Naanu v/s Neenu

Namaskaragalu,
Moving over from words referring to items, let’s move on to words that refer to people.

Naanu:
This is the word for “I”/ ”Me” in kannada.
It can be used in the following contexts

I did it :- Naanu MaaDdhey
I wont do it :- Naanu MaaDolla

There is this Kannada film which is titled “Naanu Naanay” (Incidentally a remake of Raja Hindustani) which means “I myself”

Neenu:
This is the word for “You” in kannada

It can be used in the following context
You do it :- Neenu MaaDu
You don’t do it :- Neenu MaaDabeda


Yeah!! now you would have also learnt a few word’s along with Naanu and Neenu lets recap MaaDu (means do) BeDa (dont want) Naanay (myself).
And In case you want to create a little bit of confusion, name somebody “Naanu” and then when ever they create any sort of trouble, guess who will be caught !!!…well the person who reports the complaint
