I know this is probably the wrong forum for this, but can anyone tell me what "doie" means? It may not even be hindi, but I am assuming it is.

I read it in an e-mail from a friend of mine, but have no clue what it means.

Does it have a context. I don't recognize it. This could be a regionalism, but without anything before or after--even in English--it is impossible to tell.

 

Why don't you ask your friend?

I did, he is traveling in India right now and isn't accessing e-mail very often. It was a stand alone statement, so I have no idea what the context is.

Thanks anyway.

I thought that doi was yoghurt in Bengali or would it be depend on what part of Bengal (West Bengal or Bangladesh)? Anyway, it would help to know the context in the sentence. Also, is your friend from India and if so what part? If all else fails, just wait until you hear from him.

the context was as a stand alone word. he said good to hear from you and them Doie.

He is not from India, but has traveled throughout India most of his life. (2nd gen Krishna)

I was just curious, I guess I will have to wait to hear from him.

Chant Hare Krishna and be HAPPY

would say it was good to hear from you and then say yoghurt - unless he suddenly decided that he needed some!! Well, when you find out let us know. Maybe it was a typo or something. Or it could be some sort of slang. Just speculation, sorry.
