How to speak in Kannada
?
I am not kidding!! This is a thought
provoking appeal from one of our visitors "Shreekant
R Mishrikoti". We use way too many english
words in spoken kannada.
Who is
responsible for this ? We ourselves. Please
observe what and how do we talk today and what we
ourselves
or our elders used to talk earlier? What were the
Kannada words used earlier ? what are the English
words we have
switched to? May be, it is 'Daily' ,
'Evening' , 'Kitchen' , 'monthly' , 'weekly' , so
on..... May be with some regional
variations , we used Kannada words .
I am not in favour of 'Shudhdha (pure) Kannada', which
people may not understand. Just I am in favour of
stopping the
trend of further |losing our beautiful words
to English . I want to retain the Kannada
words in Use like ' Baagilu' ,
'Pratinitya/Nitya/Dinalu' , 'Munjaane/Beligge' , 'Sanje'
,Adigemane' etc ; Not introducing unintelligible words
like 'aarakshaka',
'abhiyantara' I want to start compiling
such a list of words and their equivalents if possible
with regional variations .
Please spread the thought and encourage
others to think over the matter. |
