Chai okhra?

[toughpashtun]

In Pashto, the translation of 'drink tea' would be 'Chai oska'.
But some people (I think only in Afghanistan) say 'Chai okhra' , which is translated to 'eat tea'. Can anyone give me an insight on this?
Do they also say 'oba okhra' or 'rotai oska'?

What should we call pouched eggs in Pashto??

If you're talking about poached eggs,I must say I have never heard the term before, but looking at the images on Google , it seems somewhat similar in looks to what we call a fried egg.I know its not the same thing though of course.

[Baserka]

Yes, you are right. But those are not fried eggs even though they look similar to our fried eggs. Poached eggs are cracked first and then boiled. Hase scrambled eggs are also fried eggs..

I've heard people saying that. It's quite rare but some individuals do say that. It is not a common thing.

Maybe they wanted to eat the tea leaves raw.

Stop being so judgemental.

[Shapur]

Never heard people say this unless by mistake or if they are non pashtun speaking pashto.

Some people might say "chai okhro" when they refer to a breakfast meal which might contain other solid foods like jam etc and not just tea by itself.

I heard it on an Afghan TV Channel.And have heard a fellow Pakistani Pakhtun comment the same that some Afghans use this term.

Its a joke. No one actually eats tea leaves raw. I was pretending like they probably wanted to, and you shouldn't be judgemental just because they eat tea leaves.

What if they said 'Chai Khori'? It means teaspoon or something.

Yup. I have heard people say this. Some people call breakfast as "Chai." When they say "Chai okhrai" they are talking about breakfast but is they say "wachaka" then they are talking about a cup of tea.

I have heard it but i dont recall where....

[salman47]

Ok so my friend used 'Chey Khoram', i think it is fine. Likewise, in English you can say 'eat soup'
