This is a small incident that happened. Thought I would share it. I had to go to nearby shop a cute little Alpha kid (Alpha Mat. Hr. School :P) was there. He was a nerd by look and might have been in his third std. This is how it went. The English transliteration is without brackets and you will find its meaning within brackets…
- Kid: Anna, adhu evlo? (Hey bro, how much is that?)
- Shopkeeper: (some amount)
- Kid: pointing at some pouch adhu thanga.(show me that)
-
He was pointing at some transparent pouch and asked for it. The shopkeeper was rummaging through the pile of pouches. This boy thought he would help and uttered..
- Kid: yen thambi vechirkamadhri irkla.. adha thanga.. ( I asked for the pouch that’s similar to what my brother has )
-
This made the shopkeeper and me laugh. :))
- Shopkeeper: laughing yenaku yepdi pa theriyum? ( How will I know?)
If you didn’t find it mirthful, there is some serious problem with my way of describing things :P
