[ANON POST] Hindi translation - dirty talk, apology

Apr 01, 2012 21:29

I'm looking for two sentences in Hindi. Setting is modern-day; the characters are not native Hindi speakers, learned it some time ago, and would be prone to outdated phrasing.

Cut for dirty talk. )

I dunno much about hindi as a language, but I do know that the "auntie" thing is in several cultures. Speaking from the perspective of the japanese, at least (again, I don't know if it's the same in Hindi)... It's not so much that you call everyone aunt, it's that the word for your aunt and the word for an adult woman are the same.. In japanese, a young woman is called by the same word as you'd use to call your big sister, an adult woman is the same as your aunt, and an old woman is the same as your grandmother. (and the same on the male side of things) ... these words are used to attract people's attention. Just like you or I might walk up and say "miss" or "Lady" "ma'am" or "grandma" (which has a disrespectful context, if we're talking to a stranger, at least in america) to get someone's attention, it's the same sort of idea in japan. Auntie is just a way of saying "hey you, the adult woman there." rather then professing relationship bonds.

Again, not sure if this is the same as is in Hindi, but it would probably also depend on how comfortable the speaker is in the language.
