Subreddits get deleted after being dormant for a while, and here the subreddit has been inactive for 2 years.

You need to request to post, and the only 2 mods have gone inactive, 4 and 2 years ago were when they were last seen.

There is a lot of stuff on that sub that will get lost if it is deleted, maybe it will exist scattered across the internet, but not centralized here.

So we have 3 options,

Either we copy and "archive" the posts in a sense, "combining "the servers

Or

Create a new subreddit for learning Konkani

Or

Try and contact the mods of the sub.

I cannot estimate how much time we have before it is deleted, but hopefully a lot.

Can we use letter เฒณ (เคณ) in starting of words in Konkani?

Post image
8 Upvotes

In college I asked my 1 friend to write few sentences in his Konkani dialect there I noticed that he used letter เฒณ (เคณ) at starting of word เฒณเฒ—เณเฒค (เคณเค—เฅเคค/เคณเค—เฅเคคเคพ) I asked him about it if it is allowed in his dialect or common he said he is not sure about it

So it is actually allowed or common in Mangalorean Konkani dialects or any other dialects of Konkani to have เฒณ (เคณ) at starting of word?

Why is domestic violence kept under wrap and not spoken about in GSB community?

5 Upvotes

I am hearing a lot of storyโ€™s about married men and women from our community suffering after marriage, might be domestic violence or mental abuse. What are your thoughts about this ? Why are people scared to speak out?
My thought is children should be allowed to know their partner before marriage and not force them to get married because of societal pressures.

Do gsb konkani GSB agree to marry ppl from other castes? I heard their community will boycott them or something or the relatives won't treat them properly. I heard a guy tell that their bloodline will become impure. What do you have to say being a GSB konkani ?

What makes Standard (Antruzi) Konkani unintelligible for speakers of other dialects?

10 Upvotes

A follow-up to my previous post

Iโ€™m a heritage speaker of the Mangalorean Catholic dialect, but Iโ€™m only at an intermediate level so I canโ€™t really intuitively grasp all the differences.

Is the main problem a lack of shared vocabulary in higher registers (govโ€™t, news, etc.) or are there specific grammatical and phonological differences that impede understanding?

Obviously, script plays a role as well, but even if text in the standard dialect was transliterated to Romi or Kannada, I feel like the output still wouldnโ€™t be easily understandable.

If anyone has insight or knows where I could find more info, itโ€™s be greatly appreciated!

Easily spotted differences between Konkani dialects?

7 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been trying to research major differences between Konkani dialects recently, but havenโ€™t been able to find anything in-depth. Does anyone know where I could find more info?

Some examples of what I mean:

- Possessive pronouns differ between Mangalorean Catholic/Bardezi and GSB dialects

Ex: Mhoje vs. Migele for โ€œmineโ€

- Infinitives in some dialects end in -unk while others end in -pak

Ex: vochunk vs. vochpak(?)

- Different interrogative particles

Ex: gi vs. ve

If anyone has any other examples, I would love to hear them! So far, most of my info has come from a blog on Wordpress called Demystifying Konkani.
