- When referring to a 'suit', a Punjabi speaker might say ਪੈਂਟ ਕੋਟ to specifically mean a matching pair of trousers and a jacket.
- In rural Punjab, traditional male leg-wear like the ਚਾਦਰਾ is a wrapped cloth rather than sewn pants, making the concept of ਪੈਂਟ a relatively modern addition to the wardrobe.
- Punjabi uses the word ਪੈਂਟ as a masculine noun, which affects how adjectives describing the color or fit of the pants are conjugated in a sentence.
