You know Swalpa now its time for Thumbha & jaasthi

Yes,
Swalpa kannada learn maadi, means try and learn a little bit of kannada,
so how does one say try and learn a lot of kannada, its easy

Thumbha kannada learn maadi or kannada jaasthi jaasthi barathey/baruthey (for people conversing with Kannadiga’s from Mangalore)

Both these words are used to imply the concept of many/much/more/a lot.
Some popular contexts where they can be used.

Nanagay jaasthi beku ( I want a lot) :- Can be used when you want to get something in bulk
Oota thumbha channagidhey (Food is very good) :- Used in appreciating a good meal
Saakaa athava innu jaasthi beka ?(Is it enough or do you want more) :- after serving a little and asking if the recipient wants more

Before signing off Let me show of a small kannada word which could be used instead of Thanks & regards

Inthi,
Manuswath
