by the way, what is the meaning of word Zimin???? I always heard people calling Zimin Ziro....is it for green colour????
ReplyDeleteI don't think the word Zimin, per se, has any meaning. We have expressions like aya-jija, yakho-yalo, kahe-tabe, jie-kiini, and so on. There is no meanings of 'jija', 'yalo', 'tabe' and 'kiini' in the contexts they are used here. Nevertheless, they add additional meaning and beauty to the expressions.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I would be most interested if anybody has any idea if "Zimin' has any other meaning!
wow. i was right all along. some time back, an adi friend of mine asked me what 'zimin ziro' stands for?
ReplyDeletedid he catch me off-guard? All I said was, well.., it loosely means 'our ziro' ;)
