Hi i'm really stunned by the similarity of tulu script with malayam ,I thought malayalam is related to tamil,but i was shocked to see tulu script which i mistook was malayalam script.
ReplyDeleteYes Malayāḷmụ is related to Tamil.
DeleteMalayalam language has highest influence of Tamil
whereas the script used to write Malayalam and Tulu are derived from same orig8n
i'm really stunned by the similarity of tulu and malayalam scripts..!
ReplyDeleteJay, Malayalam script has been adapted by ancient Tulu script.

DeleteWhat does ee prapancha mean
ReplyDeleteIs it"you speak" or "you learn"
What is the meaning of ee prapancha
ReplyDeleteHi Neha,
Delete"Ee Prapancha" is a Kannada word. It means 'This World' (Ee - this, Prapancha - world).
Oh ok thanks....
ReplyDeleteAavad
ReplyDeleteSolmelu
Great!
DeleteAll thanks to our technology. Hope to learn basic soon. I am good at learning because I am myself a professor.... But not from your field.... I belong to commerce.
DeleteRightly said Neha.. Technology has made some aspects of life very easy. Nice to know my lessons are far reaching! Good to know that you are professor!
DeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteEdde rathre
ReplyDeleteThanks, though edde raathre is a translation of English phrase Good Night, it is rarely used. I believe that is the case with other Indian languages too...
ReplyDeleteIf it is rarely used then....how good night is said in fluent tulu or how good morning.. Have a nice day is been said
ReplyDeleteWell, none of these phrases are used in daily conversations. To greet any person anytime, we say Namaskaara and then ask Encha ullar? (How are you?). Occasionally, people say 'Dever Edde Malpad' (Let the god bestow his blesssings/goodness). Or while parting, people say Paatherga Apanda(Lets talk again then) OR Thikga Apanda(See you next time then)
DeleteOhhh ok.... Thank you for teaching this. Otherwise I would have made fun of myself by saying all this.. He he
ReplyDeleteNot a problem! :) Nice to know you are finding the finer details of language usage!
DeleteThank you Sir :)
ReplyDelete"Reply" word ko kya bolte hai
ReplyDeleteReply as a noun - uththara
DeleteReply as a verb - uththara korle (give reply)
Thanks a ton :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Neha! :)
