뜻
A tall mountain peak.
문화적 배경
Pakistanis are very proud of their northern mountains. K2, the world's second-highest peak, is often called 'Savage Mountain'. Using 'ooncha pahar' to describe it is common in national songs. In Sufism, the mountain represents the 'Nafs' (self/ego). Climbing the 'ooncha pahar' is a metaphor for the spiritual journey toward enlightenment. In cities like Karachi (which is flat), 'ooncha pahar' is almost always used metaphorically for electricity bills or inflation. Local legends in the Gilgit-Baltistan region speak of 'Paris' (fairies) living on the 'oonche pahar' where humans cannot reach.
The 'R' Trick
To pronounce 'Pahar' correctly, try to touch the roof of your mouth with the underside of your tongue for the 'R'.
Gender Alert
Remember 'Pahar' is a boy! Always use 'Ooncha', never 'Oonchi' unless you're talking about a 'Pahari' (hill).

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, 'oonchi imarat' (tall building) is correct. 'Ooncha' works for inanimate objects with vertical height.
It is masculine. You can tell because it ends in a consonant and its diminutive 'pahari' ends in 'ee'.
The plural is 'oonche pahar'. The noun doesn't change in the basic plural form.
Yes, 'ooncha pahar' is the direct translation and the most natural way to say it.
Not exactly slang, but people might say 'pahar jaisa' to mean 'huge' in any context.
You say 'pahar par charhna' or 'pahar sar karna' (to conquer/top a mountain).
'Buland' is a more formal, Persian-origin word. It's like the difference between 'tall' and 'lofty'.
No! Use 'lamba' for people. 'Ooncha' for people implies social status or being 'high' on something.
Absolutely. It is the definition of an 'ooncha pahar' in Pakistan.
Only if used metaphorically for a problem. Physically, it is neutral or positive.
