| POST |
| John: Listen again to अमन (amaN)'s post. |
| Shakti: घर में बैठे बैठे काफ़ी पक गया हूँ। (ghar mein baithe baithe kaafii pak gayaa huun.) |
| John: "Have gotten quite bored, sitting around at home." |
| Shakti: (SLOW) घर में बैठे बैठे काफ़ी पक गया हूँ। (ghar mein baithe baithe kaafii pak gayaa huun.) (Regular) घर में बैठे बैठे काफ़ी पक गया हूँ। (ghar mein baithe baithe kaafii pak gayaa huun.) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Sitting around at home." |
| Shakti: घर में बैठे बैठे (ghar mein baithe baithe) |
| John: The last word, |
| Shakti: baithe |
| John: is repeated twice. It means 'while being seated.' The repetition makes it out to be a continuous and prolonged action, so… |
| Shakti: baithe baithe |
| John: ...means “sitting around for a long time.” In essence, this means “to be unoccupied.” Listen again - "Sitting around at home" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) घर में बैठे बैठे (ghar mein baithe baithe) (REGULAR) घर में बैठे बैठे (ghar mein baithe baithe) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Have gotten quite bored." |
| Shakti: काफ़ी पक गया हूँ (kaafii pak gayaa huun) |
| John: There is a cooking term which refers to food being boiled. |
| Shakti: pakNaa. |
| John: This has become a common slang word for being bored or boring someone. So the word… |
| Shakti: pak gayaa |
| John: means “got thoroughly bored." Similarly, you can tell a friend… |
| Shakti: pakaa maT |
| John: which means “don't bore me with this.” Listen again - "Have gotten quite bored" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) काफ़ी पक गया हूँ (kaafii pak gayaa huun) (REGULAR) काफ़ी पक गया हूँ (kaafii pak gayaa huun) |
| John: Altogether, "Have gotten quite bored, sitting around at home." |
| Shakti: घर में बैठे बैठे काफ़ी पक गया हूँ। (ghar mein baithe baithe kaafii pak gayaa huun.) |
