| | Gujarati translation:Ruuk; Rokai ja: Thob; or Ubho rahe - for male child. Ubhi rahe for female child | Explanation:
Ruuk: meaning stop or wait is more commonly used in Hindi than in Gujarati.
In Gujarati it is more common to say - rokai ja if the sense is ' stay on here for a while; don't go away.
Ubho or Ubhi rahe literally mean 'stand' and is the most common way to say 'wait'.
Thob means Stop, also used to say ''wait';
hope this helps!

Rokai: Ro as in 'so' + kai to rhyme with 'sky'.
'Bas' means 'that's enough'/ 'that's it; often used twice as in 'bas bas', to mean 'no more please!', when your plate is being plied with more food than you want, which is the traditional practice of a good host or hostess!
'Bas karo' means Stop it now, that's enough; as in telling children to stop doing something like making noise;
'Bas?' as a question means 'have you had enough?' meaning to ask 'areyou satisfied?' or to convey 'Is that all?'
Just the one word 'bas' conveys different things according to the tone, e,g. a long drawn out sighing 'ba ..as'!' can be an elderly person's sigh of relief or deep satisfaction . Or a sharp 'Buss' could be an irate 'thats it!'
