If you could, please format it
WORD, DEFINITION
I want to add them to a flashcard deck for myself, I casually collect loanwords and have been getting turned on to trying out csv/flashcards lately haha
Feel free to do the same, if the format is followed you can just copy and paste it to a new line of the csv deck
From Urdu.
Jhoota: adjective referring to food, drink, or an eating utensil from which someone has already eaten or drunk.
Jhoota in other contexts means liar.
Eating jhoota is often avoided due to concepts of hygiene or social custom, although sharing is common among family/close friends.
It weird that Muslims are very preachy about breaking bread together but also have this concept.
It is of particular importance bc Muslims aren’t allowed to eat from utensils that a nonmulim ate.
So its this tainted leftover food which is the precise definition ig.
I mean, that’s not a uniquely Muslim concept. I think that’s pretty universal, although we don’t have a word for the concept in English. It’s just considered unhygienic.
Unless you mean to say that when someone has used a utensil it is permanently tainted.
