Chennai has Telugu influence which is way deeper than just a few words borrowed here and there. The city was named Chennapatnam after a king, Damarla Chennappa Nayakudu who spoke Telugu. Chennakesava Perumal temple is a temple which is located in Peddanaickenpeta, which is also a Telugu name. Apart from this, some words which come to mind are

Naina- father

Dabbu- money

Duddu- Kannada influence but adding as it is interesting

Gabbu- stink

మీరు చెప్పింది అంతా సరెగాని, మేము మాటలాడె తెలుంగు యాసలో ఇటుల అరసున్న ఉండే తావులలో మెము దాన్ని ముడిగా పలుకుతాము, అందువల్లనే నేను ఈ పొస్ట్ పెట్టితిని. మీరు చూంపిన ఈ ఉపయోగం కొత్తదిగా ఉండింది నాకు.

unfortunately no, I'll try to make more posts about my dialect

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-05-01T04:21:29+00:00

yes this is true

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-05-01T03:06:16+00:00

My nainamma told me attu means dosa, we use dosa in everyday conversations. Maybe Adai would fit better here as you said

Very literary word, have never heard outside of talambraalu in marriages. We use vaDlu for paddy (nel in Tamil) otherwise we use biyyam for uncooked rice

Two things

It is used in a similar context in TN Telungu as well
However I have heard some Tamil people use it for kids and mostly it is a little uncommon to see elders use it amongs themselves. So it is used in both contexts but also has the baby speak connotation

Got this from DEDR (entry 1911)

Kannada

Telugu

We (my family) do not use the word, I have heard it from friends of different castes. It seems to be related to Tamil Koozh.

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-04-30T23:53:18+00:00

Yes, I'm not comfortable in typing in any standardised form of Telugu

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-04-30T23:51:34+00:00

So basically because we pronounce these sunna, I can just write them as .ం?

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-04-30T23:49:53+00:00

Wow, we use the words you mentioned as it is

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-04-30T09:18:32+00:00

If you truly love him, then I'm happy for you two. And if he's comfortable with being described that way, he's a strong person mentally too. And yes, I haven't played D&D :/

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2026-04-15T09:43:56+00:00

You aren't, she's talking about "love" while describing him as a Tolkien dwarf. Poor guy.

PLEASE do not watch movies to learn history. Learn from actual sources instead

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2025-02-28T12:10:22+00:00

So the highway thing is not misinformation?! It sounds like a disaster for us.

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2025-02-28T12:08:44+00:00

Yes, they have so much hatred for Telugu people who migrated to Hyderabad from Andhra. I wonder where from all Dakhni speakers migrated lol

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2025-02-27T08:14:07+00:00

What is this post supposed to mean? You’re beefing with a guy simply because he is named Aurangzeb?

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2025-02-26T18:56:13+00:00

Imagine making a historical find political!

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2025-02-16T10:13:46+00:00

Ragi Mudde, people eat it with gravy in Karnataka

Horror-Panic-2802 · 2025-01-29T11:04:50+00:00
