For the first one, I guess that you meant "roo7y" = my soul
Have you ever listened to Maya Nasri's song 7abbet 7ob? She sings something like that

Here is a link to it, I like this song :

A wellknown tongue twister in Hindi:
चाँदूके चाचाने चाँदूकी चाचीको चाँदीचौकमें चाँदीकी चम्मचसे चटनी चटाए।
(chādūke chāchāne chādūkī chāchīko chādīchaukmeṁ chādīkī chammachse chaṭnī chaṭāe.)
Chandu's uncle asked Chandu's aunt to taste a chutney (a pickle) with the help of a silver spoon at Chandni-chowk (= a shopping street in Delhi).

To Asminha,

I copied these sentences litteraly. They're using another way of transcription to latin letters (btw: there are so many ways of transcription that I sometimes get confused). 'Roukhy' must indeed be 'my soul'.

I listened to the song twice. The singer is really "playing" with words. I partially understood the one with bahebek hob.. habibi.

Btw, the link works for me. I wonder if any one else had problems to enter the site (cause I used it in the dutch forum too ).

To Vinayakan,

If you're interested: on the site I mentioned before, you can also find Hindi tongue breakers (and many other languages).
