Congrats Basilio Magno for your patient work in teaching the goanet English
speakers some simple ways of learning Konknni in roman script.
One of the situations in which most toddlers in Konknni are bowled clean is
the translation of "I" and "me". For instance, why "mhaka zai" and not "hanv
zai" (= I need)? There exist several other such typical Konknni
constructions.
