Profile
I have been trying to learn Nepali on my own for two years. I have one friend that is a native Nepali speaker, but does not help me very often. My goal is to be semi-fluent within the next three years. I long to go and visit Nepal and would like to speak Nepali well before I travel.

- Aba, ma chahanchhu mero English lyrics utha garna lae Nepali. These are very important lyrics to me, they are very personal, but I'd really like to translate them into Nepali. I've included the little bit of translation I've done so far. Why would we put a limit on infinity? Kina (why) hami(we) anta(limit) lai(for?) infinity? Why put a range on possibility? Kina chahanchhu simaa lai sambhaabanaa? Why want to limit on possibility? I don’t get it, why would we? Ma aundaina ( I don’t know) kina hami garchhau (why we would do?) What is the reason to bound our chemistry? Hijo ke kaaran(what is the reason) barnu(to fence) hamro(our) chemistry? Why would be bind our affinity? Kina hamilai gaara hamro affinity? Cannot put a range on our love eternally When will you recognize Kahile timi chinna? we’ve hit the nth degree. (being a play on math equations using n as a variable…have ZERO idea how to include a reference like that in Nepali, but if that part stays english, its alright) Just when falling into despair tyasai kahile khasdaichamaa niraasaa. we go walking, no, dancing on air hami hiṃdera, no, naacko haawaamaa With defenses waning, but not giving a care. This feels like approaching infinity why not give in to this feeling We have to admit that its good to be. I know you are worried my hopes can’t be met And I know I don’t have you convinced Abandoning fears over an outcome is best Let’s just appreciate being blessed. Let our hearts be open and not be repressed. This looks like blinding infinity, why would we want to put restraint on this imagery let’s both admit, there is more to see. I know all day you’re busy daydreaming. So am I. And symbiotically, we are designing our reality. Who incepted this love you or me?February 13, 201310
- Kaam garne ekoro. Acel ma kaam garne ekoro. Ma thakai laagyo. Kahile kaata chahanchhu thakaai maarnu tara ma gardaina. Ma pani eklo chhu. Mero pyaaro saathi taaraa saarna bhayio. In English, what I mean to say is: These days I'm always working. I'm very tired. Sometimes I want to take a break but I cannot. I am also loney. My beloved has moved away.October 29, 201240
- How is this pronounced in English? "shoe you"? Maybe the name Susan which has the nickname Sue so that it sounds close to your name? Personally, I don't think anyone should feel a need to change to a more "English" name, but if you really want to, then find one that fits and will be easy to remember to respond to.0 votedAugust 18, 20120
- What is missing that makes this sentence make sense is a comma. If the sentence begins with, "Two days after, (need this comma) a law is passed that people have to wear a star. Two days after something else occurs. It would be better to say, "Two days later, a law is passed..." The sentence is not written well. It would be more clear to say, "a law is passed requiring people to wear a star." A period needs to be added here and "The tailors" starts a new thought. This post is a good example of something that should go in a notebook for corrections.0 votedAugust 18, 20120
- If you add a period at the end, this sentence is grammatically correct, but it is odd. The sentence does not make much sense because it has so many negatives. It would flow better to say, "I like to talk about things that are impossible." Inevitable is a somewhat negated word. This word means something is guaranteed to happen. In the US, we don't use the word "evitable" to mean something that will not happen. You would use "impossible" to describe something that cannot happen. I hope this helps, it is hard to fully understand the question.0 votedAugust 18, 20121
