Just had a shocking realization: there's no word for "party" (as in fun gathering) in Hindi. Explains so much. Urdu "jashn" comes closest.

@i_contemplate_ No, that's more like a formal commemorative event. Also not in common use anyway.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@vgr And Utsav (उत्सव) ? Yes they have multiple meanings but party would be included in that I think -
@i_contemplate_ Nope. Utsav is festival. You'd NEVER use it to mean party. -
@vgr I'll concede with a caveat that I remember this from my childhood and you can also find GOOG results for 'janamdin utsav' -
@i_contemplate_ never ever heard anybody say janamdin utsav :) -
@vgr@i_contemplate_ Janmostav is a word for sure
