In the Nawab Family there are certain words or phrases from old Urdu which are still being used.
Although many in the Urdu speaking world don't use those words any more.
For instance, we say 'jhari'(old Urdu word for rain) instead of 'baarish'. We say 'bechona'(old Urdu word for bed) instead of 'bistar'. Or when we say 'chedda paisa' or 'kana cori' (we refer to an old coin with a hole in it called a Cori).
For instance, we say 'kaleja ka tukra' (a piece of my liver) to our dear ones, meaning they are like our liver we can't survive without them as we couldn't with out our liver.
Do you remember any old words(not derogatory remarks) that we still use subconsciously ?

'Baithak' in Urdu/Hindi means a meeting.
But of late it has come to mean late night singing and Kashmiri chai drinking parties before a wedding or other family function.

Morabbi - is used to refer to the elders in the family. Am curious to know how this word came around.
"Khali" means sirf.

"Khansama" is still used to refer to household servants
