only in nepal is there a separate verb conjugation form for the king

PG, thought Britain also used "His Majesty", thank god the use of thou/thy blah blah is considered old. I don't like the use of those sophisticated Nepali words, eg "sarkar hajur bhuja junar gari bhaksiyos", sounds tooooooo pompus for my liking! Those obese royal family can be dethroned for all I care!

I got a good one, Only in Nepal do they spend millions of rupees to treat a women who fell ill coz she ate toooo much food (heart problem due to overeating and no exercise) while people in the village die coz they do not have Rs. 5 to buy jeevan jal. (Source: Nepali newspaper)

I don't know if this has already gone, but here is one from me for Only in America..

Only in America is a Poojari bajey called a mantri and a real mantri a sachib !

yeah, meera, they do use "his/her majesty" in the uk, but they don't have an entirely separate verb form for the person! crazy...i know ta, timi, tapaai/hajur, but i don't know shree paach sarkar.......and i started a thread yesterday about that article from nepalnews regarding the royal family member being treated in the uk and the lack of jeevan jal in the villages. it died a quick death.

palpali_gaule, taruni haru ko ardha nagna taswir haru rakhera utpatyang comment haru diyeko baheye 'thread' nikai baliyo hunthyo hola

aba bhoka nanga janta le jeevan jal napayeko samachar ma kasko chaso hunchha ra yaha....' thread died a quick death' ta hune nai bhayo ni :)

only from Nepal do ppl think American Life rocks !! :)
