Is "Bakwaas" a word that can come up in a normal argument or is it a severe escalation?
I (hindi native speaker) am looking for feedback on a disagreement I have with my spouse whose native language is marathi. For the sake of keeping it succinct, I want feedback on just the term and nothing outside the scope of the relationship.
He said a sentence to the dog in marathi which is his cute love language. We have a velcro dog.
I thought he said "we are leaving you behind" like how u tease kids and I said to dog "aww no we aren't leaving u behind" In hindi baby voice.
All this was said in fun so far.
He claims I said : husband dont scold dog.
There were people around when I said this. He got offended (learnt this later).
He said : tumhe nahi pata maine marathi me kya bola, kuch bhi bakwaas mat karo.
Use of the word bakwaas escalated the argument for me.
I will detail the rest of the argument here later but just till this point.. want to know if use of bakwaas should not be a big trigger. He says he is using it as replacement for senseless.
