known for their anglo-east-goan-indian accent, the indian catlics can speak fluent hindi, but in english! confused? well, to make it more clear, here are few examples:
a) hindi: hain na?
english: ya, no?
b) hindi: peete peete main talli ho gaya!
english: drinking drinking i got drunk!
c) hindi: neeche bhi khade they woh log!
english: down also they were standing!
d) hindi: ek fatka milega tereku.
english: one fatka you will get.
e) (anwering a phone call) hindi: hello...haan bol!
english: hello...haan tell!
f) (borrowing one rupee) hindi: ek rupiya hai?
english: 1 rupee is there?
it tickles you and never fails to amuse you, but one feels at home when one hears: "aye, what men, wey wey u yesterday night?" (aye, what man, where were you last night?). The genuine request to a 3-year-old: "give uncle a shake hand, baba" (these babas never grow up, i know a few 35-year-old babas). The customary question in the evening: "had khaana?", without which the khaana is so incomplete.
Examples aplenty, this unique language is so much a part of our culture today.
