In the Eastern Hilly Region(EHR) of Nepal, Khai kupi le le... (a guy from ktm. would probably have no idea what the heck is a kupi...well, kupi = tuki.) Khai singada le le... (ktm. guy should know singada means samosa) A ktm. guy who was sitting in a sasurali shop in Terhathum was asked for a pentok. Now the guy has no clue what in the world or even better what in the terhathum is a pentok? Khai dimba le le.. (dimba means anda or ful) Charana,Aathana, barana, rupya (suka, mohar, tin suka, rupiya) lu lu..jum jum (la la..jaun jaun) Kanti (Kila...nail) tyami (pham) lakhe lakhe (no, not masked person...it means wait wait) marki lago hau.. (no, he/she didn't break any part of his/her body...rugha lagyo) Utho, hido, suto, baso, kudo... (uthyo, hidyo, basyo, kudyo...) how many ktm. people know what the heck are...hallund, fali, juwa (not gambling), mahra, dande, simali, dhursule, banmara, nigalo, olan....list goes on. I would love to learn boli chali from other parts of Nepal or Nepali speaking regions. I enjoyed reading pokhareli talk....ani hamra pahadan bolne Nepali pani samjhina man lago.

I know a lot of people have fun listening to/as well as MAKING fun of Darjeelingey Nepali but I have to say that up till now everybody OUTSIDE of Kathmandu seem to find Darjeeling bhasa quite metho. People there tend to us ANUKARAN sabdhas frequently :). To me, it sounds like a very passionate language. ;) For eg. Malai ta kyaaaaaaaa momo khanu maan lagyo ni. kyaaaaaaaa = dherai nai Gosh, shame on me! I've forgotten most of them but I'm sure some people here wouldn't mind contributing to this thread!

I am a regular Kathmaduite and attended a school where most of the teachers were from D-ling. And I LOVE their language. Honestly, this fairly young teacher who used to play soccer with us used to call out "..oye goli yata pass garr ta!". There was a time when I wondered what the hell "goli" was. "Sir, Let's go. It's time for breakfast" "..Ekchin rok la. Tatti garera aayihalen.." "..Aaja nani haru lai momo khuwaunu Naxal lageko ki, saaaro mitho pakayeko raichha ni hou! tara achar chahin kati din ko baasi lyaayera bro le relaaa garyo ni hou.." More later.

I think Dharane boli closely resembles Daz boli, at least I thought so. Ammmamamaaaaa!! don't know how to translate this exclamation remark. Nepali language(Nepali) is very rich in Anukarunatmak Words (AW). Without AW, Nepali will probably not survive or will be crippled if survives. Tyo manchhe ta dyangai ladyo......dhyam dhyam goli hanyo.......dyam ki dyam hannu parchha dhadma (from a fellow GBNC poster)......jhyammma jaad lagyo... tak tak oo aayo,....fyat fyat chappal fatkaudai aayo...fyatta jharyo...vwakka hanyo.... tirmir tirmir po gardai chha ta ankha ta...chesma ko lumber pherne bela bho

Some of the typical boli chali from Tehrathum: udho jau: tala jau ubho jau: mathi jau puchar ko ghar: dada ma sab bhanda tala ko ghar (puchar : tail) siran ko ghar: dada ma sab bhanda mathi ko ghar (siran: pillow) kati khera phirne: kati khera pharkine (return) thuli or thule: eldest ekchin bat marauna: ekchin kura garauna It's making me nostalgic.

I had this teacher from Darj. He was like, "tu dherai nabol la. bhetlas taile." I suppose that means don't talk a lot, you'll get a spanking. Help me.

Elder daughter: "E ama bhai royo, bhulamnai sakina." Mother: Kannaan halera jhyakjhyak par na. (Kannaan halera=Dhad ma rakhnu,bui boknu jhyak jhyak parnu=tala mathi hallaunu) ************** TC : In Ratnapark we took tempo and one friend said "Tapain Ascol ma ho ki TC ma re?" The face of a lady in front of us was changed blue. TC=Trichandra College, TC= Woman's secret part **************

momo: let me straighten that up for you a bit: "tan dherai nabol hai, bhetlas ni ahiley" = dherai nabol natra kutai khala. For my ears: bhetlas ni ahiley provides a picture for me :). More picturesque: Dherai nabol hai, ram dhulai khalas. :) Of course, that doesn't mean we write exactly the same way as we talk.
