You know when....
Inspired from funspume's post.
Scenario 1
2 guys are fighting. Both are Pakis. And then there is Jihad – supposedly War for peace. (how antithetical) That’s Kashmir.
Scenario 2
Two guys are fighting and a third guy comes along & tries to make peace. The first two get together & beat him up. That's Delhi.
Scenario 3
Two guys are fighting. Both of them take time out and call their friends on mobile. Now 50 guys are fighting. You are definitely in Haryana.
Scenario 4
2 guys are fighting over a girl. One is the ghost of the other. Then we find Amol Palekar is directing the film. Well… That’s Rajasthan.
Scenario 5
Two guys are fighting. A crowd gathers to watch. A guy comes along and opens a Snake-bar (to be read as Snack-bar). That's Gujarat – Land of the Patels.
Scenario 6
Two guys are fighting and finally two polictical parties are fighting. A big scam ensues. Babua, you are definitely in Bihar.
Scenario 7
2 guys are fighting in the jungle. The naxalites jump in. The police are summoned. The Bangladeshis infiltrate. The Border Security Force jump in. Soon we don’t know what they all are fighting for. That’s Arunachal and all North-Eastern States.
Scenario 8
Two guys are fighting and a third guy comes along, then a fourth and they start arguing about who's right. Babumoshai!!! You are in Kolkata.
Scenario 9
2 guys are fighting. Cyclones hit the state. They seek for relief from the Centre. Peace prevails. That’s Orissa…
Scenario 10
Two guys are fighting and a third guy comes along, sees them and walks on. That's Mumbai meri jaan.
Scenario 11
2 guys are fighting. Chandra Babu resolves the issue by distributing laptops and satellite phones to all the farmers. The matter is resolved. Peace prevails. Tammudu, that’s Andhra Pradesh for you.
Scenario 12
Two guys are fighting and a third guy comes he writes a software program to stop the fight. But the fight doesn't stop b'cos of a bug in the program. That's Bangalore- Silicon Valley.
Scenario 13
Two guys are fighting. A crowd gathers to watch. A guy comes along and says that "AMMA" doesn't like all this nonsense. Peace prevails. Anna, that's Chennai.
Scenario 14
Two guys are fighting. Soon they hire a boat and head to Dubai with the whole village. That’s Kerala, thambi.
And yeah finally… :)
Scenario 15
2 guys are fighting. Chintu comes along. He tells Asha. Asha tells her father Jadhav Kaka. They discuss it over tea at the society meeting. And soon it’s the talk of the neighborhood. Finally, Joshi Kaku intervenes and resolves the issue. They all head to Vaishali for onion uttappa. That’s Amchi Pune!!!

wht is this tag?
amchi pune nahi re. Aapale Pune!!
Sushrut, jau det!! kuthun tari uchalun kahitari lihito, and looks like a non-maharastrian's mind!!! Amchi Pune mhane, are Punyacha abhiman asel tar neet Marathit lihi ki dumbo!!;)
and once and for all for the records....
Amhi = we not including the person you are talking to!
Apan = wwe including the person you are talking to!!!!!
@Ups - serioulsy i want someone to fight now. yumm yumm..
@Adarsh - Even i'm trying to find out what tagging is... :-)
@Sir - ajibat maazu naka. Amchi Pune is perfectly fine. similar to Amchi mumbai.
@Dumbo - mi tar sangtoy ghari ja saral. This blog is targetted to everyone in India. Makes no sense writing in Marathi. Ani Punchyacha abhimaan dakhavnyasathi don vakya kami aahet. I'll dedicate a whole blog to it. And amhi 'n apan really doesn't come into the picture here. kahi zale ki he don shabd kaadtat loke. X-(
"Amchi Pune is perfectly fine. similar to Amchi mumbai."
"And amhi 'n apan really doesn't come into the picture here."
Madhura, kase honar yache??? #:-s
(PS: "..kuthun tari uchalun kahitari lihito.." LOL!!)
GAWD!! Sushrut...!! poor prak..i cant wait to see his reply on the new comment..:)..
but then u kno i do feel too Marathi gets too confusing at times..so guess somethings ought to b alloweded..!!
Upasna
also why cant we say amchi Pune??
