Another common Indian word is prepone, the opposite of postpone.
I have never come across the "where" example.
The article misses out on many common usages, and cites some rather unremarkable ones.
- dkdbejwi383 1y agoIf postpone is to delay until later, and prepone is to bring forwards, can one peripone something (for it to be happening now)?
- sidchilling 1y agoI agree. The articles misses some really good ones, - prepone, max-to-max (ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा), scanner (for payment QR-codes)
- devnull3 1y agoPrepone is now a word in Cambridge dictionary [1]. It acknowledges the origin to India. [1] https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/prepone https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/prepone
