| POST |
| John: Listen again to अमन (amaN)'s post. |
| Shakti: इतनी शांतिपूर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (iTNii saaNTiipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) |
| John: "I have never been to such a peaceful and beautiful place before." |
| Shakti: (SLOW) इतनी शांतिपूर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (iTNii saaNTiipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) (Regular) इतनी शांतिपूर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (iTNii saaNTiipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Such a peaceful and beautiful place." |
| Shakti: इतनी शान्तिपपुर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह (iTNii saaNTipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah) |
| John: The first word… |
| Shakti: iTNii |
| John: means “this much," so the entire expression means “such a peaceful and beautiful place.” The phrase… |
| Shakti: saaNTipuurn |
| John: is derived from the noun meaning “peace.” It’s usually reserved for talking about places and environments. Listen again - "Such a peaceful and beautiful place" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) इतनी शान्तिपपुर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह (iTNii saaNTipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah) (REGULAR) इतनी शान्तिपपुर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह (iTNii saaNTipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "I have never been to before." |
| Shakti: मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) |
| John: This expression has the word… |
| Shakti: kabhii |
| John: which means “anytime, sometime.” But when combined with the word… |
| Shakti: Nahiin |
| John: meaning “no,” the meaning of the phrase… |
| Shakti: kabhii Nahiin |
| John: ...becomes “never.” Listen again - "I have never been to before" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) (REGULAR) मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) |
| John: Altogether, "I have never been to such a peaceful and beautiful place before." |
| Shakti: इतनी शांतिपूर्ण और खूबसूरत जगह मैं पहले कभी नहीं गया (iTNii saaNTiipuurn aur khuubSuuraT jagah main pahle kabhii Nahiin gayaa) |
