Who would have known that the Greek word I've been using for "box" is an insult in Urdu😬

I got some weird looks but okay 😅 Not using it again then.

@SW-User what does "air" mean?
SW-User
@eMortal It means nothing in moroccan or standard arabic

If you're talking lebanese or khaliji then it's a derogatory term for a male's genitals but the first letter is pronounced heavily (ع) not exactly like a simple A. No letter is equivalent to ع in English

Sorry you went thru that but glad you figured it out.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Mindful hahaha it's fine it was evident that I wasn't doing it on purpose, but I can imagine hearing an insulting word in their own language might have been confusing 😂
😅 Happens 😂
@HannibalAteMeOut Gosh... what's the sentence you used it in? 🤭
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Vivaci just something like "Where should I put this box if they want to keep it?" hahaha now I'm wondering if any of the other words sounded weird as well 😅
@HannibalAteMeOut oh shucks!....😅😅😅😅😆😆😆😆

You're sweet.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Coppercoil you too!
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@TheGoodGuy kouti is one way to say it, but kouta is another and apparently kouta is the guilty one 😂

A better question might be who would have cared?
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@RedBaron some people from Pakistan who I was supposed to communicate with
Mindful · 56-60, F
@RedBaron yikes! What kind of attitude is that?
RedBaron · M
@Mindful Yikes!
