coffee_rules Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Truly. No other language that I know differentiates between son’s kids and daughter’s kids. Please enlighten me Never knew the usage of Pota, Poti vs Nati, Natin. Qualifying relations is very important to. Everybody is uncles and aunts In English In Kannada Mama, Mami and Bua, Fufa are same names as are grandchildren.

coffee_rules Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) This looks more like making fun of a less educated North Indian for not knowing English rather than fighting against Hindi Imposition on South India.

zen Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 South Indian spoken English can be difficult to understand ... I am not sure if it can even be called "English" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranvir Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 It's the same in Punjabi, it's just a case of being very specific. Just like you have different names for various aunts and uncles. Hindi should only be a secondary language in non Hindi majority speaking states. Khota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good 65% of the words in that tree are identical/very similar to what is said in Punjabi. Khota, Lone Wolf and coffee_rules 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very good at Hindi, proud of my skills and but I would never force it on anyone. I think Hindi is an amazing language but is falling behind to English. But I speak proper Hindi, not the UP variant type. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one forced Hindi on me, and I consider it is one of my primary languages and am proud of it. At the same time if a Tamil speaking person does not want to learn it, one has to respect that. As long as everyone respects the Indian constitution it is all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain someone shamelessly shills for any and all cricketers who speak 'his' language, but accuses me of being gujju biased. Because somehow my fondness for Boomrah, Bhuvi, Siraj, Sundar, Samson, Shaw is motivated by my desire to see 'gujjus' in the team....

Marathi actually looks closer in lingo to a south Indian language & probably has nothing in common to the North. Tamilians probably don't view anyone other than themselves as South Indians... Hence the Dravidian theory kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
