Pavanbhai, kaunse lingo ka word?

All lingos!! I could do the honors for Konkani, Tamil and a bit of Kannada (fortunately I have a dictionary as I am learning that lingo)

Language forum ke wajah se, kuch hi dinon mein, main kayi bhashaon mein gaaliyan de sakoonga. Wowie!

Unni you have fat hopes...

Unni rombo thaan kozhuppu ungalakku

Hello World

Nimz... whatz Hello in Konk da?

World = Jagatyu

Oye what was that??

Vanakkam Ulagamey (in tamil)

Namaskaru Bhooikey (in Konkani)

N

Namaskaruh

I hear that all the time from wifey, except she uses "unakku" and not the polite "ungalakku".

ha hahah Unni ungalukku - is a typical respect-ful way of addressing.. I guess it might reduce the endearment there that is why she says unakku..(well it will also make u feel younger )

jaise tum aur aap

hahahaha

This one is a nice thread..
May be we can still make this work..and get some fun out of this..Add the way to greet in your language so that we can associate it with you..

Aap Kaise hai?

Meeru Yela Vunnaaru?

HEYYYY!!!
For those who came in late (as all Phantom comics would start) - you are seeing above all the TOP GUNS of HF at that time!!!!
Pradeep and Nimii were the founders - Unni, Chitralekha and some others were on the managing team...
For a moment I thought they were all back

Drake...yes, i know. i was reading this thread today and felt so good. The efforts they made to reach out to each other is fantastic. Music is one common language which has united the world...
btw..if am not mistaken..i only know one expression from your language..

Tumhi Kase Ahat ? ( how are you? ) ..is it correct??

Absolutely correct

Now entering the realm of Satyajit Ray and Bimal da..and Manna Da..

A nice way of scolding wife or even someone near dear at home.. in tamil.

HT bhai..what about "Muttal" ? moron ?

You in Telugu is Nuvvu

This doesn't seem to be a single word (or so I think )

HB..yes. Nuvvu equals...Tum. Meeru equals Aap.


Actually that should be single " sentence".
