Concani swear words have an raw ero*ic expressiveness about them no? (talking of the spoken language in Salcette). The way its spoken can change meanings by tone. One often thinks of all the derogatory s^xual reaferences in Concani are uttered with so much expression, they **** get the blood pressure going *wink, wink*.
As well, its ways of expressing ordinary everyday conversations, the language is sophisticated even. A Delli friend said she did not get much sleep....had my response been in Concani, one would have said, "did you go stealing coconuts." The Ingleesh response would have been a tame, "oh, really?"

Folgollem= Kolug = bitch (as in a d*g)- never used on a human, like in French. raand baail= widow randul (adj)= widow, but a wee derogatory sense (like, gossipy unhappy widow) raa-nd-ii (indi)=pr*stitute Luk what you done to me Senor Fernandes: I have to queue at the confessional tomorrow morning! gnatius Fernandes <[email protected]> wrote: > I know very well that Domnic is an authority on Konkani and it's usage > when he explained to Selma about the differences between a prostitute > being called a 'cheddi and a widow being called a rannd bhaile. > What are the explanation for these konkani words, please explain it to me > Kolwont,Pamprell, Folgollem, and a Kolug the last one I know what it means. > Ignatius Fernandes. > > > >
