Hindhey v/s Mundhey

Namaskaragalu,
Mundhey:
Mundhey Banni… swalpa Mundhey Banni, sang Kamal Hassan in a Kannada film, where in he was acting as a Bus Conductor.
A literal translation in english would be Front come… little front come

Mundhey ( not to be confused by the punjabi Munde….)
This means front, or forward as the context might be.
This word can be used in the following context

Mundhey Baa to a person who is way younger to you and you are motivating him
Mundhey Banni is “come front” to a group of people or when used with respect
Mundhey-naa ??? is a one word question to a suggestion

Hindhey is the Back, I reckon you would have guessed it by now

This word can be used in the following context (Will not give you the english translation this time)

Hindhey Baa or Banni
Hindhey-naa ???
Hindhey Guruve….. (these two words can be used when somebody is searching for you in dark/dimly lit room and you shout out to him/her saying that you are way behind )

Guruve (pronounced as Guru-way) literally means teacher/master, but
As
Macchha is in Tamil
Bawa is in Hyderabadi urdu
Mamu is in tapori style
Guru is unique to Bangalore.
