Stop Making These 5 Punjabi Mistakes If you want to speak Punjabi naturally [216]

The first mistake we will talk about the word apa and asi, you know.

So I also talked about these words before.

Maybe you can search my podcast.

I don't know when, maybe two years ago.

So when I describe these two words, the differences, you know.

If you wanna go into more detail, make sure you, uh, listen to my, that, uh, podcast, all right? So anyway, I'm also gonna explain, uh, in, in brief here as well.

First of all, before I explain this, so this mistake Punjabi people make a lot, especially the Punjabi people.

Uh, so when I say Punjabi people, so it's not mean the Punjabi people from Punjab who grew up here, you know.

We don't make these kind of mistake.

I mean the Punjabi people, the Punjabi ethnicity people who, who were in Western country, you know.

Um, it's a big problem among them because I've been teaching, I think now almost six year or five years, so I noticed this big, big thing, you know.

When they use apa and asi so bad, all right? So first of all, the difference between apa and asi is, so when would you use asi? Asi and apa both mean a we, all right? It both word mean a we.

But in Punjabi, there's a little difference when you speak in Punjabi.

S- and most of the people use apa, all right? They don't use asi, you know.

You, you need to use asi a lot as well, all right? So when we use, uh, apa and asi, so I would use apa, all right? Let's say me and my friend went to watch a football game, you know.

So we went to watch a football game, uh, it's maybe yesterday or last week, you know.

Now, now I'm talking to my friend what we did or whatever.

I would use apa, like apa All right, last week.

Now I'm telling you the story.

Now you, you are the third person.

You didn't go with us, you know? So you are asking me or maybe I'm telling you the story what I did with my friend, uh, last week or that time we use "assi." Like, "Assi match dekhne gaye.

Assi bahut enjoy kita." So I would use an "assi" to you because you are the third person.

So basically, when, uh, if you are speaking Punjabi, all right? Now let's, let's, uh, take example of you, all right? If you're listening it.

So let's say you go with your friend anyway.

Maybe you went on the party, you know, last week or la- or yesterday.
