First of all, I would like to congratulate all the Gaualy Nepali bros for coming here and getting their degree in mathematics, computers, whatever, but doing that, I wish they'd learn some manners and learn how to say "thank you". There is this one dude, that is so pakeh and gaulay, i gave him a ride 3 times, and never said "than k you" poor guy didn't even know how to open the car door the first time. Just wish the brothers would know that memorizing the whole book is not the most important thing. Manner s brothers, manners. go socialize....

That is so true, I have had a similar experienc in the past. Simple stuff like "thank you, "please" "your welcome" is soooo not hard.

I don't know why you enjoy ridiculing him for 'not knowing how to open door'. Evidently,
your intention from the first was to ridicule this poor guy.
Help others, tell him to say 'thank you' when someone (not you, that would be kind of inappropriate) helps him. People will slowly learn. Ignorance should not be a reason to
jeer someone.
You are not the only person who has given rides. Others don't say that bitter word, I bet.

Perhaps, you were in the same disgusting situation when you first arrived here.....
Ignorance is not an excuse... but someone should try to teach one at the first place...
How many times do you say thank you when you in Nepal... Just a nodding could be enough... or say... khisikka dant dekhayera mussukk hansidiyo bhane.. we used to understand that is thank you.....

Perhaps,
It doesn't matter wheter you are in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, USA , whatever, saying "thank you" is a simple thing.

i was just telling it like it is. In nepal i'm sure u might not have said "thank you" but i'm sure you knew how to say "danaybad" . No matter where your from you should have respect for others that help you. If u don't even know that then, get some kindergarden education.

Regardless of your name, your mind shows otherwise. First of all, you do not have to show descency to congratulate all the gaule bros who come here to get the degree. But still you do and it is so nice of you. I am one hundred percent with you that we have to say ' thank you' as some kind of compliment. But, I would like to let you know that it is still not the part of our nepali culture to say thank you interms of general behavior eventhough it seemed nice if we would. If you are still in Nepal, I hardly believe that you would say" thank you, anyway" to a local cab driver who would deny taking you to your desired destination. Well, I would be hundred percent wrong if you did otherwise. In this situation, I really can not blame these GAUNLEY( am I talking loud here???) to show this kind of tendency whenever they first get here (are you talking about US, right?.
And to my beloved fellow poster, Have you ever had chance to unlatch the cockpit door of B52? I doubt and again I plead guilty if you have done it. You simply can not call somebody pakhey only because he/she does not know how to open your freaking car door. Well! if you have 2002 Ferrarie, I may not be able to open your damn car door coz I never have got oppertunity to even touch such type of car.
Manners bro..manners

When I used to say "Dhanyabad" in Nepal, people used to look at me not knowing what to do. They would be confused. They would wonder what they had done to warrant this rarely used word of nepali sabdakosh. Then they would just think i might have some kind of problem.
Otherwise why would anybody say "Dhanyabad" just for having his hairfcut, or other such mundane things. Ani kasaile "Dhanyabad" bhanyo bhane ke bhanne? "Feri Aaonus!"?
"Dhanyabad" everybody for reading my posting.;)

I'm sure you had servants at home and cousins and brothers and sisters you asked favors from. Did you always thank them?? NO. You know why not?? There can be different reasons.
1. You presumed they were younger than you or lower in status than you and you didn't have to thank.
2. Culturally, we are not a very gracious group. That means, we rarely say thank you and please. I mean GENERALLY!! I am not going to go into each group which MAY say "dhanyabad" or "dayagari". Therefore, it didn't come naturally to you to say thanks or please.
THEREFORE, while agreeing that we should say these two important words, I would suggest that we subtly teach folks not make FUN of them.
I'm sure you never even thanked your driver who gave you rides everywhere nor the taxi driver for braving the streets of KTM so please don't behave as if you knew this common courtesy when you were born. (maybe you were but it seems like you weren't)

you need to stop making false accusation of something i didnt ssay? i am not talking about saying thanks to your driver in NEPAL. i was talking about BROTHERS WHO LIVE IN THE STATES FOOL. read before you start writing bull ****.
IN nepal i did say thanks to my driver and everyone because my parents brought me up that way, just because your parents showed you no manners doesn't mean mine didn't

Do you have to be raised in the States to learn how to say "thank you", i think if you've been in the States for more than 2 years, you would know how to say "thank you" when someone does something generous.

