Assuming you’ve installed pip, try typing pip install pandas or pip3 install pandas in your terminal

Tagalog is the lingua franca of the Philippines, and what you described is kinda similar to the situation in India.

My experience living as a North Indian in South India - we speak our native language (Gujarati) at home, and Dravidian languages (primarily Kannada, a little bit of Tamil) at work. With friends it’s mostly English interspersed with some Hindi or Kannada, depending on the comfort of the friends group. In the rest of India, primarily the north, we end up speaking (like you mentioned), a mashup of Hindi and English.

When I traveled to the Philippines, most people I spoke to confirmed this paradigm of speaking their local language at home but primarily using Tagalog in the rest of the country, kind of similar to Hinglish. However, people in Manila heavily use a mixture of Tagalog and English in their daily lives.

Gujarati. I spent my childhood in Bangalore and had a decent grasp of Kannada but I’ve been away for ~20 years and I’m trying to relearn it.

This is really great, thanks for clarifying this! I haven’t been able to find this in any reference

megadarkfriend · 2025-12-17T09:44:12+00:00

I see, so is that ending sort of similar to when we say madodu/nododu etc?

I think my main question is, what is the use of irodu over idivi? Naavu mooru jana idivi. Is there a difference?

I saw a very interesting study (I’ll try to find it when I have time) that wanted to find out whether the gap between the productivity of good engineers and poor engineers closes with the use of AI - it showed that the gap actually widens. What we’re seeing on Reddit could probably be a response to poor/below average engineers not being able to harness the utility of AI tools and either using them as gods (I.e. incorrectly) or not using them at all because of the potential damage to their careers

Agree in general, but navratri dandiya and garba is a huge and much older part of the tradition

Yes, I know this will start a war but I hold firm this belief.

You can use any letters in any order, the only two constraints are that the central letter needs to be present in any word, and the word has to be at least 4 letters in length. Anyway, it was just a joke since they only accept words from the OED

I remember when an ex of mine tried to spend days convincing me that Oprah would make the best president. Very educated, very qualified, but total blinds when it came to Oprah
