| John: Meaning - "End of holiday. Really didn't feel like coming back!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| John: Listen again to मीरा (miiraa)'s post. |
| Shakti: मीरा: छुट्टी ख़त्म। मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (chuttii khaTm. maN Nahiin kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) |
| John: "End of holiday. Really didn't feel like coming back!" |
| Shakti: (SLOW) मीरा: छुट्टी ख़त्म। मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (chuttii khaTm. maN Nahiin kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) (Regular) मीरा: छुट्टी ख़त्म। मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (chuttii khaTm. maN Nahiin kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "End of holiday." |
| Shakti: छुट्टी खतम। (chuttii khaTam.) |
| John: The last word… |
| Shakti: khaTam |
| John: means “finished," “done," or “ended." So, the entire expression means “end of holidays” or “holiday ends.” Listen again - "End of holiday" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) छुट्टी खतम। (chuttii khaTam.) (REGULAR) छुट्टी खतम। (chuttii khaTam.) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Didn't feel like coming back!" |
| Shakti: मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (maN Nahii kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) |
| John: The expression starts with the word… |
| Shakti: maN |
| John: which means “mind.” You can use it when talking about both thoughts and feelings in Hindi. Using this word, you can say… |
| Shakti: maN karNaa |
| John: which literally sounds like “to do mind” or “mind doing.” You can translate it as "I feel like." The entire expression means “my mind was against coming back,” which actually means “I didn't feel like coming back.” Listen again - "Didn't feel like coming back!" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (maN Nahii kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) (REGULAR) मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (maN Nahii kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) |
| John: Altogether, "End of holiday. Really didn't feel like coming back!" |
| Shakti: मीरा: छुट्टी ख़त्म। मन नहीं कर रहा था वापिस आने का! (chuttii khaTm. maN Nahiin kar rahaa THaa vaapiS aaNe kaa!) |
