We all Nepali are all just "WANNA BE"

I have been watching the Nepali TV and I JUST HATE ONE THING.

That they just speak half English and Half Nepali. why the hell don't they either speak pure Nepali or Pure English. Speaking half and half just sounds soooo cheap.

And when I am in nepal, I just hate those kids who just shout "Mummy, Mummy" What the hell is wrong with the word "आमा " ?

people in Kathmandu are nothing but all just wannabe......

whtever sometimes its hard especially if u r used to speaking english 23/6 and u wanna speak nepali when u meet nepali ppl(cuz nepali ppl like u think that when someone speaks english that means that they are like showing off or trying to be cool) which is not true at all) cuz english just comes out just like taht for me doesnt mean u r a wanna be
and i call my mom mummy too cuz thats wht they taught me when i was little ani ama bhaneni mummy bhaneni ma bhaneni its the same thing

Lakhe you picked up the exact point that I was feeling while watching nepali tv on the net these days. I was also so much surprised with those half english and nepali conversations and programs.


it looks like most of the programs are only watched by ktm people.

i am not from terai but i call "mai" to my mum like people from terai do

so? be a hater...
who gives a crap?

Language is changing every day and every minute. You simply can't help it and neither does anybody. For example.....do think President George Washington would understand what Snoop is talking about...although its considered English. In my humble opinion I don't think he would even get half the stuff what that ni**a is talkin about.

"Hence, from ages language has just trickled down and formed into a dilect that only a certain community can comprehend."

And whoever you are, Nepali or English......I don;t think you can comprehend if someones talks to you in what you call pure nepali or ancient english.

Therefore, live with it.....first listen to how you talk before you judge the other. I guess you wouldn't find significantly different.

Thats the lesson for the day.
Thank you.
Che....

don't hate half-nepali+half-english speaking tv anchors... After all, that culture has given us chance to see half-nepali+half-swimsuit dressers too! wooohoooo....... I am lovin' it.

I don't care if people speak half-english or half-nepali but when they try to show off by trying to copy the accent, its really irritating...

Moreover, they aren't fluent in english either, but still try to show that they are...damnn a shame on us all...we can speak better english....

"In my humble opinion I don't think he would even get half the stuff what that ni**a is talkin about."
My my Che, you should know better than to use the "N" word.

Lakhee, you brought up an imp. discussion, I call my mom "Ama" although I was taught otherwise. But you called the people in ktm wannabes. Aren't we all wannabes in one way or the other? Even the Nepalis here lose the accent over years and talk with American accent. Are you saying that we should stick to the Nepali accent forever?

Just thoughts! Criticism is gladly accepted.

I really don't have an opinion on people speaking half english and half nepali in one sentence, but those Nepali rap or hip hop are totally ridiculous, seriously.

Meera......Meera....Meera,
Those would be the word that Prez Washington would use.....I was just bringing it to the surface. They call themselves and ofcourse they "Nig**s" call us "Nig**s" if you are bit close to them....if you don;t believe ask anyone. Anyways, that's not a derogatory word anymore if colored people use against each other that includes us. Well quit that....why you hating on others' music.....rock n' roll came and went now hip hop and rap is in the main stream.....so that how it is....will you still hate if nepali lok geet comes into main stream?

By the way, I like your comment bibas100

hareeeee, there are other more imp issues in life and this world.

Gossiping is what I hate about Nepalese.

Che calling an African American by the "N" word and see what happens :p

NEPALI hip hop is my music too coz I happen to be a Nepali but it just sounds so ridiculous. Have u heard that song "bounce bounce", I didn't even see one singer actually bounce, for 2 secs some people did bounce a ball, but if the song said the bounce word a million times, one would think they would bounce more than 2 secs.
Sorry, I just find it funny, hehe.

I hear you swatantragaamy: Gossip is what I hate too...about nepalese and it gets worst after they come to America for some reason;

And Meera, well I am sorry if I offended you but hey I know what you sayin...they need to bounce more than that huh....or bounce their way out. hehehehe

Thank you all for you nice and not so nice comments. Every one has the right to say what they think and how they feel, and this is what I have done.

The matter of the word “AMA” against “Mummy”,
Let me make one thing clear to you all, that mummy is ‘NOT’ a Nepali word; it is migrated from the west, even though you addressed your mother “Mummy” as far as you can remember.

Different parts of the country with different background and cultures have their own way of addressing their mother ie. “AMA”, “Mua”, “Mamu”, “Mai” and so on, but these words are from inside our own borders and are suited to our own cultures.

