dalsingh101 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) ਕਲਪਣਾ This one is extra interesting. Modern usage seems to denote: to imagine, speculate, assume, fancy, formulate, think about, invent But it also seems to be used in the definition of: to lament, moan; to complain; to express pain, grief or torment; to shout in bani. I like to fancy myself as a ਕਲਪਨਾਤਮਿਕ (imaginative) person but maybe it's just wishful thinking?

Mithar Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 ਉਲਥਾ This means "translation", this is a real Punjabi word. Although I mostly see people using the word "tarjama" instead which I think is an Urdu word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Was wondering if a native Panjabi speaker could clarify. Is the way I have used the adhik here in this transliteration of the word 'cigarette' correct? ਸਿਗਰੱਇਟ Also, recently I noticed that when I search for a translation of the word 'throw' in Panjabi I get: ਸੁੱਟਣ, ਸੋਟ, ਸੁੱਟ but we've always seemed to use the word ਸਿੱਟ growing up? Anyone shed any light on this? Edited September 3, 2011 by dalsingh101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekhane'ch Jannat Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 ਕਲਪਨਾ Means to form fashion or make something in the mind. It is interesting to note in Hindu cosmology the the act of creation is known as Srishti-Kalpana, the world is a thought in the active imagination of the creator. As Human Beings are reflections of the creator we also have this ability to create mentally. But this facility of active imagination has been corrupted in kaljug which is why Gurbani calls it an affliction. Instead of having the mental power and purity to create real forms and ideas the mind becomes wavering and starts daydreaming and thinking randomly according to any old mental associations. So there are two senses to this word one which is an active directed conscious imagining, the other; a random wandering daydreaming of thought. To read Gurbani you need kalpana shakti to be able to enter into the deep meanings contained within Gurbani. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Seeing as we have a new forum member who appears to be very keen on improving their Panjabi (johnyork)- I thought I'd bump this thread up, in case it is of any use to them. It might even be a good idea for some of the original contributers to test their retention of the words that were posted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhagatSingh Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is a good thread. Keep it running. ਪੂਰਨਿਆਂ - Are letters written in dots so a child can trace over and learn to write the letter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 So would the word 'template' be the right one to choose? I really struggled with this word when I translated the Ganda Singh essay from Sainapati's Gursobha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhagatSingh Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) No I think it's just those dotted letters, not a template. Apparently there are 3 more meanings. Check it out. It could be any one of them. English Translation(1) v.t. to fill up ditch, pit, etc. to take or fulfil a partisan stand, stand by ones side of dispute. (2) n.m. letter written in pencil to be written over by a learner child; ideal exemplary achievement (instead of "template") Edited February 15, 2013 by BhagatSingh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anandpuria Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think 'satwara' means the seven days of the week, or a week. A similar word in use these days is 'Pandarwara' that means a fortnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhKhoj Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Your right anandpuria, original punjabi word for week. Hafta is more turko-persian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Can we keep up the standard of using Gurmukhi guys. It sort of defeats the purpose of the thread otherwise (i.e. to promote and encourage use of the language in its original script). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
