    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! 🙏😄

    The Pnar word "Khaisap" does not have a Khasi equivalent 😄

    Hopefully the explication given is clear and satisfactory. If you want to add more to understanding the word, please mention it in the comments section.

    "Amar dumma para khie…" may be described as a Khasi nonsense rhyme that was recited to play a children's game. It was said with glee and anticipation of what would happen at the end of it.

    The slides that have been posted show the different versions of the song that we remember 😃😃

    Living in a place which holds the record for the wettest place in the world has led to the Khasi language having names for different kinds of rain and phrases or idioms about rain 😄🌧️❤️
