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.
