    hi raveesh,
    i liked ur tulu learning blogs.
    i have a suggestion to make.rather than just the translations of common phrases,if u can tell about a verb changes acc to tenses or nou, it would be helpful to learn language fast.
    thank you for starting this series.

    Hi Kedar,

    Thanks for your suggestion. Actually, I thought casual way of learning a language by knowing the common phrases would help in learning it fast. What you suggested is a formal way of learning any language. Thats definitely useful for those, who want to seriously learn the language. Definitely I would take note of your advice, when I write next post on this series.

    dhanyavaadagalu = thanks.
    Innashtu = more.
    lekhagalannu = articles.
    taralu = to bring out

    The other sentence you have translated is perfect!

    Hi
    I really like your Learn Tulu articles.But the problem is that I find it difficult read Tulu written in English.I don't know how exactly you pronounce them.So can you also please write the Tulu part in Kannada so we know how exactly it is prnounced?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Raveesh KumarSaturday, August 21, 2010 6:32:00 PM

    Hi Bharat,

    Good to see your interest in learning Tulu. Ya, writing in Kannada script is a good option. But I had kept it in English script to reach people who dont know Kannada script. If you had observed I have put Kannada translations too. So, it is serving two purpose of teaching Tulu as well as Kannada.

    As far as the pronounciation is concerned, I have followed the convention used by Baraha software transliteration. If you had used Baraha, you will have no difficulty in reading it. That is to say, mahapraana letters are in Capitals and alpapraana letters are in small letters. Please let me know if you need more info on the pronounciations.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Bharat BalegereSunday, August 22, 2010 7:09:00 AM

    I have not used Baraha much and I am still finding it difficult to know the exact pronunciation(inspite of knowing which is mahapraana and alpapraana)
    Why don't you add Tulu written in Kannada also to these guides?You don't have to remove the English version.Or even better would be is to record these tulu sentences and give an option for the users to play it.This way we also come to know about the style of speaking.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Raveesh KumarSunday, August 22, 2010 10:05:00 AM

    Hi Bharat,

    Thanks for your comments. Recording the pronunciation is a great option. I will try to see how I can implement your suggestions in my future posts.

    Hi Raveesh,

    U r doing a great job!!!

    Am very much interested in learning Tulu but, I have no friends with whom I can communicate with. As u know everything has to be practiced on daily basis to become perfect, all your inputs are so helpful but as I don’t get a chance to converse am forgetting the sentence after some time.

    I learnt Telugu in 3 months by watching Telugu channels. As there r no Tulu Channels available as of my knowledge am unable practice that way too. Could you please suggest a solution for my problem :(

    Awaiting your revert.
    Once again, U r really doing a great Job!!! Keep going, All The Best.

    You are right, there are no Tulu satellite channels. May be you can suggest me list of sentences in English which you want in Tulu, so that I can translate them.

    Hi Anju,

    Though there are no Tulu channels, Tulu comedy dramas are very popular. I think watching them would definitely help you in learning the language. You can go to youtube to find the same. Tulu Dramas in Youtube. Well I think you would get inspired if you see Aishwarya Rai speaking in Tulu. Here is the link for both the video and translation what she spoke in Tulu - Aishwarya Rai Speaking in Tulu

    Really a Good Blog on Tulu.

    Actually Tulu words are more bit similiar to Pure tamil words.

    In Ancient Tamil Literature, there were reference to Tulu and Tulunadu. This may be surprise..but you can search on net on this.

    Also one suggestion. can you add notes on Tulu Script.

    Hi surya, I think translating this to Kannada would make more sense. So here is the translation. If you need English translation let me know. First of all tulu dialect used here is not common one. This is spoken by Shivalli Brahmins. I am not an expert in that dialect. Anyway here is the translation "Yenu illa. Ade aaru naaku ashte. Nimmadenaadru vishesha ideya? Yenu maaduttiruve"

      Does malthondullar mean maadthidira? What's the meaning of yen maadthidya?

      yes malthondullar means maadtideera. yen maadthideeya -> daada maltondullar -> what are you doing?

      Hi Aparna,

      Did you mean translation? If so, "Maamigu Onji Kaala, Marmalegu Onji Kaala" literally translates to "There comes a time for the mother-in-law! Likewise there comes a time for the daughter-in-law"

      Maami - Mother-in-law
      Onji - One
      Kaala - Time
      Marmal - Daughter-in-law

      If it is the pronunciation you are interested in, I will try to add this sentence in the next audio upload.

      There is no direct equivalent of "good morning" in Tulu or for that matter, in any Indian language. It is usually translation from English's Good Morning.
      However, you can say "ee dina edde aavad" - equivalent of Good Day.
