Namaskaragalu,
I will not start of by explaining what Namaskaragalu is, but will jump onto the 2 most common words that any person who has been in Bangalore for some amount of time, would have learnt. For those sort of people let this post be a refresher and for the really fresh/innocent its time you started using it.
Baralla : Lets start off with this.
You want to take an auto to Meenakshi temple in Bannerghata road and you ask an auto driver if he is willing to come Pat comes a reply Baralla.
Baralla can be used in the following context’s
I wont come : “Naanu Baralla”
Dont know kannada: “Kannada Baralla”
And as a reply to an interogative question: Do you know Driving :-> a simple “Baralla” with a shake of a head would do.
Barathey
Ask any person of the first category i mentioned above if they know kannada and they will reply “Kannada Swalpa Swalpa barathey”
barathey lietrally means “will come”
swalpa swalpa literally means “little little”
Barathey can be used in the following context’s
As a reply to a question for E.g Is the cab coming? “Barathey”
Inthi,
Manuswath
