ਕੰਡੋਮ
The English phrase "condoms" is translated into Punjabi as ਕੰਡੋਮ.
Did you know?
- Because Punjabi is spoken in both India and Pakistan, the word ਕੰਡੋਮ is used in both countries, but the script changes from Gurmukhi in India to Shahmukhi in Pakistan.
- In many rural parts of Punjab, people may avoid using the specific word ਕੰਡੋਮ in polite conversation, often opting for more vague or euphemistic descriptions instead.
- The Punjabi script used for this word, Gurmukhi, is an abugida, meaning the vowel sounds are often embedded within the consonant characters themselves.
Examples in context
- ਕੀ ਇੱਥੇ ਕੰਡੋਮ ਮਿਲ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ?Kī ithē kandōm mil sakadē han?Can I get condoms here?
- ਉਸਨੇ ਕੰਡੋਮ ਦਾ ਪੈਕਟ ਖਰੀਦਿਆ।Usnē kandōm dā pakṭ kharidi'ā.He bought a pack of condoms.
- ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਲਈ ਕੰਡੋਮ ਦੀ ਵਰਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਰੂਰੀ ਹੈ।Surakhi'ā lalī kandōm dī vartōṁ zarūrī hai.Using condoms is important for safety.
