This is a fine example of "chit bhi meri, pat bhi meri" which in Hindi translates to "heads I win, tails I win".
- fluoridation 1y agoThat saying exists in English, with a (in my opinion) more pleasing phrasing: heads, I win; tails, you lose.
- tene80i 1y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted – this is a perfectly interesting fact. Presumably the words "chit" and "pat" don't literally mean "heads" and "tails", though, even if they correspond to those sides? If not, what do they mean?
- rahilsheikh 1y ago"chit" is derived from "chitra" which means "picture". It translates to face side. "pat" has the same origins as "sapaat" which means "flat"/"plane". So it IS the heads/tails analogue for Hindi and Urdu.
