As a Tamil patriot I thank Modi and BJP

[Soulspeek]

Hez busted!! He won't even try.

Oru kelvi kuu badhil solu - onodiya oor yenna?



He couldn't answer my tamil question last time, lets see if he can this time

 

[Soumitra]

Whatever happen, Kerala will still remain out of reach of BJP, at-least for few decades my friend.

Oh we won one seat in the last elections and increased our vote share. Maybe in the next elections more seats will come.

He chose a wrong identity. Pakistani false flagger claiming to be North Indian can work because the language is similar to Urdu. He wanted to be too clever and choose a Tamilian identity. but forgot that there are lot of Tamilians here + he couldnt even drop his countries name from his username kvpak

hehe....pak is not unknown word in south.....mysore pak is my favourite sweet.....so earlier i didnt discount him on that alone (but i did notice it).

Great thing about south indian language is multiple ways to spell using english.....this totally wrecks google translate esp if you use spoken tamil. In fact google translate is so terrible at even simple direct sentence (that you type in) translation to tamil....its grammar choice sticks out like a sore thumb. Translating from tamil to english, its not bad....but you got to know how it prefers it being typed in (cant just copy paste, because of the multiple tamil spelling possibilities using english letters).

Its like engima machine for those that dont know tamil.....even fellow south indians i think will have difficulty cracking it properly.

In fact my dad said in certain operations in 1965 war, malayalam was frequently used by indian military comms (keralites were always well represented in armed forces)....so it would completely throw off pakistanis that intercepted it. @Levina have you heard about this one?

I see saffronization of Tamil Nadu soon, just Rajnikant needs to join BJP there and Ganguly in Kolkatta

So this was true....my dad told me the same!!
I'm a telugu...I can understand bits and pieces of Kannada and Tamil...but with Malayalam I'm clueless!
Learned a bit though by watching premam movie with subtitles..lol

I have not heard about that but I have heard of a story that Navy used to speak in russian over their radio to confuse Pakistanis. Many naval officers who had gone to Soviet Union for training knew Russian so they spoke it.

not to forget this multi lingual ability also works in cricket. When playing against say australia or england use Hindi when playing against Pakistan use English "the boys played very well"

 

[Indika]

but with Malayalam I'm clueless!

if you sing while talking it is malayalam.

I think you have grossly mistaken, the seat was not won because voters favour BJP, rather the personality of Mr. O Rajagopal, and BJP only have one and only one Rajagopal, all other state leaders and nothing but trash, and BJP's standard hindutuva won't work in Kerala since Hindu's in Kerala are mostly liberals.

 

[baajey]

You wont be thanking him when we send a few million biharis your way. Tamils need to be taught Indian sanskriti.

most deserving answer.
no offence to bihari bros.

Telugu is nicest sounding language to me. Watching the old black and white NTR and ranga rao movies and such....it never gets old (and just regular speaking it sounds like a poem/song hehe)...so many tamil cine stars (and playback singers) come from that background too (i bet you know the shared heritage found in chennai after all - census at one point even showed telugu majority at certain times before independence).

I watched enough....sometimes same movie in both languages (classics like maya bajaar)...that I can understand telugu pretty well overall (no good at writing/reading though - never learned the script). Kannada is easier for me (spoken) given I lived in KA some time and lots of people from there were in the neighbourhood of TN i grew up in.... so the lingo was always there around me.

Malayalam yah it can be difficult for most, but not so much for me given i am from the border region (coimbatore). In fact I only knew much later that the numbers i learned in tamil are actually malayalam mostly compared to standard tamil elsewhere. Its almost a language continuum to some degree (palghat malayalam/tamil is very close to coimbatore tamil etc in practice)....but once i hit proper interior/coastal kerala....yah I sometimes cant understand fully....but normally keralites and tamils (thru watching enough movies etc) know what the better common words are and stick to those. Grammar/structure is pretty much identical...given malayalam was the last language to formally split from Tamil in the area (their chera kings are recognised as formal tamil dynasty in history)

Tulu is one I have little exposure to. Also Udupi Kannada is pretty different when I was there (I only am comfortable with standard basic kannada)...but that whole udupi/mangalore area is very pretty and the people are pleasant too....so it was no real problem for me.

It was fun comparing how the situation in south is similar to scandinavia language wise with some of my friends from there. i.e the family being the same but the languages having their distinct differences and nuances....but close enough that you can pick up another pretty easy with enough exposure/use.

Here comes another proud "English speaking" Indian.

You might speak English even when playing with Australia or Britain, they won't understand one word.

Only Indians can understand their own "english", @Areesh @NakedLunch

I heard many people saying that...(Telugu language sounding poetic)!
Yes,Actually Telugu film industries have origins in TN(chennai). If you see lot of Telugu actors of yesteryears still reside in Chennai...and pretty much all Telugu actors know Tamil!!
Sometimes it amazes me....here were are since hundreds of years living close by still our cultures are distinct and preserved!

English is a foreign language and not speaking it correctly is not a big deal. I find it personally foolish not to talk in one's own language on those ceremonies. Just shows some sort of complex.

And I find it absolutely hilarious how Indians boast about their "English", which almost no one around the world understands apart from Indians themselves,

So don't worry next time you have a game against Australia, England, New Zealand etc, just keep communicating in your normal "English", they won't get a word.
