[edit]'Bollocks Ji' may be humorous, but seems rather out of place here... Wathiik (talk) 12:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Proposed move to Wiktionary

Origin
[edit]Ji is an Aryan word of respect used mainly in India, and with variations in Iran, Afghanistan, Kashmir (India), etc. It is no secret that the Jew to enter lands looks for people like them. In India the Jew has located the Punjabi thus the Jew is doing public relations for the Punjabi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.243.41 (talk) 11:02, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- I have seen where Hindi -ji was rendered in Sanskrit as -opadhyay (i.e. -a-upādhyāya with sandhi). "upādhyāya" is Sanskrit for "teacher". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Definitely deserves an article
[edit]I have expanded it a bit. If sir, mister, san deserve wikipedia entries, Ji does too. It's a pretty important cultural artifact of North India and Pakistan. --Hunnjazal (talk) 06:02, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
