Tum Kya Kar Rahe Ho?

This is one of the most frequently asked sentence in any Indian language - and Kannada is no different. The green boxes above ask this question in Kannada (translation below, smaller font - in Hindi).

The answers below in the two end gray boxes are common - just replace any word in the middle - for the appropriate activity.

E.g:
Neenu yenu maadta idiya?

Naanu bartaa iddini.
Naanu hOgta iddini.




















When someone asks you "Neenu yenu maaDtidya?" and you don't know what to
fit in between "Naanu" and "iddini", for example if you are driving, just substitute
the English verb - in this case, "drive"!

Naanu drive maadta iddini.
Naanu browse maadta iddini.

Just like it is in Hindi. Simple, isnt it? Thats the reason behind the blank space before
"maadta" above.

We'll ask more questions and answers this way - all in a while! Meanwhile, enjoy learning!
