What is EGO-TRIP in Hindi?
I need help with the translation of the English word ego-trip into Hindi.
Can it be translated with aham yatra, aham safar, aatmaa yatra, aatma safar? Or can you suggest a better translation? Thanks a lot for your help! Mirjam |

ghamand
I think the english translation of ghamand would be more something like arrogant or pride. Any other suggestions?
Thanks. |

I dont think EGO-TRIP can be literally translated into hindi..! It is in iteslf a coined phrase..so you'll have to coin one in Hindi too, if you simply must use it!

There is no equivalent word in hindi for 'ego-trip'. In fact, if memory serves me right, there is no hindi word for ego. |

thanks
I looked in the dictionary for EGO, and it said aham or aatmaa, but that's not in the meaning I am looking for, I am afraid.
The reason I need the translation is a joke, actually. The name of a friend of mine is Debby Ego, and she is finishing a book about travelling in India. The title of the book will be DEBBY'S EGO-TRIP (meant as a joke), which will be in Hindi on the cover as well. In the Nagari script as part of the design. |
