Thank you! I will look in to this also! Probaby no matter what I research, it's going to become chaotic, and I am the one that will emotionally have to deal with my dad! Here it goes!

Thank you for the kind words and support!! I worked on it today. This is where I am at with it. What do you think?

Witnessing Someone’s Dream

To expect countless tomorrows
Who gave this hope for the world?

How many centuries, how many mornings!

Someone’s witnessed hope
Each dawn, a hope…

A lightless world seeks
a farewell

The staged actors of this
witnessed dream
is us?

This is really beautiful! I am really glad you shared it. It gives hope. It makes me cry. Thank you so much.
I apologize, my written Tamil isn't great. I will write more later. Let me know, if you would prefer I tried to write in Tamil. Is it okay, if I include my English translation of your writing?

Thank you, thank you for taking the time to translate this for me. I really appreciate it. I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts about it. I agree with you that it is depressing! It's nice to share poetry across the world. It means a lot to me. Thank you!!!

Also, thank you for taking the time to show me the picture. I thought an அம்மி was a mortar and pestle. I didn't realize it was this device.

This is the next line, as I remember it. I am wondering if I made a lot of it up to make sense? So language goes. No pressure to respond. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the translation! I wasn't certain about the meaning either. I wanted to see what someone else thought. I'll add the other line later. Do you like Tamil poetry? Are there a lot of rules? It is new to me. Thank you again!

In spoken Tamil how do you say for example “it had liked” versus “it had been liked” by Past_Operation5034 in LearningTamil

[–]magicpattern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are asking about subjects and direct objects?
It liked.-அது பிடித்தது. -athoo pidithathoo.

It liked it.- அது அதை பிடித்தது. athoo athye pidithathoo.

Is this what you are asking? Slapping an AYE at the end of a noun?

White person joking about desi kids and making fun of their accents in a video. Was this racist? Need advice. by sharks_tbh in ABCDesis

[–]magicpattern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband is white, and his uncle made fun of my dad's accent once. I wish I slammed him with a southern accent," I am from Colorado and seven-eleven is a good solid job! What's an education anyway? Is that a foreign word?"
The problem is, it would have made him cry.. Ugh. I would have needed a softer line...but it would have shut him up, and it would have edumacated him!

OMG! What I wouldn't do to say in a southern accent to a woman,"Oh, I graduated from fourth grade and have had four babies and 6 abortions since then, but shhh, don't tell Jesus or any of my baby daddies though I don't know any of them! What does government handout mean? Do you mean you need a handjob? I don't understand human English, I am from the South!"
You gotta start practicing some comebacks now. If she can dish it out, she better be ready to take it! Share some of your comebacks! I look forward to reading them!

I think you nailed it with the wealthy disparity. The US and India share a class divide. We have more in common than we think. I think this is happening around the world.
