http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg83156.html In Konknni what it means is this. Jia munxeank tanchi avoibas soddun English ulovnk zai tanni sarki English xikpachi ani ulovpachi dhasdus korunk zai. Komitkomi tanni aaplea bhurgeank bori English xikovnk zai. Here is a general suggestion that I would like to make to those who want to know what I or anybody else is saying on any topic on Goanet. Upkar korun Goanetacher ami kitem boroilam tajer Mukhel Karmachari Noronyache kainch aikunaka. Tajem borovop visvas dovorpa sarkem kennach nasta.
