Re: language

Hi Huma.....Pushpa butting in :tongue

I don't watch Rajnikanth movies. Some how I don't like his loud mannerisms and gaudy make up. Forgive me if I had uppset you. My favorite hero used to be chiranjeevi before he started using his hairpiece. Due to not many telugu dvd not having subtitles all our desi movie watching tends to get limited to hindi movies except when only me & DH watch.

Padma amazing that even you don't know thigh in hindi...it is at the tip of my tongue but cant get it. Now-a-days it is happening to a lot of telugu words to me.

Yes i remember:2thumbsup: (i think)

thigh = jaandh (jaa n dh)
