When your dad negotiates having some discount off of a product by knowing him from "a long time ago" and becoming very "friendly".

Dad: Arey! Bhai! (Yo, brother!)

*Both, the shop keeper and my dad hug each other*

Shopkeeper: Sub Teek hai? Tumhara family teek hai? (Is everything alright? Is your family okay?)

Dad: Ji, sub teek hai! (Yes, everything is alright!)

*1 hour conversation*

*Everyone is looking at me like I'm a foreigner from my own country*

Dad: -Acha, to discount hai? (-Okay, so is there a discount?)

*I look very intensely at the shop keeper and I feel like he's going to say no*

Shop Keeper: Kyu nahi? Mein tujhe se free se dehdo (Why not? I will give you it for free)

*WHAT THE ACTUAL BLAHHDNFNRHDHCND*

Whereas if my mom did this (Lol, my dad actually taught my mom, how sweet is that XD)

Mom: Can I have that shawl?
Shop Keeper: Sure!
Mom: I want to buy this

*Shop Keeper packs it in the bag while my mom whispering to me*

Mom: Shall I ask for a discount?
Me: I don't know...what would dad do?
Mom: Am discount season hai, to discount dehdo?
Shop Keeper: Bari expensive se cheez hai aur tu discount manglia? (This is very expensive stuff and you want a discount still as well?

*My mom and I exchange a look*

*Leaves the shop*

Me: I don't understand something
Mom: What?
Me: How comes it works for Dad?
Mom: He was born to get free things but also likes to spend money lavishly
Me: 0.0....

<My Hindi or Urdu is quite crap so don't judge, I tried to translate in English, what I was meant to say next to them>
