English Is A Funny Language, Amitabh Bachchan Proves Again With Hilarious Tweet

Almost four decades after regaling the audience with his hilarious "English is a funny language" monologue in Namak Halaal, Amitabh Bachchan has proved this point yet again. In a tweet posted this morning, Mr Bachchan, in his usual witty style, elucidated on the efficacy of Hindi as a language over English.

Explaining how a long, wordy sentence in English could be condensed into a succinct one word in Hindi, Mr Bachchan wrote: "Just look at the efficacy of the Hindi language:

(In English)

I am sorry, I can not hear you properly, can you please repeat what is the matter?

(In Hindi)

Hain (huh)"

T 3054 -
Just look at the efficacy of the Hindi language:

(In English)

I am sorry, I can not hear you properly, can you please repeat what is the matter ?

(In Hindi)

हैं......

Who can deny, in the face of such a brilliant example, that Hindi is definitely a more efficient language? The simple "hain", after all, can be used to express a range of emotions from confusion to wonder to anger.

Since being shared online, Mr Bachchan's tweet has collected over 12,000 'likes' along with hundreds of comments.

And a few users pointed out that English, too, has a stand-in word for the versatile hain.

Only 'pardon' would do in english!!
