Can I ask you a question? Marwari Translation

Well this could come in handy when you're about to or want to ask some question to a marwari person. Just to have a personal touch and to make the person realize that it's something important you're going to ask, you could try asking it in marwari language. And this is how you should:


"Can I ask you a question?"

Translation

Informal(common for both the genders)
To him and her: Kai mai thanne ek prashn pooch saku?


Respectful (common for both the genders)
To him and her: Kai mai aapne ek prashn pooch saku?

What's happening? - Marwari Translation

Any icebreaker in a conversation or should I say any initial chat these days always starts with a "What's up", which basically means 'what's going on'.

Let me translate that into Marwari for you. So, you know, don't have to sit ideally in that marwari wedding *pun intended*.

"What's going on?"

or

"What's happening"

In Marwari, this is asked in just one way irrespective of the gender you're asking to.

Translation:

Aur kai chaal riyo hai?

I don't like it- Marwari translation

I have been updating all the positive phrases until now. How about learning something negative?

You see, life is not fair at all times. You have to say a no when needed. You have to be a little negative and probably just saying 'I don't like it' would convey what you're trying to say.

Suppose you don't seem to like something. You say 'I don't like it' or 'I didn't like it'. Plain and simple.

Now let me tell you how would you say that in Marwari.

1) I don't like it

Translation:

Mahnne accho nahi lage.

or

Mahnne accho nahi lagriyo hai.


2) I didn't like it

Translation:

Mahnne accho nahi lago.

or

Mahnne accho nahi lagyo.

Good luck and happy learning!
