I think we should close the topic.
Personal likes and dislikes are different things, always subjective and may not
have to be based on rational.

'mone mone' means secretively also, that's what I don't like. 'mountota' or
'nirovota' will be a better fit, IMO. Thanks again for the input.

When we say, Moi mone mone ahilw, that means, I came quietly, silently
(you cannot play drum here). Mone mone means, like you said, more than not
talking.
But I can play a drum even when I am MOUNO.
Gandhi attended some meeting when he was in MOUNO BROT, and others were
speaking. The situation was not quiet at all.

As always, I appreciate the good arguments but isn't that the same
situation with 'mone`mone`too? One can stay 'mone` mone`, but can beat a drum
around. Or, he/she can 'mone` mone`' steal a book and leave.
And Barua, as far as I understand, 'Quiet' is an adjective and be a verb.
'Quiet-ly' is an adverb.

Someone can be MOUNO (will not talk, MOUNO-BROT) but he can be playing
a drum and make lot of noise.
QUIET or SILENT is actually freedom from noise or sound.

This one was probably buried in the flurry of emails, but if I have
to give my two cents, this has been the closest to what Alpana Baidew was
looking for - "Mounata Banchaniya" that is.
Cheers,

Baidew,
I think "MOUNOTA BANCHANIYA" may serve the purpose in Assamese. In
hindi it may be "MOUN RAHIYE". It is my opinion.

What is the exact translation of "Quiet Please" in Assamese or
Hindi - in a nice/professional way, and it should not be as rude as 'mone`
mone` thaka/thakok' or "chup roho/rehiye!'. :)
I would appreciate any help.
