Lynn lots of the words on here I never heard or maybe I was oblivious when the older folks talked ….since I was/is an only child I was always sent to play or do work when dem big ppl a talk

My mom’s vocab was different..my nani came from India so that is why so mant hindi or bhojpuri words were used in our home!!

honestly i never used the Eng words for many things until I started high sch..lol

‘go jarray d mats’ since my mom said it..all my older siblings said the same thing

”change d chaddar”

”wash d bhartan”

my mom never said shoes..it was always joota
