The meaning of word for wife in several languages

The  meaning  of word  for wife in   several languages

 

By

P.R.Ramachander

(I read a similar  write up   about wife  in tamil-I am indebted to it)

 


She is  the  soul of the house (manai in tamil) ,

And so   she is called Manaivi (Wife –Tamil)

 

She  is your  constant  companion help(thunai in tamil)   all your life

And so she  is called  Thunaivi (wife-Tamil)

 

She  is the  head  of our  home(aam in tamil)

And so she  is called   AAthukari(wife- tamil)

 

Like  B following  A , she will follow  you,

And so she  in Bibi  (Wife-Hindi)

 

She  is the  thing that we get  , out of

Our  marriage (pelli in telugu)   and so she is Pellam (Wife Telugu)

 

She  adds  auspiciousness(sri)   to,

The intelligent(mathi)  man-So she  is Srimathi( Wife nepaleese)

 

She    is  the  lady(hennu)   following  you,

All your life , she is Hendathi( Wife in Kannada)

 

She  is calling(vaa)   her  gentleman near her,

And so she is Bharya ( Wife –Malayalam)

 

She always  asks  her husband  to give his ears(kaan)

And so she    is Kantha   (Wife-Marathi)

 

She makes  husband  fall for her(pad)  ,

And so she  is Pathni  (wife-Gujarathi)

 

She  maked  her husnand  , bow ,

Like  a bow  and she is Bau(  Wife  -Bengali)

 

She  helps  husband  follow  Dharma

And so she is Saha Dharmini (Wife  Sanskrit)

 

She  is merged  with her husband  ,

Like  a Wifi   and hence  she is his wife ,

And without her (wifi) , he  does not work
