How can we educate sikhs who go to hindu mandirs ? ... How about using reverse psychology ?

Grasping at straws now. Well said is synonymous with "I agree"

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/well_said

the sheer idiocy of the fact you're attempting to use this arguement is just beyond amusing for someone who enjoys "issuing challenges" 

 

hate to break it to you sunshine but "well said" = approval and acceptance. If the above link isn't enough then please consult an English professor. While you talk to him about this maybe also ask him to give you a refresher course on properly contextualising things.

 

heres another definition of the phrase "well said" also professing the same things I said.

Being a student of Gurbani surely you understand the concept of shudh. Being concise?

I also understand the concept of deploying a myriad of techniques to convey various points and characteristics, and also using various phrases to express certain things in various ways . For example the use of feminine terminology to eulogise God in Chandi Charitar. 

Using various poetic forms in Gurbani is also constantly done. Nice try though but we're discussing English here, not Gurmukhi. OP agreed with the statement, you tried to say he didn't but the very definition of his words show he did. You failed miserably so move on now.

Again your failure to recall forgets that you were the one to make Gurmukhi a issue. Not me

As usual rather than address the fundamental contradiction the poster made and how the position is antithetical to sikhi in the most obvious ways you would rather just attack me. 

I think there are anti sikh elements ob this forum whose goal is to de rail threads. Just look at past few threads of importance and you will understand

Not attacking you Sukh, but it does seem monumentally crazy that you haven't tried to seriously interact with Gurmukhi texts including historical ones. When you do, you'll probably find that a lot of concepts that you thought were Sikh, actually aren't. And that a lot of our puratan ancestors didn't exactly act like you might think they would according to your current thinking. 

Until you do, people will say stuff like the above to you (and not without justification). 

You're at an advantage if you come from a Panjabi background in that the syntax and even some of the vocabulary won't be a million miles from what you already know. A lot of it will involve simply swapping modern Panjabi lexicon with their older forms. 

Are u not punjabi

Also wat exactly u mean our ancestors had different concepts 

U mean like aarti nd stuff they still do at hazur sahib?

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! I know this isn't really related to the topic at hand, but do you know a tool which allows people to type Gurmukhi fomt from their phone or computer? I saw there was a video posted in the link you showed, but I can't seem to play that video. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Again we were discussing the semantics of the "well said" here, now you've dragged Gurbani into it in an attempt to distract from the obvious. That was a completely seperate issue, OP responded in English not Gurmukhi so please cut the nonsense. You tried to argue "Well said" wasn't acceptance and failed, then you tried to throw Gurbani into the mix, OP responds in English in that situation so please.
