Re: [www.keralites.net] : Indian English

 

Dear group members....
This mail, most probably a forward, but definitely was put forward by someone with lot of effort. Appreciate ur humour.
But think about it....
If We our selves put down our country and people at every possible chance we get, who else will respect us and our motherland.
English is not our mother tongue, not in the whole of India with its multiple states and multi fold languages. Why r we taking pride in speaking a foreign language and degrading our own.
As such the west and other countries have looted and destroyed our nation which was the best in everything. They have divided our unity and instigated religious differences among us.
Do we need to continue doing the same to ourselves and our generations....we are looking at ourselves and our nation with disgrace.
Whose fault is it....they started it and we are still continuing it...
Let us stop forwarding such jokes about our country and our people. Let us start respecting ourselves and this nation.
Jokes can be shared among us which are common to all but not at the cost of our nation INDIA  nor our people...INDIANS....
LET US BUILD THIS NATION FOR OUR GENERATIONS TO COME. Give them the confidence that our nation was and still is the best country in the world.
Let us make the change what we expect.

English Phrases Used Only By Indians Which The World Knows Nothing About


 
 
English Phrases Popular In India Which The World Knows Nothing About
 
I know such English that I will leave the British behind. You see sir, I can talk English, I can walk English, I can laugh English, I can run English, because English is such a funny language.

1. What is your good name?

facebook twitter gplus mail
One of the most common of mistakes, this term simply means, 'What's your name?'. This is often a direct, word by word translation of the same phrase in Hindi, "Aapka shubh naam?". Shubh translates to good and most Indians translate the phrase without bothering to make alterations.
 
English Whirled Wide

2. I have a doubt.

facebook twitter gplus mail
While in the rest of the English world, to harbour a doubt is generally associated with doubting someone's ability, in India, to have a doubt means you have a question about something
 
English Whirled Wide

3. Passing out of college

facebook twitter gplus mail
The normal world uses 'graduation' or 'convocation'. Indian English makes it, "I passed out of my college." If you pass out in the US or Australia or the UK, you would probably be rushed to a hospital, not lauded.
 
English Whirled Wide

4. First-Class!

facebook twitter gplus mail
Indians refer to anything they like or that is really good as being 'first-class'. So anything from a movie to a pani-puri could be 'first-class' in the country.
 
English Whirled Wide

5. Do one thing.

facebook twitter gplus mail
Once again, literally translated from 'ek kaam kar', the term is used by Indians whenever they want someone to take up their advice and act in a particular way. Eg: Do one thing, cook cabbage soup for lunch today.
 
English Whirled Wide

6. Out of station.

facebook twitter gplus mail
Out of station = out of town. I'm out of station means I'm on a vacation or not in town. It does not mean you are out of a particular station or inside a particular station, like Harry Potter on Platform 9 3/4
 
English Whirled Wide

7. Prepone.

facebook twitter gplus mail
What do you do when you do not want to postpone a meeting but reschedule it ahead of it's intended time? Simple. You prepone it! Literally using the antonym for post-, Indians derived this simple way of stating something will happen ahead of time.
 
English Whirled Wide

8. Mother promise, father promise, God promise.

facebook twitter gplus mail
Used mostly by youngsters, these phrases offer a convenient way out of any tricky situation where the speaker does not really want to put himself/herself in danger by 'crossing his heart and dying'.
 
English Whirled Wide
 

9. Doing the needful.

facebook twitter gplus mail
We will do the needful. Only and only the needful. Nothing more, nothing less. 'Please do the needful' is a common request which simply asks the person to finish the task.
 
English Whirled Wide

10. Like that only.

facebook twitter gplus mail
We might be punny or phunny but we are like that only! We only add only at the end of sentences. Or at the start of them. Or anywhere we want. So we will talk like this only. Problem much?
