Hope someone can help me to get some insights in to the K culture. :)

- Two good and related words. Destiny = ඉරණම Pronounced as : Ira-nama One word is broken in to 2 sub parts so its easier for you to figure out how to pronounce it. Samsara = සංසාර Pronounced as : sa(ng)-sa-ra in Sinhalese Samsara is not an English word. as a matter of fact its not even originally Sinhalese. its a ancient word used in various religions in india to explain the concept of one's journey through the time which has no beginning nor end. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%E1%B9%83s%C4%81ra All the best in your Samsara ... ~_^0 votedFebruary 24, 20120
- මම ටිරාජ් , මට කිසිම අද්යාපනයක් නැහැ. මම බෝට්ටුවේ ඔස්ට්රලියාවට ඇවිල්ල දැන් හැංගිලා කියක් හරි හොයාගන්නවා. බස් වල ටිකට් කඩනවා. වතු උදලු ගානවා. මිදී ගස් බඩගාලා මිදී වලු බානවා. තැපැල් කන්තෝරුව ගාව දිව දික් කරන් ඉන්නවා. බඩ වැටි සුද්ද කොරනවා.. ඔය කි නොකී හැම දේම කරනවා ගතමන්ට් එක හොයා ගන්න. ^_^0 votedFebruary 17, 20120
- Ohhh , nice discussion was going on while i was not around.... Hmmmm , can someone fall in love with someone who she/he has never met ? Well , it depends on what love really is .... What is it ?? No one knows for sure... Since the beginning of human race scientists , doctors , philosophers , emperors , lovers with broken hearts Etc .... tried to define it tried to understand it ... but did anyone succeed ??? I doubt so .. It is magical and has no boundaries ... when one state something can be done/ cannot be done he states that with in His boundaries . Love is boundless and it knows no reasoning nor conformity. Is plenty of communication important ??? Well to get to know someone yes ... but to fallen in love .. No not at all .... Is physical “stuff” important ??? Well for infatuation ... yes ... to fallen in love ... No Sometimes love takes ages to blossom .. but sometimes it only takes a glance ... Can it happen online ?? Well , how come the communication medium matters ??? I remember seeing many old stories of people falling in love by exchanging snail mails. (pen pals) Is beauty important ? Yes looks plays a major role for the initial peer bonding stage because it tempt the other party to pay attention And to get to know the person. But if you have already gone through that stage and enjoys the communication With each other then the looks doesn’t play a major role. Can go on like this .... But the point is .. Yes .. anything is possible ... ^_^0 votedJanuary 12, 20120
- How to say Merry Christmas and a Happy new year in Sinhala Konnichiwa mina-san ආයුබෝවන් සැමට Hello there folks from all around the globe. Lets see how to say Merry Christmas and a Happy new year in Sinhala. Sinhala is the official language spoken by Srilankans.... in Srilanka That is for for those who doesn't know. Merry Christmas ---------------------- In sinhala instead of using the word merry we use the word prosperous prosperous - subha - සුභ Christmas - nath-tha-lak - නත්තලක් be - vewa - වේවා So : Merry Christmas Subha nath-tha-lak vewa සුභ නත්තලක් වේවා Happy new year ---------------------- In sinhala instead of using the word Happy we use the word lucky/blissful blissful - wasanaa-wantha - වාසනාවන්ත new - nava - නව year - vasara - වසර be - weva - වේවා So: Happy new year wasanaa-wantha nava vasara(k) weva වාසනාවන්ත නව වසරක් වේවා In here (k) is the topic highlighter So go on folks .. use it for your Srilankan friend/ partners on these 2 days and give them surprise. ^_^December 23, 201111
- I – mama - මම Will never - kavadavath - කවදාවත් Do Forget – amathaka karanne - අමතක කරන්නේ No – naa - නෑ You – oya - ඔයා (for the) Rest of my life – jeevath venakam - ජීවත් වෙනකම් Mama oya va jeevath venakam kavadavath amathaka karanne naa මම ඔයාව ජීවත් වෙනකම් කවදාවත් අමතක කරන්නේ නෑ In here “va” is a topic marker... as “wa” in Japanese. "wa" is used to show contrast or to emphasize the subject. Translating this back to English , it sounds like .. I , you till (I) live will forget never. ^_^0 votedDecember 21, 20110
- Sorry – kanagatyi – කණගාටුයි Really – bohoma - බොහොම I - mama - මම For me – mata – මට So theoretically, it should be I’m really sorry – mata bohoma kanagatuyi – මට බොහොම කණගාටුයි But hold on.... Life is not that sweet... ^_^. In Sinhala, while speaking one doesn't say “I’m really sorry” You can use this sentence “I’m really sorry” - “mata bohoma kanagatuyi” in a situation where if you want to express your sympathy towards someone … As in – Im really sorry (for You). In Sinhala when one wants to say sorry for a mistake one has done , What they say is “I request your pardon” When we translate it to English back word by word it becomes “As for me, be forgiving” So As for me – mata – මට Pardon – sama – සමා Be - venna – වෙන්න So the correct way to ask for forgiveness/saying sorry is: I request your pardon - Mata sama venna - මට සමා වෙන්න mata - මට - can me omitted as in Japanese "vathashi" and life becomes very sweet indeed. Just use "sama venna" in any situation when you want to say sorry. ^_^0 votedDecember 8, 20110
