Goanet meets in Goa: December 27, 12 noon and January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). See you there! ------------------------------
"Konkani xikunk zai, ulounk zai" or "Konknni bhas xikunk zai, ulounk zai" I prefer to write as above, as "Konkani" is a proper noun and "bhas" (language) is a noun where as "Konknni" is an adjective. example: 'Konknni bhas', 'Konknni pustok' Valuable comments are welcome please. Cip London -----Original Message----- Of Jorge/Livia de Abreu Noronha Sent: 12 December 2003 09:28 To: Goanet The following is taken from a post from Brian Mark Mendonca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> relayed by Bosco - Goanet Volunteer > >'Konkanim xikonng zai, ullongzai' said Dominican, Fr Agnel > Barbosa in his sermon, and urged Goans in Delhi to be inspired by the example of > St Francis Xavier who made the effort to learn Konkani though he was a Spaniard. > It would be good to learn more about "the example of St Francis Xavier who made the effort to learn Konkani though he was a Spaniard". Can anybody throw light and give examples of St. Francis Xavier's "effort to learn Konkani"? - And, while speaking about the Konkani language, the correct way of writing the above sentence would be "Konknni xikunk zai, ulounk zai".7 Jorge ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
