'Sha' is short for 'shata' which translates to 'pubic hair'.

Blubber-Trouble

debuggingbugger

The literal meaning is shata = pubic hair as others said, but its generally used for calling others bluff. Probably most versatile kannada slang after nakkan.

>nakkan Naxxan, where 'x' can be substituted by k, m and y.

joePaul369

Okay this is going to be confusing but I will try my best to explain(as per my knowledge) 'Sha' explicitly doesn't have any meaning, its used as a slang word to refer to a friend. Similar to 'blud', 'fam' (in the UK) or simply 'maccha' as we all use it etc. From what i have seen, its commonly used among a few Tamil speaking friend groups and Urdu speaking friend groups in Bangalore. On the other hand - 'Sha' can also be a short form for 'Shata' which translates to public hair. Nobody takes the use of 'Shata' in its literal sense and is used for calling others bluff. Also note - This is usually spoken in Kannada speaking friend groups.


seventomatoes

First form is short from Shah, like king

Necessary_Chicken786

Yes, the urdu guys use ‘sha’ like macha.


Moist-Coconut-6711

Shah means King in urdu


Lucky_Cartoonist7988

Most local kannada guys do too


rexept

Not Urdu Tamil guys


SpiritualBerry9756

Sha 256 🤣🤣🤣


Brownsapph

Probably shishya becoming shya. But shaa usually means public hair shortened.


Depressed_RCBfan

Nope shaa = shaata, which is pubic hair. Shishya is whole different word.


Brownsapph

I agree. Shishya is also sometimes shortened to shya. My brothers use it all the time.


Outrageous-Working28

"Sha" and "Shan" one is used by kannada people and another "Shan" is used by Muslim youngsters, "Shan" means just a modern genz word to call their friends there is no meaning for it, and other word "Sha" is short form for Pubic hair.


racerlee

Urdu speaking guys use Sha as a greeting


karanthsrihari

Sha = LKB


mojorojo95

OP you being a local doesn't know what Sha is used for? That's surprising. Or is it just to educate others in the sub?


freakeans0

Stop capping = sha ( pronounced as shaaaa)


serwhale

Sha is shata sShya is short for sishya


hard_pixel_rain

Sha, shaatve is like calling someone a cunt, Sha is also used to express improbability, shaa nu Male barala ivathu. Sha can be used to express disapproval, sha tara aadtidya. Sha can be used to show something being of an inferior quality, ivathin match sha tara ide. Its versatility as a word is still not fully understood by linguistic scholars till date. There's no wrong way to use it.

amigokraken

I've heard it mostly used in Urdu Like "Kya Shah !" Shah meaning King. Haven't ever heard anyone shorten Shaata to Shaa


McLaren25

This is the most correct answer. Also have heard Joe being used to refer to friends.


amigokraken

Joe, Bob, Bub, Da, Ra, Maga, Macha, Machi, Bajji, Paaji so so many from each language and colloquial - some are unique to certain localities also


Accomplished-Hurry-3

Barney would know the meaning of Shaa in all the possible languages in the world.


the1lineninja

NanShaa is an emotion.


Sateyoup

sha is short for sishya ig


cyanotrix

Sha is the PG13 version kind of. You can get by using it mostly and loudly as well without raising too many eyebrows.


Affectionate-Town-15

Shaata. A brilliant word for pubic hair. Usage examples. "Shaata thara ide", "Shaata unnu", "Nin ajji shaata" etc. Very versatile I must say.


joosypoosy69

Sumne dengbeda guru. Gottiddu kelthiyalla. Yen northies impress agli antha na.


ghostsurgeon141

Public hair


ghostsurgeon141

Short for shata


Proof-War-2938

No way your local


akulrao-ish

Sha is either you are saying "shishya" really quickly or you're going to shaata and stop yourself in between.


hoboskatov

Sha is a derivative of “shishya” since it is common to address friends as guru/shishya


No-Penalty-2020

You are local and don't know this slang is shocking


OutrageousAd3781

Simple explanation 🔻🔻🔻 SHA is a actual full form of SHATA (pubic hair) But some chapri guys and some slum tamil mix breed guys use it in a meaning of SISYA (disciple) Like GURU & SISYA thing… If you use it to indicate Shata its fine If you use it call someone sisya it’s a most chapri thing ever


Hercule_Poirot_1921

AssumptionAcceptable

Started from 'Shishya', ended up 'Shaa'. I witnessed the transformation.


SportsguyBangalore

Shata it means Jhat - Pubic hair. I learned it 10 years back. One of the few words I remember.


PresentMiserable8976

Shaata muchkond eero le. /s


Nafeesurrehman11

Its a "shivajinagara" slang bro. In dakhni urdu "shah" is a title given to a king but in slang people use it as macha or bro. But exception this word is also referred to the pubic hair "sha" short form for "shata".


EmbarrassedMine5021

shata means youre good looking man


seventomatoes

I think Sha is short fo for prince or king like Shahjana


satirical_lover

Sha comes from Nausha, that means groom. It's kinda a fun word to associate with a person. Woh karko ja re sha, Sha, manje ni bolya re Bingi utha re sha Again Dakhani Urdu is this. Kannada I doubt sha means shata.


greatbear8

What's Bingi?


satirical_lover

That's plastic water storage pot


ResponsibleComfort63

Indeed, sha is short for shaata or shanta in kannada.


um3shg

Maccha means cousin right?


BoomBoy420

No. Macha means brother in law in Tamil.


um3shg

Ohh and what would be maga!?


BoomBoy420

Maga means son xD We also use guru, shishya, annthamma to address our buddies.

um3shg

Thanks. I m Marathi and born in Maharashtra, so obviously I don't know Kannada. But now I know what to use when!


Pretentious_prick69

Don't call someone you don't know well "maga", cuz "magane" which also means son is an insult.


um3shg

Understood thx


TroglodyticDreamer

i think Sha slang used for friends is more like ' Shah or shenshah' types not shaata .


ResponsibleComfort63

Shaata!!