Aba hernus cutie ji,
Kura ke bhane ni, it is difficult to change people. You know what! there is a joke:
Husbands expect their wife not to change after marriage, but they change.
Gfs expect their bfs to change after marriage, but they don't. lol
Kura ke bhane ni, car ko dhoka anek prakar ko huncha. even people living for 10 years ( americans themselves) may find opening dhoka of other's car confusing. Have you noticed some of the chairs in US universities. They require a 1 day training ( may be more) to operate competently. hehe
Kura ke bhane ni cutie ji, Nepali aakhir Nepali nai ho. Woo na ta american huna sakcha na mexican. Thahariyo, gaunle Nepali. Yehi ho gaunle jivan, yehi nai ho nepali jivan. haha

obviously you are not smart enough to understand what I meant.
I wasn't opposing what you wrote, I was trying to make you see where they might be coming from.
You said thanks to your driver?? YOU FIBBER!!!!!
Your parents may have taught you how to say thanks but obviously they didn't teach you how NOT TO BE HAUGHTY!

Oys,
Cheap Publicity, bwahahahhahaha, give me f&*(&ing break. You know, you seem so vicious, I thought I'd tell you "nice post" after reading your post down below, but now i just fee like saying " maybe you deserve to be all alone" and why the hell you so interested in our roots? That is so irrelevant.

Ok about the car door situation, ok whatever, i won't make fun, but we're talking about a simple "thank you" after giving this dude a ride 3 F&(&(ing times.

Suna,
we get your point, nobody is really making fun of the dude, She's just pissed she wasn't being thanked by some grown a$$ 30 year old male. Now everybody here has busy lives, but she was nice enough give him rides so many times, least he could do is say "thank you". But how do you really teach the man to say a "thank you". do you say "oh boka, thank you bhanna sala"? tell me

Jira, ki besar, whatever your name is
THank you is a jester that you show someone when they've done something out of their way to help you. Frankly, when someone invites me for dinner, i buy them desert. When i'm staying at someone's house i buy them some kind of gift. I know in my family in Nepal, THANKING SOMEONE FOR SOMETHING KIND THEY'VE DONE IS NECESSARY, i'm just trying to figure out, if your parents are ignorant, or just stupid,...(well with a nema like jira, what more can i say?)

Beautiful ji,
I think it should be gesture and not jester. However, I commend you on choosing this word, that is jester. jester is someone who is a fool or buffoon at medieval courts.
You know takes be back to those days. jesting on their own fun say. You know what, it takes intelligence to act as a fool in front of kings and other dignitaries. It is no small matter.
I know of this jester who entertains the world. King thinks he is a fool. Everybody does. But no. Oh no, he is not. He is the wisest person in the kingdom. Later on, in the story he solves a problem facing the kingdom.
But is "Thank you" a jester or a gesture? let's see........
Does the expression "Thank you" make people laugh. I mean, it might make people smile. But does it actually make them people laugh out laugh (as in lol)? Actually laugh their guts out? If it does then jester might be the right word!
But if you r trying to say gesture then it is a whole diffirent story.........

I guess I didn't realize that I was addressing the both of you.
This is what I would do if I were you if I was getting that offended, I would say, dai, welcome, or...jokingly, dai, thank you ta bhannu hos (I have done this on several occassions). OR just stop giving him rides. Nobody is holding you at gun point to give him or whoever rides.
Biruwa, wonder who is the court jester here :).

Beautiful...you're so right...these gaunle pakheys don't know the simple jesture to say "thank you"....matter of fact, they don't know anything...that's why they are gaunle pakhey.....but, what I have observed from your utterance is :....
First of all, your nick contradicts by what you think of others.....secondly, you're being the subject of ridicule yourself by denouncing others...thirdly, that shows your true upbringing and morals.....I am sorry for your parents......
By saying that, however, I am not trying to defame you here...if you know the true etymology of what those terms "gaunle" and "pakhey" come from....I bet you lie under the same root.....
Also, like cutie said, this guy has been here in the states for over two years and it doesn't take long to learn two simple words of "thank you"...if that is the case, he certainly is not worthy of any more favors..but definitely not worthy of such heinous comments.....my pledge to you, when you comment on someone, be sure to use the right words.....
IN ALL GOOD FAITH
