| Shakti: मस्त कॉन्सर्ट - गर्लफ्रेंड और दोस्त के साथ बड्डा मज़्ज़ा आया| (maST kauNSart - girlfriend aur dost ke SaaTH, badaa mazaa aayaa.) |
| John: "Awesome concert - had a lot of fun with the girlfriend and the third wheel." |

| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Fantastic concert." |
| Shakti: मस्त कॉन्सर्ट (maST kauNSart) |
| John: The expression starts with the word… |
| Shakti: maST. |
| John: It’s originally a spiritual term that refers to the state of intoxication in devotion. However, it’s become a very common colloquial term that means “fun," “free," “immensely enjoyable," “carefree fun,” and “fantastic.” Listen again - "Fantastic concert" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) मस्त कॉन्सर्ट (maST kauNSart) (REGULAR) मस्त कॉन्सर्ट (maST kauNSart) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "had a lot of fun with the girlfriend and the third wheel." |
| Shakti: गर्लफ्रेंड और दोस्त के साथ बड्डा मज़्ज़ा आया| (girlfriend aur dost ke SaaTH badaa mazaa aayaa) |
| John: The word… |
| Shakti: girlfriend |
| John: Is used the same way as it is in English. It is a loanword. Listen again - "had a lot of fun with the girlfriend and the third wheel" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) गर्लफ्रेंड और दोस्त के साथ बड्डा मज़्ज़ा आया| (girlfriend aur dost ke SaaTH badaa mazaa aayaa) (REGULAR) गर्लफ्रेंड और दोस्त के साथ बड्डा मज़्ज़ा आया| ( girlfriend aur dost ke SaaTH badaa mazaa aayaa) |
| John: Altogether, "Awesome concert - had a lot of fun with the girlfriend and the third wheel." |
| Shakti: मस्त कॉन्सर्ट - गर्लफ्रेंड और दोस्त के साथ बड्डा मज़्ज़ा आया| (maST kauNSart - girlfriend aur dost ke SaaTH, badaa mazaa aayaa.) |
