bruv it meanz...

broda-in-law..
so she mite be tinkin dat u is gona marry her sis or sumfink

nah mate it ain't dulabhai, I asked her sis and she said "dolabhai" is a similar sounding word, but it is pronounced "doller" not "duller"...

The one clue she gave me was that it is made up of two different words?

maybe it's dollar-bhai.

money-man?



could that be you?

[DJ_Jammy]

ahh yes that would be the one

I had a feeling it was some half english/bengali slang...

anyone know a suitable come back for this?

a translation for "scrounger" would be nice

[Anika]

Aren't you from bangladesh?

if not then where from?

scrounger? Hhhmm, don't know.

call her pitchi= pitch like pitching a ball, then "chee"

Pitch Chee

usually anyone gets annoyed being called that. It means "small" but usually a bit negative or just playful.

if you want profanities then I'm not teaching it to you though.

I'm actually from the UK, and have had a keen interest in Islam for a while now

I've never followed the bible because it seemed very contradictive, however after reading a translated Quran it it all made total sense to me + the fact that the holy words written have never changed in all these years and the fact that it could have been written yesterday such is its freshness

well a little over a year ago I meet this bengali girl who has since taught me alot about Islam and bangladesh

fascinated by this, I started using the net to find out as much as I could about this wonderful culture and language

I've now been studying bengali for a few months now (still trying to get the hang off that r sound!) and look forward to studying basic arabic so I can finally declare shahaadah

p.s thanks for help, much appreciated!
