    It was asked about how the Khasi word "sahnud" could be translated into English. Turns out, we cannot use only one word to explain the meaning of "sahnud". A couple of other words have to be used to explain the meaning and use of "sahnud".

    Thank you to all who helped to explain the meaning of the word! 🙏😄
