POST
John: Listen again to अमन (amaN)'s post.
Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!)
John: "The whole Sinha family altogether! Like always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!"
Shakti: (SLOW) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) (Regular) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!)
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "The whole Sinha family altogether!"
Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe!)
John: This expression has the word…
Shakti: khaaNDaaN
John: which means “full extended family." This usually applies to all of the relatives that share the same family name. Listen again - "The whole Sinha family altogether!" is...
Shakti: (SLOW) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe!) (REGULAR) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe!)
John: Then comes the phrase - "As always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!."
Shakti: हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii hanSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!)
John: You can see the list of words, such as…
Shakti: hanSii-mazak
John: “laughter and fun”
Shakti: khaaNaa-piiNaa
John: “food and drink”
Shakti: gaaNaa-bajaaNaa
John: “sing and play” as in “playing instruments.” Hindi uses a lot of such phrases, combining similar and rhyming words to describe environments. Listen again - "As always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!" is...
Shakti: (SLOW) हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii hanSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) (REGULAR) हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii hanSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!)
John: Altogether, "The whole Sinha family altogether! Like always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!"
Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!)
