| POST |
| John: Listen again to अमन (amaN)'s post. |
| Shakti: सस्ते में झकास खाना जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ! (SaSTen mein jhakaaS khaaNaa jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH!) |
| John: "Fabulous food at a low price, with beloved friends!" |
| Shakti: (SLOW) सस्ते में झकास खाना जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ! (SaSTen mein jhakaaS khaaNaa jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH!) (Regular) सस्ते में झकास खाना जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ! (SaSTen mein jhakaaS khaaNaa jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Fabulous food at a low price." |
| Shakti: सस्ते में झकास खाना (SaSTe mein jhakaaS khaaNaa) |
| John: Here, we have the word… |
| Shakti: SaSTe mein |
| John: It means “at a low price.” You can use this expression to emphasize that, though the item is good, it was purchased at a low price. Then, we have the word… |
| Shakti: jhakaaS. |
| John: This is a slang word, originally from Mumbai. It means something like "fantastic," "fabulous." Listen again - "Fabulous food at a low price" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) सस्ते में झकास खाना (SaSTe mein jhakaaS khaaNaa) (REGULAR) सस्ते में झकास खाना (SaSTe mein jhakaaS khaaNaa) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "with beloved friends." |
| Shakti: जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ (jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH) |
| John: Here, we have the word… |
| Shakti: jigarii |
| John: which comes from the word meaning “heart.” So the word “beloved friends,” or... |
| Shakti: jigarii DoST |
| John: ...refers to friends who are so close they're like family - the closest of close friends. Listen again - "with beloved friends" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ (jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH) (REGULAR) जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ (jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH) |
| John: Altogether, "Fabulous food at a low price, with beloved friends!" |
| Shakti: सस्ते में झकास खाना जिगरी दोस्तों के साथ! (SaSTen mein jhakaaS khaaNaa jigarii DoSTon ke SaaTH!) |
