| John: Meaning - "Shopping freely with sister is another level of fun!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| John: Listen again to मीरा (miiraa)'s post. |
| Shakti: बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है! (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai!) |
| John: "Shopping freely with sister is another level of fun!" |
| Shakti: (SLOW) बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है! (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai!) (Regular) बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है! (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Shopping freely with your sister." |
| Shakti: बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करना (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNaa) |
| John: This expression literally means “to shop with your sister” or “shopping with your sister." The word… |
| Shakti: biNDaaS |
| John: ...is a colloquial, slang word which means "completely freely." Listen again - "Shopping freely with your sister" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करना (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNaa) (REGULAR) बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करना (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNaa) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Doing something is another level of fun." |
| Shakti: करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है (karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai) |
| John: This phrase starts with… |
| Shakti: karNa kaa mazaa |
| John: which means “the fun of doing something." The entire expression is... |
| Shakti: ... kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai |
| John: It’s a common expression to describe something that is more satisfying or fun than most activities. When you do something beyond the ordinary level of fun or satisfaction, you can use the word… |
| Shakti: kuch aur hai |
| John: This literally means “is something else.” This is like “next level” or “a whole other level” in colloquial English. Listen again - "Doing something is another level of fun" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है (karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai) (REGULAR) करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है (karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai) |
| John: Altogether, "Shopping freely with sister is another level of fun!" |
| Shakti: बहिन के साथ बिंदास शॉपिंग करने का मज़ा ही कुछ और है! (bahiN ke SaaTH biNDaaS saupiNg karNe kaa mazaa hii kuch aur hai!) |
