I came across this letter in the 'Examiner' . Indeed, Konkani is a 'God's Language'. One can learn konkani faster thru prayers.
Eddie Verdes Jeddah/KSA --------------- I would like to make certain observations regarding the Mysteries of the Rosary in the English language as compared with the Konkani language. For instance, the 1st Joyful Mystery in English is said in one word: “The Annunciation”. Now, let us compare it with the Konkani language. 1. Poilo Mister: “Boddvea Gabrielan Ankvar Moriek Khobor dili ki Devacho Put tichea khushveant zolmotolo munn ani tinnem hem aikon, bhou sontosbhorit zali”. Here the whole mystery is unveiled before the faithful and they can reflect on it while reciting the first decade. I, therefore, suggest that the leader while announcing the first decade “Annunciation” in English also explains in short the mystery before beginning to recite the 10 Hail Marys, etc. 2. Sorrowful Mysteries: 1st Mystery: The Agony in the Garden. Poilo Mister: Swamia Jezu Christ Gethsemanichea Molleant Orassaum cortanam rogot ummelo amchea patkam passot. Vodd dukh bogli Ankvar Moriek. 3. Glorious Mysteries: a. The 1st Mystery: The Resurrection. Poilo Mister: Swamia Jezu Christ tisre dissa melleleantlo jivont zalo. Vodd orok boglo Ankvar Moriek. I am not pointing out that the Konkani language is better but certain things are very striking in this so-called “God’s language”. For instance: Good Morning - Reply : Good Morning Dev boro diss dium - Reply : Jezu borem korum Thank you - Reply : Don’t mention, its alright Dev borem korum - Reply : Tukaim korum Felix A.
