Bazaar (ਬਜ਼ਾਰ) means market: a place, usually a street or a covered row of shops, where people buy and sell things. In Punjab every town has a bazaar, and the word covers everything from a small lane of vegetable stalls to a big cloth market. It is a masculine noun, so Punjabis say vadda bazaar, a big market. ## What does bazaar mean in Punjabi? A bazaar is where daily shopping happens. A Punjabi goes to the bazaar for sabzi, kapde, masale and household things, and often just to walk around, meet people and see what is new. Unlike a single shop, a bazaar is a whole stretch of shops and stalls side by side, so buyers can compare prices and haggle, which Punjabis call mol-bhaav karna. The word can also mean the crowd itself: bazaar vich bheed means a crowd in the market. ## Where did the word bazaar come from? Bazaar came into Punjabi from Persian bāzār, a word for a town's public market district. Its roots go further back, through Middle Persian wāzār and Old Persian wāčar, and the word spread from Persia across West Asia and into South Asia, so it is used in Urdu, Hindi, Bengali and many other languages. In Punjabi it is written ਬਜ਼ਾਰ in Gurmukhi and بازار in Shahmukhi, and it is a masculine noun. ## How is bazaar used in everyday Punjabi? Bazaar appears in everyday talk in many ways. Bazaar jana means to go to the market, bazaar karna means to do the shopping, and bazaar ton auna means to come back from the market. A bazaar vich ghumna is a stroll through the market, often with no fixed errand. Punjabis also use the word for the mood of a place: jithe bazaar lagda hai means where the market gathers, and a street that is full of life is said to be bazaar varga, like a market. The related word mandi is used more for a wholesale grain or produce market, while bazaar is the everyday shopping street. ## What makes a Punjabi bazaar different from a shop? A shop is one seller behind one counter, while a bazaar is many sellers together, often grouped by trade: a cloth bazaar, a grain bazaar, a goldsmiths' row. That is why Punjabis say bazaar vich sab kuch milda hai, you find everything in the market. Bargaining is part of the visit, and so is meeting neighbours, which makes the bazaar as much a social place as a shopping place. ## Related words [ਮੰਡੀmandiMarket; the grain market where farmers sell their produce](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/mandi/)[ਦੁਕਾਨਦਾਰdukandarShopkeeper; the person who owns or runs a shop](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/dukandar/)[ਪੈਸਾpaisaMoney; also a paisa, one hundredth of a rupee](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/paisa/)[ਆੜ੍ਹਤੀਆArhtiyaA commission agent in a Punjab grain market (mandi) who buys and sells crops for farmers and traders](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/arhtiya/) Advertisement Sources (2) 1.
