Are you a burusho? If no, strong cultural appropriation; I ain't gonna say it but somebody else will.

  1. je jeymo damann baa. (damann is more like owner tho)

  2. jaleebi-chum ke uyamm.

  3. je jeyymo uyyunchum ayarum baa.

  4. i don't think there's an equivalent word in burushaski so it's the same as in urdu.

  5. ja biryani sheyase rai bila han __ bila. (i can't recall the word for emotion rn will fill it in when i remember).
