Hey Rico, Hey M&M & all SaligaoNetters, Glad to note that some of us are in agreement with this way of increasing our Konkani vocabulary, maintaining solidarity as Goenkars aside from being Saliganvkars! Cant vouch for the rest of the Netters of course - would not presume nor predict - ...hick!

Ok M&M! I second that - the word a day "project" .... better late than never eh? Rico has been kind enough to continue - we have reached the "E" - I miss reading my late grandmother's Konkani newspaper (with her help I learnt Konkani even though I knew zit at the beginning - Africanders & all that blah as you would have known it but no excuse anyway) - I have forgotten the name of the paper as I am talking about the 1960's & 1970's but it sounded like Vaddancho Ixtt or something like that. I bet Daniel can enlighten us! > > Why did anyone not think of this brainwave "EA ADIM ere this, > before"? > > Rico, please carry this regularly "EA FUDDEM henceforth", if > possible, amongst all your other labours for Goa.

Oh & M&M, please dont under estimate yourselves & ourselves - we are all doing quite well with our Mothertongue (despite not having a formal education let alone MoI........kudos?)...not as well as Daniel & others of course...no comparison eh? > > All of us "SANGATACHO associate" Saligao lovers > are "ECA CALLACHO contemporary, > ECA GAUNCHO fellow countrymen and women, > ECA JINSACHO alike", > but thankfully not "ECA ROGTACHO consanguineous"! ;-) > > So, let us "ECANNEM altogether", > and very "ECBAT m fast", > be "ECA-MONACHO resolute" > and "ECA-MECACHO, -I, -EM, mutually, co-operative", > not "ECA-MECAR one above the other" > and live "ECA VOGTAR happily" ever after, > but refrain from too much of "ECACHE ECVIS ZAUNC to increase and > multiply!" ;-) Why? isnt this what we have to do with regard to our mothertongue & isnt it the underlying reason for the word a day project? .... increase our vocabulary & multiply with regard to the number of "existing" Saliganvkars & Goenkars "knowing" or "learning" the mothertongue?

I do not believe that one needs to apologise for having an opinion & airing it! At the risk of repeating myself, each has a right to his/her opinion.... one can agree to disagree anytime. Well at least one good thing came of this PS of yours.... my vocabulary increased!!! But these silly smileys arent working for you nor for me. grrh! A click & they flash on screen but are off just as quickly - something wrong somewhere. oh oh, they are back! Great! I was sort of wondering if God did make me a bit dumb when it came to modern technology! > > PS2...and positively our second-last "rambling" one...definitely > *not* an "after thought"...this one is pre-meditated!: Annette, > thanks for being so positive and gracious in your reply.

"Activist" eh? I pounced on this word as it takes me back to the Bahrain as was 3 months ago with very active activists having their "say" & "do".... to the detriment of most of us. > > PS3: ...and yes, very "ECA VOGTAR happily", *mog asun, chod ani chod!* :-) ok ok! seems you like the PS in threes - noted too! The "asun" is with an "n"? thought it was with an "m"...... as noted in the copy book of proxy grandson...... Daniel, need your help please........ But still confused anyway, what need of PS when subject matter could be included in original mail?
