Besides 'manna ho tum' by yesudas, Ritin Manna... How about 'janna Ganna Manna adinna..'
Also, 'Gagreachem Manna' song by Alfred & Rita Rose. I think the song goes like this.. Rita: Vatten aum choltana, bazarant bhountana, chedde fiunnio ghaltai fiu, fiu (background whistling fiu, fiu) joe Konkani: In konkani, just Mana will do instead of 'Manna' but in the abv context, it is left as Manna (the original) just for fun purpose. 'The use & sound of D, L, N, T v/s DD, LL,NN, TT' Some words are commonly mis-spelt. e.g. dolle (and not dole) (eyes) Polle is not equal to pole (Polle=to see, pole=cheeks) Mannik (and not manik) (diamond) Mitt (and not mit) (salt) Using single letter iso double letter or vice versa, sometimes, it can go/sound horribly wrong. e.g. Hoddo/Foddo (bald) Hodo/Fodo ?? (naughty joe) Here is some home work for you, do come back on Goanet or Pvtly. keep the Subject as 'konkani' How wud u write this English words/sounds in Konkani? To, do, go, door, top, toddy, nun, nuts. Translate this English into Konkani:with correct spellings (as above) Prayer, water, milk, money, heart, clean, sky, truth, way, warning, my share, hapiness. Dont worry, if u cant write them all, even a few will do but do give a try. Thanks for participation, joe Note: I am not a konkani Scholar & I cud b wrong.
