It is actually Vinod's idea to start such a thread. Just a difference that I am starting this one, on behalf of him. :)
Let us learn some simple and common words of some languages. I think, we can get only Indian words.
As life is a big canvas of different colours, let us start our learnings with different shades of colours.
I am quoting some colours giving meaning in English. Please add your word in your mother tongue. I think, by this way, we can learn at least 7-8 languages. Am I not right?
I am starting with colours. After sometime, another member should start another set of words in his language and we people give its word in our mother tongue. Hoping this thread will continue as a game and not dissappear from our forum very soon.

@Swetha

It's really fascinating to know that some words are so common in both Konkani and Bengali - with just a little variation! In Bengali we say - Tumi Kothatheke Ashcho? - Where are you coming from?

Apni kothatheke aschen ( To elders and more respectable)
Theeke Bolche Dada, This really is so similar. I am enjoying this.
yes, some of the languages are similar one. Swetha has provided us konkani sentences but they are similar to orria language to
