Aadaab!
According to Shabdkosh.com and a thread here on the word "boothha," the word for snout in Hindi and Urdu is थूथनी/تھوتھنی. Curious what would one say for snout in Punjabi? I checked on ijunoon's Punjabi dictionary, and they provided دُھنّی as a the term, which I assumed meant belly button! Curious what others would say here.

Thanks!

  • I found 3 words: ਬੂੱਥਾ بوتّھا buutthaa, ਬੂੱਥੀ بوتّھی buutthii , ਥੁੰਨੀ تھنّی thunnii ...
     
    buuthhaa/buuthhii I've always understood to be when someone makes a sort of sour face. I suppose you could use it for a dog, but I wasn't aware it was specific for snout.
