Setting

Say it**SET-ing**Type**Noun**

In short

ਸੈਟਿੰਗ (setting) is the English word for an arrangement, borrowed into Punjabi slang with two everyday meanings. It can mean a plan or a deal that has been fixed, as in 'setting ho gayi', everything is sorted. It can also mean a romantic link, as in Arjan Dhillon's song Setting, where the singer tells a girl the setting went too far and asks her to forgive his mistakes.

## How it's used

1. 1ਟਿਕਟਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੈਟਿੰਗ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਹੈ।।The tickets are all arranged. _A fixed arrangement_
2. 2ਤੇਰੀ ਉਸ ਨਾਲ ਸੈਟਿੰਗ ਚੱਲ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ?।Are you in a setting with her? _The romantic sense_

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਰਥ

ਸੈਟਿੰਗ ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਅਰਥ ਹੈ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧ ਜਾਂ ਤੈਅ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੋਈ ਗੱਲ। ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਦੋ ਅਰਥ ਹਨ: ਇੱਕ, ਕੋਈ ਯੋਜਨਾ ਜਾਂ ਸੌਦਾ ਤੈਅ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, ਜਿਵੇਂ 'ਸੈਟਿੰਗ ਹੋ ਗਈ'। ਦੂਜਾ, ਦੋ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਪਿਆਰ ਦਾ ਸੰਬੰਧ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਅਰਜਨ ਢਿੱਲੋਂ ਦੇ ਗੀਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ।

What does setting mean in Punjabi? ਸੈਟਿੰਗ (setting) means an arrangement that has been fixed, or a romantic link between two people. It comes from the English verb set, to arrange something. In Punjabi youth speech it covers both a sorted plan and a relationship that is not yet official.

The two meanings sound different but they share one idea: something has been put in place. A ticket booking or a wedding plan can be a setting once someone has fixed it. A boy and a girl who talk every day can also be in a setting, even if neither has said the word love.

## Where setting comes from

Setting comes from the English verb set. The Cambridge Dictionary gives 'to set something up' as to arrange for an event or activity to happen, and setting is its present participle. Punjabi shortened the idea: the setting is the arrangement itself, the thing that has been set up. It travelled the same road as scene, through films and songs.

## Setting in Punjabi songs

The word owes much of its fame to Arjan Dhillon's song Setting, written and sung by him with music by Desi Crew. Its chorus runs 'Ni setting baahli hogi si, bhull chukk maaf kari mutiyaare', girl, the setting went too far, forgive my mistakes. The song treats setting as a romance that grew too fast. Young Desi's 'Set Hay' uses the other sense: 'Meri har shay set eyy', everything of mine is set.

## When setting means romance

In the romantic sense, setting is deliberately vague. Slang guides describe it as a romantic arrangement, or someone you are dating unofficially, and give the question 'Tera usse setting chal raha hai kya?', are you in a setting with her? Friends use it when they do not want to say dating, and it can sound playful or teasing.

## What does setting mean in Punjabi?

Setting means an arrangement that has been fixed, or a romantic link between two people. Both senses come from the verb set, to arrange something.

## What does 'setting ho gayi' mean?

'Setting ho gayi' means everything is arranged and sorted. Young Desi's song 'Set Hay' says it with 'Meri har shay set eyy', everything of mine is set.

## What is Arjan Dhillon's song Setting about?

The song is about a romance that grew too fast. The chorus runs 'Ni setting baahli hogi si, bhull chukk maaf kari mutiyaare', the setting went too far, forgive my mistakes, girl.

## Is a setting the same as dating?

Not quite. A setting is a romantic link that is not yet official, and friends use the word when they do not want to say dating. It is vague on purpose.
