The phrase is composed of ma (I), timilai (you with the object marker), chumban (kiss), garna (to do) and chahanchhu (want).
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
Replacing timilai with tapailai makes the phrase more polite or formal, although such a direct expression is rarely used in formal settings.
How does it change in a sentence?
The verb chahanchhu (want) is in the first-person singular present tense, which matches the subject ma (I).
How do you pronounce it?
ma timilai chumban garna chahanchhu
Did you know?
- While chumban is the formal word for 'kiss', in casual conversation, Nepalis often use the English word 'kiss' integrated into the sentence, such as kiss garna chahanchhu.
- Using the formal tapailai in this phrase creates a linguistic paradox by combining high-level social respect with a highly intimate request.
- The formal word chumban is derived from an ancient Sanskrit root meaning 'pressing'.
