I think so. And you shouldn't use "is" twice in that sentence.

Praying for something implies that, despite God's omniscience, he doesn't already know what you want.

"what was your name?" or "what is your name?"

Aussies use the sentence "what was your name?" even when the person is asking the other person's name for the first time. Am I missing something here?

Anand_n:

Maybe mistaking alpha for elephant - try A for apple next time 3



No, they listen to the pronunciation and assume that it is one of Latin names. Apple/Alpha/America.. nothing matters to them.
As an example, for Gari, they always type Gary as that's what they are used to.
Office lo Raghava (not the name) ani chepte, RayGhava ani vallaki valle correct chestaru... Adoka malokam.

Swayamkrushi:






Ramudu Kukkanu Kottaadu
Subject - Object - Verb

English
Ramudu hit the dog
Subject - Verb - Object


In some basic ways, speaking English is an acquired habit with these kind of differences.

But I dont think if a Telugu guy moves to Tamil Nadu or Maharashtra or UP will find it very different since underlying grammar, sentence constructs, idioms etc are more or less the same.

Glue works in the US. Adhesive is more of a technical term.


The common cringe worthy sentence I hear is "I like that only" or "he only said it". There is no special word for emphasizing a word in english. You can say "I really like that thing" or " He was the one who said it" something like that.

Dude lo take out first D out F

That’s how Americans pronounce Food

Again I’m unsure if there’s actually any real rule of thumb in this

Aussies Brits and Americans all have considerable variations

In England they call

Renaissance = REN NAY SANS

USA

Renaissance = REN NAH SANS

Musafir:

Sullied or adulterated or used


these are not exact meanings of 'engili'...adulterated is mixing something and making it not original...sullied is more for tarnishing a good name/character...can't be used for food...used is most generic

I've heard there is no direct meaning for 'engili' like in telugu or 'Jhuta' in hindi which we used for food/spoon etc

Krishnaveni:

Do westerners worry about their Telugu skills




No. Because telugu not a global language. English is.


Krishnaveni:

I think desis should stop using English as a benchmark of ones competence even though English is a universal language




No one is saying that writing good English is a measure of one's competence. The thread is specifically about the mistakes we make on a daily basis in English. If you are not interested in it or feel a good grip of English is not required to succeed in this world, you can just ignore this thread. :-) The point of thread is not to debate whether English is a measure of one's success or competence.

That depends on your location with respect to the item/subject you are referring to . If you are at office, you say " i will take my computer home". If you are at home, you say "I will bring my computer home"

English evvariki first language kaadhu ikkada. Some of us struggle every day with the language. What are the top 5 mistakes you normally end up doing (from a grammar perspective?)

IN case you don't make any mistakes and are comfortable with English, this thread is not for you. :-) Just ignore.

My list.

1. Using Perfect tenses where simple tenses suffice and vice versa
2. Using Telugu phrases - literally translated.
3. Having a terrible vocabulary. (Hence not using the right words.)
4. Not dealing with lists properly (This, that and those kind of sentences)
5. Not using idioms correctly.

Inkonni unnaayi. Off vs Of, Everyday Vs Every Day, Someday Vs Some day, Eventhough Vs Even Though etc.

What is the best way to fix these things? Reading more is not helping actually. Mallee Wren and Martin theesi page by page chadivithe use untundhaa? Lekapothe English grammar classes lo enroll (another one enroll vs enrol) avvadam better aa?

This is purely from a written English point of view. Spoken is worse. Adhi completely gone case ani vadilesaa.
