I
don't know where this usage of a concoction of languages by kids, in
their formative years, is heading up to!!!!!
Prithvi says, "Lock chesi paadu, amma!" while asking me to sing the classical music with 'taalam'. "Ouch! Naaku debba tagilindi", says Kaka, 'talk cheyyaku', 'beat cheyyaku', 'bring cheyyanaa?'.........endless combinations of English, Telugu and Hindi. They are in a hurry to put all their vocabulary into use!!
Even more mesmerised with their newly acquired English skills. One gets to hear strange usage of verbs, prepositions and true translations ('Amma! Please close the door, I should wear the ball' to convey that he has to throw the ball)! Thoroughly enjoying their expressions and reliving the fun my parents used to have when I was that young!!!!
