki ant mein jo 'a' lagta hai woh aakhri varna ke liye hota hai... agar aakhri varna poora hai to 'a' lagta hai athwa agar usmein 'hatant' laga ho... to 'a' nahin lagta (hooo.... baaaaap reee..... )
