Ka ktien "kur" toh hawa khut næ pah ïa yi ïa yi, khamtaam hawa khut syiar, kam wa jooh ong i "kur kur". Ka ktien "wan" mut wada lai tæ wan biang. Ka ktien "kurwan" man kam wa khut biang ïa iwon iwon i iwa da laai yo'u man biang i jooh i rakom man kamwa dang dæp. Da'i wa ong kurwan man kam wa pynstiñ ya i man i long wa khia ha i tu por wa dang dap jia won iwon hawa khyrngiat næ phylla.
Ka ktien "kur" ka dei kaba khot ne wer, kum haba khot syiar ngi ong "kur kur". Hangne ka ktien "wan" ka thew ïa kaei kaei kaba leit tangba kaba la wan biang. Ka ktien "Kurwan" ka long kum ban khot biang ïa ka jinglong jingman kaba la dep, ban oh ïa ka jinglong jai jai. Da kaba ong kurwan ka pynsting ïa ka jingkhia jong kano kano ka jingjia kaba dang jia shen shen haba kyndit ne phylla.
The word "kur" is used when we call out to something, like when we call out to chicken we say "kur kur". In the context of "kurwan" the word "wan" refers to something that has gone but has come back again. The Pnar word "Kurwan" is used in order to recall or retrieve a moment which has gone, so that one feels calm and tranquil again. When the word "kurwan" is used, it is meant to lighten the effect of something that has happened, which caused shock or wonder.
Ka ktien "kurwan" ka dei ka ktien kaba don ha ka ïa ka jingmut kaba pher bad la pyndonkam ïa ka ban thew ïa ka jingsngew kaba kyrpang. Ka pher na ka jingmut jong "kyndit" (Khasi) bad "khyrngiat" (Pnar). 😯😨😲😮
The word "kurwan" has a specific meaning and usage. Its meaning is different from the Khasi word "kyndit" and the Pnar word "khyrngiat". 😦😧😱😯

Kane ka dei ka jingjia kaba shisha kaba jia la kham mynshuwa ïa i Mei jong ngi haba i dang leit skul. Ka dang dei ruh ka por haba ki nonghikai ki hikai beit da ka ktien Khasi ha skul. Ka pher ka rukom kren bad ka rukom shah mai de ha kito ki sngi.
La don ki khynnah kiba shong shadien ha ka klas bad ki bunktien bunnia bha haduh ba ita i nonghikai i lah sngew wit. Ha ka jingdom i la ong kumne: "Kitei kiba shong shadien! Ki mawsiang bymman, phi leh aïu!?"
Tharai ngi sngew khor haba ïohsngew nyngkong tangba ka dei kaba sngew biria ruh ka rukom mai. Ka ktien "mawsiang" ruh ka ïa hap bha namar ka thew ïa ka jinglong tlew tlew bym suidñiew jong kita ki khynnah.
Ka rukom mai ka dei kawei hi ka sap ha kaba da ngi nang ban pynshong bha ki kyntien, kata ka jingsneng jingkraw jong ngi kan ktah bad neh ha ka jingmut jingpyrkhat jong ki khynnah, bad wanrah ïa ka jingbha.
This is a real event which happened to my mother when she was in school. It was a time when teachers still taught in the Khasi language. They way Khasi was spoken and expressed was different back then, which is apparent in the way they scolded their students.
There were a group of talkative students who sat at the back of the class. One day when the teacher became angry with them, she said: "Those sitting at the back! Those sullen wicked boulders, what are you doing?!"
It might sound harsh when we hear it for the first time but it is also a funny and sarcastic way of scolding someone. The word "mawsiang" or boulder suits the situation well and is a humorous metaphor because of the indifference and uncaring attitude of the students.
These are stories we hear from our parents or grandparents that we will never get to experience in our schools 😅😂😂