Ups.........coz Pune isn't feminine, it's it! whereas Mumbai IS feminine as in one can say Ti Mumbai but its Te Pune!!
And yeah, Marathis is confusing to say the least! But Dumbo, you are Marathi you know for all practical purposes, so high time you properly start taking classes from me ;)
And isn't it perfectly Puneri, two of us are fighting ad soon we shall get everyone to discuss the matter and resolve the issue collectively!! How Apt!! ;)
And dumbo please mala maaz allowed ahe :(
@Ups, Mads 'n Sir -
Its okie if you know the gender of stupid inanimate objects in one language. But, learning gender of the same object in 3 or more languages is pretty cumbersome.
For eg.
Computadora (español, latin America) - Feminino
Ordernador (español, Spain) - Masculino
K(C)omputer (Deutsch) - Maskulinum.
Marathi - God knows what it is!!
The list could go on. but these are the langauges I need to keep track of.
And even if we go with your logic dumbo, why do two places have different genders?? Why is Mumbai feminine and Pune, neuter gender. In fact, the female:male sex-ratio of Pune is 5% more than mumbai.
I conclude English (inglés) is perfectly perfect (oh how repetitive!!). No genders for inanimate objects. And surely makes a lot sense too. So for all 'practical' purposes, henceforth I'm freely going to use any gender for inanimate objects.
I rest my case.
Ani dumbo... maaz perfectly allowed aahe. When sir 'n shaan can maaz such a lot, then... yada yada...
okie now tht 2 punekars fought! lets go hv onion Uttapam in Vaishali!!:)))
Prak, "When sir 'n shaan can maaz such a lot, then... "
ata mi kay kele?
anyway I appreciate ur on-going effort to follow all those languages and so u are spared for making some mistakes in Marathi.
huh! Dumbo, you need some serious counselling (not consulting ;) ) and training....wll lets take this offline!!;)
I guess that
"Two guys are fighting when Nene comes out of the neighbouring vada and points to the 'He Nenyancha ghar aahe. Ghara samor kontyahi prakarchi gardi kiwwa awaj karu naye' sign"
would also apply to aple Pune na!
I heard a version where, a family comes out to the fighting duo holding a sign, "Amchya Ghara samor bhandu naka, shezarchya ghari samor zaon bhanda"... thats Pune!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)))
@Dumbo - Why take it offline??? When I gave a good justification of my situation.. X-(
@Ashutosh & Schrodinger - I loved both your versions. In fact, i'll add a link to my website where folks can submit their own versions. That would be my next post. :-)
@Bapatanu - Typo - Its ruckus not rukus. About me being devoid of ideas - See this blog has triggered so many more ideas and virtues. So think twice before commenting ;)
@consu - kay zale???
Infact had this been a fwd..it wud hv had responses too!
Join any software sompany and u wud kno tht :)
and of late someone told me tht blogs cut a lot of distances..hence..the responses here r out of interest, and not cos ppl r diff/trying to b diff; it doesnt matter whether it is a virtue or not..infact u cant classify everythin as a virtue and a vice...:)
Actually, the correct way of saying it is Amche Pune. I did not make that up. Go ask Pu La Deshpande - maybe he made it up.
And in Pune, the scenario is usually like this.
Two guys start fighting.
A small crowd gathers and in seconds a gentleman comes along (or lady) and shouts at the two chumps who are fighting. He says, "Go fight in front of someone else's house, not mine." And the fight breaks up. If it is a lady doing the screaming, it might be "Melyanno, ajoon koNacha ghar miLala nahi? Majhayach gharasamor bhanDayachay? FuTa ata ithoon."
Amche Pune as in Amche Gove (Goa).
Prakash, who said there are no assigned genders to inanimate objects in English? Ever heard a sailor refer to his ship? She may be a supertanker carrying 100,000 gallons of crude, but she's always a she. A guy's bike is always a she. A computer is always a he. e.g. My computer. He's such a bastard.
And if you want to speak a language, you must learn the genders associated with objects within it.
Interestingly, if you give a Google search for 'Amche Pune', it asks you, 'Did you mean 'Amchi Pune' '? :))
Yes, well, google is not exactly literate. It is a fleet, an astoundingly, mindbogglingly massive fleet of trained parrots.
