How would you say ‘a dilapidated drum’ in your language?

Question

Have you known someone like the author’s grandmother? Do you feel the same sense of loss with regard to someone whom you have loved and lost?

Answer 1

Here is one way to say it in two Indian languages (you can adapt or replace with your own):

Hindi: “टूटा‑फूटा ढोल” या “जर्जर ढोल”

Bengali: “জীর্ণ ঢাক” বা “ভাঙাচোরা ঢাক”

You can choose similar words in your mother tongue that mean “old, broken, worn‑out drum”.
