words by topic - Namaste!!

Hi everyone! This post is for everyone that wants to contribute to it. The idea here is to avoid using too much space and having to go through all te posts looking for words. What we want is to post vocabulary words by topics. everyone can help us out with it... all you need to do is pick a topic and post the words and translations, and if u see that someone made a mistake, send them a private message so that person can correct it and we wont be using too much space.

Hopefully this will be an easier way for us all to learn.

hope you all like the idea. You can see some of the posible topics at the post "a different approach", and if you come up with more ideas about the possible topics you can post them there. I found a good on line dictionary for us all to use,
www.shabdkosh.com
www.wordanywhere.com
in these 2 you can see the results also in devanagari script so that way we can learn how its written too.

those are the 2 that i usually use, and where i m trying to find the translations, you can all help trying to look for words by yourselves.

If there s someone that s willing to help us out and watch out for posible corrections it would be great... and i hope that yoon will help us here too.

see you all soon everyone!!!

tahnks yoon :D u r right, we can t know all u have or you dont have, hahaha, but i ve taken away the word subway anyway.
as for younger brother or sister, I think it s just to know whether its younger or older, coz I think everywhere we just go for bro or sis, or by their names, but when we talk about them we say whether they r younger or older sometimes, don t you think? ;)

And Yoon... i t s really great to have you here so that you can correct the mistakes, really.... bahut dhanyavaad yoon!!! :D:):)

lol actually,when one has to say about his/her younger brother or sister then one says chota bhai/chotee behan but when u r directly talking to him/her u dont use chta/chotee u say it right away or u use the name or him/her
and for the other part....as far as the subway is concrened hahaha sorry but we dont have subways out here....thats one of the reasons for the huge traffic jams we have,u guys may not be familiar to it

Thanks for the corrections, enigmatic beauty.

Edit: I'm so used to the mask/fem-thing that I forgot it is probably only used in germany. Sorry for that. I added m/f because I read that some adjectives change with the gender of the noun. That's why I think the gender is quite important.
