Hi, there are people from many different countries here at HF. So It would be nice to learn some basic words in as many languages as possible.

Nice if these sentences could be shared:

Hi!
How are you?
My name is:

I can start by sharing these short sentences in Norwegian:
Hi! - Hei
How are you? -Hvordan går det? (å is pronounced as "o" in bobby)
My name is: - Jeg heter xxx / mitt navn er xxx

Deepji...so far my knowledge is concerned the Konkani language is used in Karnataka, Mangalore etc.

Obviously Nimii will be able to say more about this....

Jaaini ka matlab Konkani mein kya hota hai? Koi bata sakte ho?

Jaaini ka bengali mein matlab hota hai "I didn't go"..

cool, I have finally learned some Bengali, only thing I knew in Bengali was amitomake bhalo bashi

Posted by: Nimii Jun 6 2006, 06:02 PM

Deep if you see the way you have put.. then all of India has mixed languages.. coz of migratory movement of ppl.

Nope Konkani is confined mostly to Goa and Karnataka only.
