SASSY HYDERABADI SLANG

SASSY HYDERABADI SLANG

HUM AISEICH BOLTE!

(WE WILL TALK JUST LIKE THAT)

Hey everyone! 

Ramadan is about to begin soon and I personally enjoy one full month of this festival a lot because I am a Hyderabadi! So, that's why I wanted to write something that would depict the essence of Hyderabad. And to do that, I have decided to write about it's lingo(language/dialect).

Ever heard of a language and found it funny, sassy and cute at the same time? Well, Hyderabadi slang(old city slang) is one such language.

Being a Hyderabadi we get used to speaking and understanding multiple languages like telugu, urdu, hindi and pakka Hyderabadi slang. Urdu is a little different from Hyderabadi slang lanuage. Urdu holds a great poetic charm and is a very respectful language. Whereas, the Hyderabadi slang is a blend of hindi and Urdu with some modifications that make it sound extremely sassy, funny, cheerful and cool at the same time!

In this blog-post, we are going to learn new words and if you already know them, then I am sure that they will definitely make you smile or laugh!

Tip: If you already know Hyderabadi then directly jump to point no. 5 and from there read only Highlighted words, you can envision a funny conversation of two people! Hope, you would enjoy the experience! So, let's begin!
