Dear all,

What is the best way to translate "Delhi" in the following structure?

"Have you met the Delhi businessman Duvan?"

It's similar to "New York" in "The New York couples"

Thanks a lot.

neutral  Ali Al-Saqqa: النسبة الصحيحة هي دلهوي أو دلهيّ
5 hrs
  -> Thank you.

disagree  ahmadwadan.com: ممكن باللغة الدارجة مثل مصراوي، نجعاوي...الخ لكن النسب من مصر "مصري" وليس مصراوي وهكذا الحال هنا.
5 hrs
  -> صحيح, ولكن ما رأيك في النسب إلى بعض الأسماء المنقوصة المنتهية بياء و التي شاع استخدامها مثل وصفنا لشخص يشجع النادي الأهلي بأنه أهلاوي ؟
