Where have you been? Marwari Translation

You're waiting for someone at someplace or you've simply planned to meet up someone. The first thing you ask him/her on seeing them is 'Where have you been?' or 'Where did you go?' 

Let's see how you'd ask this question in Marwari.


"Where did you go?"


Translation

Informal
To him: Tu siddh gayo tho? or Tu khatte gayo tho?
To her: Tu siddh gayi thi? or Tu khatte gayi thi?

Respectful (common for both the genders)
Aap siddh gaya tha? or Aap khatte gaya tha?


Now let's look at another form of asking the same question.

"Where have you been?"

Translation

Informal
To him: Siddh jaane aariyo hai? or Khatte jaane aariyo hai?
To her: Siddh jaane aari hai? or Khatte jaane aari hai?

Respectful (common for both the genders)
Siddh jaane aariya ho? or Khatte jaane aariya ho?
