Ma Nishma! (what's up?)


"Ma Nishma" doesn't mean "what's up?"


try again

I wasn't referring to its literal meaning, which is "what is heard". Ma Nishma is mostly used in an informal setting, and idiomatically, it translates into "what's up", which is a casual variation on "how are you?". In a more formal setting, one would say Ma Shlomcha, which would be "How are you?" Literally it would be "What's your peace?"

First "what's up?" does not equal "how are you?" these are two different greetings with different meanings. "Ma Nishma?" and "Ma Shlomcha?" are equivalent to "How do you do?" and "how are you?" which are greetings which show interest in the well being of greeted person, it's just that "how do you do?" is more of a detached formal expression which doesn't require a response (just like "ma nishma"), but "how are you?" is more personal and usually a more detailed response is expected (just like "ma shlomcha").

Sawaddee Krub / Ka'

boys say Krub
girls say Ka'

Krub / Ka' will make you looked more and very polite to Thai people.

Hmm, I don't think you understood what I said (I was making fun of the Norwegian language).

Ha, yeah my swedish is lacking. I thought you were saying something about how the norwegians make fun of the swedes who come to their country or something along those lines...
