ok..
so ayu keep guessing the Jhaaloka...
abidees..yuh know this wan???
james u r right..but there is another meaning ..more popular....
pple wouild ask if have 'sukantee' if u blowing hard...with yuh shoulder lifting upwards..like uyuh fighting fuh breath...
so i think they meant 'asthma' or 'blowing'
here is 1 term used..but im not sure if i know the meaning..abidees helpme out here...
dharam-putney or dharam-pukney( used like "who? dah dharanpukney??")
what about DULAAR!

nevah heard of the 1st 2...
but lagu-bagu....iknow that term...
like my mom used to tell my bros....'all kinda lagu-bagu yuh bring home'..or 'gat fuh company'
i think dharam-pukney conveys the same message...
but to translate????? meaning 'a nobody'
lacking ambition??? idler??? someone who wastes time..and life...????
ok what about JHA-RAY??? (now this has 2 meanings...not looking for the thing u do to get rid of 'spirits' by 'brooming' someone!)
JHATTAH!
Jah-tah-ha
KAAH-KAY??
leh me gie yuh clue fuh jhaloka...lil babies most have them..nice to pinch or bite!!!
and remember DULAAR!!

Jha-tha-ha = Having problem with combing hair with knots between preventing the comb teeth to glide. Women with long hair have this mostly.

Jane : Thanks for dharam-pukney. You got lagu-bagu correct. I dont know the other meaning of Jharay.
KAAH-KAY = extremenly hard to do
jhaloka = cheeks
DULAAR = behaviour which seeks the kind of loving attention like children

Abidees: I think you hindi translations will corrupt creolese. Last nite an indian friend tried to tell me about "gothay" and "chungkay" when i decribed how we make dhal. (she was trying to get my Dhal recipe but i told her it's in the process as well).
Anyway, hindi is tied to order and hierarchy whether our creolese is more open and innovative.
Would u agree?

| Na(m)an I agree with you because it is sometimes confusing when interpiting hindi and (Guyanese) creolese. Ghotay and choukay are also methods of cooking dhal.
