Nicki Minaj - Va Va Voom (Explicit)

vA vA voom! 







Today we would cover an  indeclinable in Sanskrit.


Its the word वा (vA ).


What about it?


The word वा (vA) has the following functions:


1) Interrogative function as in a question meaning "Is/Is it" for eg: माता पचति वा? (mAtA pacati vA) meaning "Is mother cooking?"



2)Conjunction function ..to mean "Or" when used only once for eg  वानरः गजः वा (vAnaraH gajaH vA)  meaning "Monkey or elephant".

Here the  वा(vA) is used only once, mostly it indicates just a statement with no emphasis of choice.



3)Conjuntion function to mean "Either" when  वा(vA) is used twice as in an emphasis to make a choice

eg: वानरः वा गजः वा (vAnaraH vA gajaH vA)  meaning "Either the monkey or the elephant"



So that's the vA vA voom for today!
