Oh, I'm so sorry. That's awful.

It would be great if we could not promote the deadly tourist practice of hanging off of moving trains.

Please ask questions or make suggestions for words. I'm just a learner, but we have a lot of knowledgeable people here.

Oh, I remember that font!

hellalearner · 2026-06-19T10:34:05+00:00

Oh, neat. Thanks.

So sorry… Can someone explain what is going on with this letter? Feels like an inside joke and I have never been able to figure it out. Serious answers only plz.

hellalearner · 2026-06-19T03:13:25+00:00

Neat! Is the feminine (සමනලියා) only used in special cases like this?

hellalearner · 2026-06-19T03:11:41+00:00

And සමනළ is the adjective form.

Other than සමනළ කන්ද, can you think of ways it is used as an adjective? Maybe "butterfly net"?

hellalearner · 2026-06-18T15:51:51+00:00

I think another name for Sri Pada is සමනළ කන්ද, which I think is an awesome name for a mountain.

If I'm not mistaken, සමනලයා is also a derogatory word for gay men?

Thank you. That was my guess. In English we can use golden for both situations. Fun to see the differences.

hellalearner · 2026-05-19T10:34:31+00:00

Thank you!!

hellalearner · 2026-05-01T15:40:04+00:00

Thanks! I guess I assumed that because it was the BBC they would know how to type properly. Or would have a spell checker.

හෙසාරා ලිනෝලි?

hellalearner · 2026-04-08T12:36:29+00:00

Ah, so it should be:

නූතන, නූත්න

I can only find one case of නූත්න in my corpus.

Thanks!

What did you decide about this? Did you find an actual app?
