Chodd Deu borem korum tuca Sr.Teotonio Bab.
'I am going to GOA' = 'Hanv Goeam vetam'
As far as my konknni knowledge is concerned, you are
right. You deserve first prize (I also remember, you
were the winner of my other posting on Goanet viz
'Kator re bhaji' Congratulations. Keep it up.
Amche maim-bhaxen tujerui vodlem besanv galum.
======= Goenkar=Goemkar ===========
Tum 'Goeam' vetai? zalear tum 'Goemkar'?
"Gibert, khuim re ganv tuzo 'Goeam'?"
Na re, hanv 'Bombaimkar'.
======================================
A small note to the Critics:
By quoting or reposting somebody else's posts etc
Let's not try to make the issue sensitive.
It will only help others to guess what catagory of
'Goemkars' you belong to.
Finally, any body interested in any more konkani
lessons? (not on Goanet, offcourse, some people get
offended).
Thanks for your time.

Replying to Joe:
Hanv Goeam vetam (= I am going to Goa)
Hanv Goeam vochona (= I am not going to Goa). I see no
need of using a
final *m* after *na*.
Jaime de Mello was doing a good job of teaching
Konkani to Goans on
web. I am glad Joe has taken up the task now!
Konknni maim-bhas Joecher aplem besaum ghalum!
