This is because of very slow Konkani's development Anyway if you would like to learn the correct translation, read below:-
Fausto Vivian Wrote: There seem to be so many variants to the same words used in daily discourse, that I find it confusing and exasperating. For example: "Here" in English - Is it Anga, Angor, Ing, Inga or Ikde ? HANGA (H is silent) "Down" in English - Is it Sokla or Khalla ? KHALA (Sokol is also used) Is a "Knife" in English - Suri or Piscati ? SURI "There" in English - is it Thuim, Tinga, Ting or Tikde THOIM "I am going" in English - is it "Aum Voita" or "Aum Vetam" ? HANV VETAM Is the correct way of saying "How are you ?" in Konkani, "Tu koho hai ?" or "Tu kosso assa ?" TUM KOSO ASA? There are a lot of other words, and idioms that dont come to mind at the moment. Perhaps some GoaNetters could set me straight, so that I can speak my beloved "Maim bhas" correctly. Vivian A.
