JMeenakshi Jan 29, 2010:
Prakash, I would suggest not to make any personal comment about anybody's suggested translation. If you are not agree with it, that is completely fine and you have a right to vote. Let us make this forum healthy and use it properly. If the translation is that much "funny" why it is being used and accepted so widely? May be the question term has other better translation, but it is not okay to criticize the other translation in this manner!!

मित्र हटाएं, दोस्त हटाएं

वर्तमान संदर्भ में इसका अर्थ मित्र हटाएं होगा। हिन्दी में friend का अर्थ है मित्र और friendship का अर्थ है मित्रता। हालांकि दोस्त शब्द उर्दू-फारसी का है परंतु वह हिन्दी में इतना घुलमिल गया है कि इसका प्रयोग (विशेष रूप से बोलचाल में) बहुत अधिक होता है।
इसलिए वेबसाइट के संदर्भ में मित्र (या दोस्त) बनाए या हटाए जाते हैं।
Definition from own experience or research:
फेसबुक जैसी किसी सामाजिक नेटवर्किंग साइट से किसी व्यक्ति को मित्र (या दोस्त) के रूप में हटाना।
Example sentences:
मित्र हटाएं (indofun.co.cc)
"दोस्त को हटाएं" (Pligg Hindi language file)
Peer comment(s):

agree PRAKASH SHARMA : I am pretty sure that this term refers to 'remove a friend from friend's list of fb', and not 'break friendship!' Seems funny, when translated as such as done by Meenakshi. Also, it's widely available in fb too! ;)

मित्रता तोड़ें

Definition from Oxford University Press USA:
फ़ेसबुक जैसी किसी सामाजिक नेटवर्किंग साइट पर किसी व्यक्ति से "मित्रता" तोड़ना।
Example sentences:
किसी से मित्रता तोड़ने का फैसला करना कठिन हो सकता है। लेकिन ऐसा करने की प्रक्रिया बिल्कुल आसान है। (Incorporated)
फ़ेसबुक में किसी से मित्रता तोड़ने के लिए बस इतना ही करना होता है, और यदि आप विचार बदल देते हैं तो उन्हें फिर से मित्र के रूप में जोड़ना आसान है। (RickySays, Inc)
Peer comment(s):

disagree PRAKASH SHARMA : In my opinion, w.r.t. context, this is wrong translation, however used widely.
