Directions for the way to go

Its that time of the year and there are ample holidays . For all of my friends who are going to venture out in Karnataka, here is a way you could ask for directions from kannada speaking people, and how you can interpret what they are saying.

Mysoregay yaava daariyalli hogabayku? : Which route do you have to take to reach Mysore : Replace Mysore with any destination of your choice.

Some words that depict direction or common words that might be used are as follows

Seedha/Nayra : go straight
Yedagaday : Left
Balagaday : Right
Hindhey : Back
Mundhey : Front
Volagay : Inside
Horagay : Outside
Thirugi : take a turn or a semi circle
Uttara : North
DakshiNa : South
Purva : East
Paschima : West
Maylay : Top
KeLagaday : Below

Happy travelling

Inthi,
Manuswath
