what do we call amanet in english

[TrueEye]

mclarendillon

LOL! well thats why i said

trustee would more specifically be a person whom you entrust with something :p

as per the definition that you provided, it is used more often as a noun than a verb (4:1) :d

and secondly as the word trustee ends up with "ee" as a suffix, just like employee, lessee etc. etc. so automatically your mind takes it as a someone (i.e. a noun) rather than an activity ( verb)

@ TE
..now see what i wrote first..

not sure if they have precisely the same meanings as we do but i think trustee can be used somewhat...

:p.. it meant that the word should use with some tactful combination not just like that where it can be misconstrued..

.. :d

oh yaar mujhay bhi ek do word poochnay hain...:-)

Noor ko english mein kya bolte hain?
Jamun(fruit) ko english mein kya bolte hain?
Jinn ko english mein kya bolte hain?

[TrueEye]

noor would be light

jaman would either be black current or black berry, i guess

and jinn would be Jinn in english too, although you may call them spirits or ghosts etc.

having said that, now who would tell me what a "Kinoo" (fruit i.e.) is called in english? i know it but just want to test you guys' knowledge :d

There is no exact English word that directly translates into amaanat. As Nauman has mentioned, Trustee is the one holding the amaanat; it does not mean amaanat itself.

Jaman is a local fruit. I don't think there is an English word for it either. Black berries and black currents are different fruits altogether.

All white, Kinoo maybe an Orange But do you know what a Maalta is called in english ?

[riz_]

Kino=Tangerine
Malta=Orange

[riz_]

What is Shahtoot?

[c123pk]

shahtoot, i dunno, why should i know ? between nice guess on maal-ta, its an orange

[riz_]

Shahtoot=Mulberry

There is a nursery here that sells Pakistani mulberry trees. The local ones are those little red berries; you have to eat a pound before you feel satisfied.

[toofast]

Pakistani mango idher naheen milta

[c123pk]

So shahtoot=Maal-bhurry.
Raspberry=Ras-bhurry.
Strawberry=Straw-bhurry.
Blackberry=Kaali-bhurry.

Thats how people call them here (Y) once when i was little some 25 years ago i went to a shop and asked the shopkeeper to give me a pack of raspberry Jelly, he said raspberry nahin beta russ-bharry kehte hain, hahahahaha hahahahah

[quotePakistani mango idher naheen milta[/quote]

I wonder why that is?

We get mangoes from Mexico, Peru and other South American countries. I know Pakistani mangoes are exported to Middle East in large quantities, why not the US?

[toofast]

@Riz
Good question. Americans are missing out on a great tasting fruit.

[ToofaneBatameezi]
