   Estel:

   Hey this is great! Are these words used very often?
   And could you please transcribe them into the Devanagari alphabet? Then it’s easier for me to know how to pronounce them

     Nitin Kumar:

     @Estel Namaste Estel,
     Thanks for the suggestion 🙂 I’ll insert Devanagari spellings of the words.
     Regards,
     Nitin

       @Nitin Kumar Hi Nitin,

       Years ago I was very familiar with Indian slang and words. I’ve been trying to remember the slang term for Guru. I know it ended in -ji can you help? Please.

       Thanks,
       ~Lisa

         Nitin Kumar:

         @Lisa Hi Lisa,
         the suffix “ji” is added to show respect.
         Maybe your are looking for Babaji, masterji, sadhuji or yogiji.
         All could mean Guru in some way or another.

   Hello Nitin,
   First of all I need slang versions of widely spread word.
   If we talk about the verbs something that describes everyday activity:
   eat, drink, dance, etc. I am also very interested in slang words which are used for desribing human’s appearance. That’s not all, but everything I can remember at the moment. I do realy need your help in this activity, and I am very grateful for your answer. By the way, could you find me in the Facebook https://www.facebook.com/marmazelik – link (Dmitriy Usov)

   Thanks for this website. What would be an affectionate term that a parent might use for their kids that’s something like ‘hell-raiser’ or ‘devil’. In the U.S., of course, a loving but exasperated parent would say “My kid is such a hell-raiser!”

   Is there a Hindu equivalent? Or an American-Hindu equivalent?

   I’m writing a story and this term would be coming from the mouth of a Hindu father who had emigrated to the U.S. and is raising his family in New York City. He would be referring to his two teenage sons.

   Thanks!

     @Grant Namaste Grant,

     In Hindi (the language of majority in India), the parents quite often refer their child, शैतान (Shetaan – Devil).
     Example, मेरा बेटा बड़ा शैतान है। (Mera beta bada shetaan hai – My son is a little devil.)

     Hope this help!
