Kumail Nanjiani & Natalie Morales Teach You Urdu and Miami Spanish Slang | Vanity Fair

[@happyme9010]

"Normally a person who's physically sticky would not be attractive...but we value that" 😂

[@muhammadmujtaba1744]

Chikna doesn't mean sticky. It means smooth/oily.

[@yahya.muhammad.khan1]

It means slippery

[@maazkalim]

Both of the responses to your comment are accurate.. ...But, not by invalidating Mr Nanjiani's lexicon! Anybody who has enough of sound experience with not just every kind of oil but even cooking-oils knows very well that oils do tend to get sticky on lower temperatures.

[@umadbroyo2388]

Muhammad Mujtaba Actually it means both. It can be used as oily, slippery or sticky!

[@TheSandyKale]

There is a phrase Chikna Ghada (चिकना घडा) meaning slippery vessel, referring to a person who doesn't care about any criticism about their behaviour or doesn't listen to any advice. Chiknai (चिकनाई) means fat / grease . So in that sense fat (Chiknai) makes something or someone slippery. If we say उस बर्तन में बहुत चिकनाई हैं। Us bartan mein bahut chiknai hain. i.e. That vessel is very oily / greasy (and might be hard to clean).

It probably made her, even if she wasn't aware of it, think of the word "toupee" and her brain came up with "hat". Or how hats sit on the top of the head. Something like that.

[@osheebhai]

The reason they were able to figure out Topi and Pata probably has more to do with the fact that Urdu and Spanish have common roots. • Pata [Spanish] ~ pedal (on foot), paer (foot), pae (leg) ~ pedestrian, pedal etc. in English • Topi [Urdu] ~ toupee [English/French], tapa/tapon [Spanish] ~ top So, Urdu and Spanish have a bunch of similar words. • Room = kamra [Urdu], cámara [Spanish] ~ chamber • Table = mez [Urdu], mesa [Spanish] • Teeth = daant [Urdu], dientes [Spanish] ~ dentist • Rock = pathar [Urdu], piedra [Spanish] ~ Petra, petrify, Peter • Chest = seena [Urdu], seno [Spanish] Even the "cheez" Kumail mentions is related to cosa [Spanish] and chose [French].

YAYYYYYYYY PAKISTAN REPRESENT

[@Rumpum06]

To everyone who doesn't know, urdu is almost hindi, but the sanskrit/arabic/persian root words eliminated. So every indian/pakistani (desi) understands common urdu/hindi. It's not that deep

[@prairiehorse6168]

Yeah I understood most of it but some of the slang is definitely more Pakistani.

[@swagatmalla6634]

I'm Nepali and I understood word for word what he said.

[@soulcold1]

Just get your facts right. Urdu was made first and in Arabic script, sunskirt script and words were later adopted by Hindu nationals.

[@saadirfan7909]

Yeah hindi either,it's so shallow

[@towerfilmscanada867]

I love these vids. These two are wonderful!

[@oldtimes4474]

The fact is that 'Urdu' doesn't really have a lot of slang words. It's considered a language of elites (scholars/nobles), rich in poetry and literature, it was created by the Muslim (Turks, Persian, Afghan) Kings of India and Pakistan.

[@sirkhizer]

Umm, I disagree. Goto karachi and inner streets of North India and you will find the true native urdu dialects and slangs.

[@thinktank1987]

Ponka!

[@sirkhizer]

Andeel Ali alaat di maamay! Aaatang dedia boss 😃😂

[@masoodjalal1152]

There is always an informal Urdu.

[@masoodjalal1152]

@Ceptom most of informal urdu is Punjabi in disguise. All informal urdu slangs are punjabi slangs.

[@maha.1655]

I remember “Papi chulo” song 😂 it was a big hit in Pakistan.

[@20hazel14]

"Lose the fear in your eyes" 😂

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

I would be the same, really wanting to say it right, not wanting to offend!😂

[@lauraashleythomson3067]

This was simply delightful! They are effortlessly charming and everything they talked about was so interesting. Language is such a fun way to learn about other cultures 😊

[@ricksanchez5642]

Natalie was full blown Miami accent by the end of the video 😂😂😂

[@ricksanchez5642]

As a Miami native. This is on POINT 😂

[@sharonfieldstone]

They're so cute! This was a pleasure to watch

[@helpfulron]

Why does Kumail look like he just woke up in most of these videos recently?

[@SilentNinjaaa]

He's trying to bulk up for a new Marvel Pakistani super hero role. Paratha man!

[@helpfulron]

@@SilentNinjaaa That makes sense. He mentioned in on Hot Ones too. Thanks Captain.

[@talhatariqyuluqatdis]

@@helpfulron XD

[@ryashaum]

@@SilentNinjaaa Not a pakistani super hero

[@zafeerahmed2433]

Thank you Kumail, Urdu finally has a voice because of you!

[@Aamirkhan-dw7rx]

Just imagine kumail translate 'papi chulo' in hindi. It literally means ' bad guy, touch me!'😂.

[@dannybenhur6123]

More like Sinner Touch me...

[@dionnasdays]

i love how much kumail smiles with his eyes!

[@abep6901]

Interesting, the same expression exists in Persian. Put a hat on someone: کلاه سر کسی گذاشتن Cheez or چیز is definitely a Persian word in origin.

[@muhammadjalal2335]

Nice

[@EmiMakesIt]

“We’re really getting it!”- love Kumail’s enthusiasm 🤣💖

[@flavoredchin]

I love that Kumail uses Urdu intonation for Spanish, and Natalie uses a Spanish intonation for Urdu. Bilingual kid vibes.

[@Kayvon12321]

“Yeh Cheez” is also “One Thing” in Farsi.

[@manz007]

yeh means "this" and cheez means "thing"....its used as "thats it or thats that thing or exactly that thing"

[@razaalee9477]

Nanjiani looks like he's spent all night preparing for this and got no sleep. Look at his eyes.

[@iCandlelightCrusade]

3:27 Kumail's reaction was my reaction too (as someone who understands Hindi, which when spoken is very similar to Urdu). Maybe she was thinking along the lines of "toupee".

[@kuldeuec]

Correction, Chikna means ' slippery' ..not 'sticky' in Hindi/Urdu

[@sher646]

KK Stache oily*

[@chaos1226]

It means sticky not slippery bro

[@shambutt7970]

Chiknai... more or less oily and sticky....sticky in sense if you touch it its hard to take it off completely... like oil.

[@sohamdas]

@@shambutt7970 chikna means shiny/smooth, not oily.

[@sohamdas]

Chiknahat for example

[@wowicantgetausername]

She somewhat reminds me of the actress dascha polanco who plays “daya” in oitnb.

[@rehatbir.]

I can watch Kumail talk about Urdu slang all day lmaoo. Yeh Baat/cheez

[@kikilriki]

The accent in the e in "Dale" doesn't make sense. The è is used only in Catalonian language, not Spanish, if it had an accent it would be é, and no, "dale" doesn't have an accent in any way, doesn't make sense. And if it had, the strongest letter should be the a, not the é

[@communityplum]

Same w sagüesera 😪

[@anthonyp9591]

they probably wrote it that way so people don't read it as the english dale...I don't know

[@CarolinaRodriguez-mn7sx]

Chill karo

[@genghiskhan7691]

I'm surprised Kumail didn't tell her the Pakistani version of Dale. haha

[@faranfaran9014]

Simply said wao.. kumail acting in movies and on top of that live talk .. wao great man live long stay blessed
