Originally a hindi word used for a informal form of "let's go".

Now spread cross culturally used to mean anything from "okay", "yes", "no", "really?", "what??", "let's do it", "oh" etc.

May be used as a verbal fullstop. Can be used in most situations depending on intonation.

Will make you sound slightly fobby.

"Chal!"

2. "Did you know so and so is going out with so and so?"

"Chaallll?"

3. "Chal let's do it"

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
