Despite being born, brought up and living in Goa I must shamefully admit that my vocabulary in Konkani is disgraceful. This probably is the result of having studied in an English medium school and having had friends and associates for whom English is a first language. I speak Konkani fluently (i.e. my grammar and pronunciation is correct) but often don't know the exactly correct word and use the English equivalent. In the past few years I have learnt more Konkani words (and correctly used and explained too) from these Cyber Forums than from real life here in Goa. Cecil P.S. Of course the North Goan Konkani makes much more sense but.... ===== Fuddem (?) uloi, bhieta konnank?
