Its driver time .... Gaadi Sariyagi vodisi....

After a section meant for dealing with house-wives, I now present the case of handling the rampant driver. Most of us would prefer a driver rather than drive our self in Bangalore's traffic, and yes the driver does not come cheap. I present before you a compilation of sentences that can be used with a driver in a few contexts. The next week I shall present a collation of all the words from the past 2 weeks for your referral.

DL idheyaa ? :: Do you have a Driving License ?

Yeshtu varsha Driving abhyasaa idhey ? :: How many years of driving experience do you have ?

Yeshtu SambhaLa bayku ? :: How much salary do you need ?

Yahoo ! (not the company) you've now got a driver, and he is driving you around, now the owner (back seat driver) would have the following lines to say quite frequently :)

Swalpa nidhaanavagi drive maadu... Drive a little slowly,
This sentence might prove useful if you are searching for a particular shop or parking place, or if you have a center mounted speedometer and you find the speed a little too uncomfortable

Hogi car-gay petrol thumbskondu baa :: Go and fill the car with petrol
Tip: Replace pertol with diesel if your car run on diesel

Ellay iru...naanu ondh nimishadhalli barthini :: Be here I will be back in a minute

Car clean aagi idabayku :: You have to keep the car clean
Clean is now a days an universal word, but in case you want the kannada word for clean here it is Swacchavagi

Ivathhu car VoLagaday clean maadu :: Clean the interiors of the car today

JagaLa maadbeda :: Don't fight

Swalpa gamana ittu gaadi vodisu :: Pay attention and drive.


Happy driving,
Inthi,
Manuswath