I was born up in the hills and I always address my mother “AMA”, and to be honest I feel very proud and different kind of joy to shout “AMA” among those people who are shouting “Mummy”. And I will teach my kids to address their mother “AMA” no mater where I am.

City people migrated the word “Mummy”, to bring their so called class status high. They think that calling “AMA” is very backwards, Pahaade, uneducated Gaule pakhe and low class thing, Not realizing that they actually are neglecting our own culture and decreasing their way of thinking to so low life parasite and sitting high and sucking the blood of those Uneducated Gaule Pakes. This is what is wrong with our society and our country.
But let me just stop here in the topic of class, I was talking about Mother, no need to drag her into this, and remember people it is “Nepal AMA”, not “Nepal Mummy”.

The matter of language.
Yes language develops by time and generation, but how about developing our own language with our own words, instead of migrating English words in Nepali language, this isn’t called development, if you say that it is then, something is wrong with you.
Yes Snoop dogg and afro Americans speaks slang, but they use English slang.

I am not saying that we should stop speaking English just because we have an accent; the whole world speaks English with an accent. English is the mother tongue of England, USA was invaded by Europeans from countries, and the common language became English and there came an American accent, so accent is not a problem.

Using English words in between Nepali language does not prove you are well educated, that just proves that you are and idiot who can’t even speak your own language properly, and doesn’t even know what it is called in your own language. So just using English words in between does not make you educated and higher class. I respect that person who speaks Nepali without any English word in between, and that person inspires me a lot.

If you can’t speak English properly or have an accent so what, We are Nepali and we have our own Mother tongue. (Not Mummy tongue).

I also hate those politicians who doesn’t know how to speak English and try to speak English, even I as a Nepali sometime have difficulty understanding their English, and feel shame that such an idiot is representing US to the world. Why the hell don’t they just speak Nepali instead and hire an interpreter, at least one unemployed Nepali will get a job.
Beside there are lot of other countries leaders who speak their own language and they have interpreter to translate to English.

I like these Comments of yours Lakhee:

--> "Yes language develops by time and generation, but how about developing our own language with our own words, instead of migrating English words in Nepali language, this isn’t called development"

--> "Using English words in between Nepali language does not prove you are well educated, that just proves that you are and idiot who can’t even speak your own language properly"

-->"just using English words in between does not make you educated and higher class"

I AM IN TROUBLE NOW. I HAVE NOTICED MYSELF TALKING IN ENGLISH WHILE TALKING IN NEPALI GROUP. BUT IT IS SPONTANEOUS. AM I AN IDIOT? MY INTENTIONS ARE NOT TO SO OF. IT JUST COMES OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. SOMETIMES I RUN OUT OF WORDS IN NEPALI AND THEN I HAVE TO SPEAK IN ENGLISH. BUT I AM GETTING BETTER AT TALKING PURE NEPALI LATELY.
I THINK IT ALL DEPENDS UPON WHERE ARE YOU AT AND WHAT YOU DO. WHEN I USED TO BE OUT OF HOME FOR 16 HOURS IN A DAY (SCHOOL AND WORK) ENGLISH WAS THE LANGUAGE THEN. NOW BEING HOME MORE OFTEN AND ATTENDING NEPALI GROUPS MORE OFTEN HAS MADE ME TALK MORE NEPALI THAN ENGLISH IN NEPALI GROUPS. BUT ENGLISH STILL SLIPS OUT OUT OF NOWHERE SOMETIMES.
STILL I CALL MY MOM - MAA AND DAD- BUWA.
MOST OF THE SAJHA USERS ARE I THINK ARE NOT IN NEPAL. WHEN THEY SEE NTV ANCHOR BLENDING NEPALI AND ENGLISH TOGETHER, THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT. BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN NEPAL MAY MISS NEPAL AND ITS CULTURE AND THE SEWEETNESS OF NEPALI WORDS MORE THAN THE PEOPLE IN NEPAL. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE NEPALI VIEWERS IN NEPAL TO ADJUST IN THAT KIND OF LINGO, WHERE WE THINK IT'S AN INVASON OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

ANYWAYS NEPALI IS THE SWEETEST LANGUAGE IN THE EARTH. AT LEAST IT IS TO ME!

JATI JANYO NEPALI - KAIDA
UTI FAIDA.

JAI HOS!

Nepali rap or hip hop are totally ridiculous, seriously.

NEPALI hip hop is my music too coz I happen to be a Nepali but it just sounds so ridiculous. - Meera
