| Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) |
| John: Meaning - "The whole Sinha family altogether! Like always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| John: Listen again to अमन (amaN)'s post. |
| Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) |
| John: "The whole Sinha family altogether! Like always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!" |
| Shakti: (SLOW) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) (Regular) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "The whole Sinha family altogether!" |
| Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe!) |
| John: This expression has the word… |
| Shakti: khaaNDaaN |
| John: which means “full extended family." This usually applies to all of the relatives that share the same family name. Listen again - "The whole Sinha family altogether!" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe!) (REGULAR) पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe!) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "As always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!." |
| Shakti: हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii hanSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) |
| John: You can see the list of words, such as… |
| Shakti: hanSii-mazak |
| John: “laughter and fun” |
| Shakti: khaaNaa-piiNaa |
| John: “food and drink” |
| Shakti: gaaNaa-bajaaNaa |
| John: “sing and play” as in “playing instruments.” Hindi uses a lot of such phrases, combining similar and rhyming words to describe environments. Listen again - "As always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii hanSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) (REGULAR) हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii hanSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) |
| John: Altogether, "The whole Sinha family altogether! Like always, with a lot of laughter and jokes, food and drinks, singing and fun!" |
| Shakti: पूरा सिन्हा खानदान इकट्ठे! हमेशा की तरह बहुत सारी हंसी-मज़ाक, खाने-पीने, गाने-बजाने के साथ! (puuraa SiNhaa khaaNDaaN ikatthe! hamesaa kii Tarah bahuT Saarii haNSii-mazaak, khaaNe-piiNe, gaaNe-bajaaNe ke SaaTH!) |
