Malayalam- Kannada mix! LOL!






NOTE: This blog is for only Mallus( Malayalees) with a little (teeny tiny)  bit of understanding of the Kannada language.

I am no pundit in the Kannada language, being a Mallu myself , but thanks to my friends and my good listening skills I have picked up a lot of Kannada phrases other than the infamous ‘kannada gothilla!’ ( I can take a bet any outsider in Bangalore will know this phrase!) .  

Learning new languages is a skill and I appreciate those who make an attempt to do so but this chat log between my friend and her friend ( both Mallus ) was really funny that I had to put it down somewhere for further reference J  . ( Btw I have copyrights for this and I swear I did not make this conversation up!)  

Anyways the chat log was as follows -

( P.S : Lets call my friend Mallu 1 and her friend Mallu 2. )
