Episode 2: Shashi Tharoor is back! [Correcting India's English.]

- Episode 2 is finally here! If you enjoyed episode 1 of the conversation between Dr Tharoor and The English Nut, you will love episode 2.
Many have interviewed Dr Tharoor on the subject of English, but this conversation is special.
I'm The English Nut and I am as obsessed with the language as Dr Tharoor - which makes for a witty conversation indeed. One that is chock-full of observations about English. You can watch it for the learnings, or simply enjoy the banter.
BUT FIRST, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO SUBSCRIBE TO The English Nut! HIT THE BELL ICON TOO. Then you'll know as soon as I release a new video.
In this video we will discuss Dr Tharoor's pet peeves when it comes to English mistakes. As the 'English teacher to the nation', he will help us correct some of these mistakes. He will also talk about George Orwell and the darker side of 'political English'.
All in all an absorbing, entertaining and enlightening conversation!
(This conversation was recorded months ago, but for various reasons - not the least of which is the pandemic - it did not see the light of day earlier.)
In case you are new to The English Nut, I create weekly videos on the nuances of English. My objective is to introduce people to the finer points of the language while keeping them entertained.
English is nuts. And I’m nuts about English.
The English Nut is present on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as well:

Is there a way to contact you for a consultation or coaching ?
Hey to use Presently to mean at present or now is not at all a mistake, it's completely correct.
I wish to watch a political debate between Mr. PM of India and Dr shashi tharoor....M sure it ll be more hilarious conversation ever we heard.😃😃😃
Tharoor, you stand corrected. You said presently means soon. Yes, there is a meaning that presently means soon. At the same time, when 'presently' is used as adverb, it means 'now', (You can refer Oxford dictionary, which I am quoting).
"People confuse reticent and reluctant ,Its a very common problem in India ".
Me, who's hearing "reticent" for the first time :
Same dude samee
It sounds like no one needs to know reticent 🤪 why to know to many words and confuse ourselves.
Even me
Many of our well educated Indian may not understand Dr Shashi Tharoor's English language ...
Sameeee
Same here😂
Having him as their English teacher is still a dream of many .
"English teacher" is incorrect use a teacher of English..
Most Indians open their dictionaries just when Tharoor opened his mouth.
Especially the opposition... 😂
@@arkapravadey9654 Its better to check than accept him blindly though.
Not only Indians but also native speakers
Why do you think that everybody is a prune like you?
Not only Indians.
He deserves so much more ...i wish Indians used English as a language not as a way to feel superior .
Any language should be studied with genuine interest ...and not forced on people .
His way of introducing new words and making people learn is really nice .
He makes learning English interesting even for the Englishmen 😂😂
'Language should be used to communicate' says Dr. Tharoor.
And yet he uses at least one fancy word in every sentence. Bless You!
hahahahahhaha.😂kerala power ❤️
No, Nagabi lo, all words he uses are of English usage many of old/ middle/ modern English. Or derived from other languages now included in English. See his biography on the Google. Or some interview ,he started reading at the age of two years the mysteries of Enid blyton which he finished in one day.
@@anuradhainamdar8967 and that is why we common people finds hard following his English.
@@bichumonlotha3130 I may be a common Indian true but just like Dr. Shashi Tharoor I am a voracious reader too. I have read his " Pax Indica " but didn't find that interesting. I myself have a M.A.degree in English literature. But Dr. Tharoor is highly decorated with degrees. And finished his Ph.D at the age of 22 itself 🤣🤣 plus his experience as serving officer to Secretary General Kofi Annan of U.N. is vast. Having taught English language in schools I have improved the students pronunciation skills which I found pathetic even after they had reached their High school 🤣🤣.
Keep. your language simple - Dr Tharoor has a great command of the language, so he doesn't have to fear malapropisms.
He is suitable for EDUCATION minister post
In my opinion
True.... He is very highly educated and deserves it.
He should be PM, he was close to being UN general secretary. Education minister 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He can be, but imo the better candidate and the need of the hour, is someone who has an expertise in RnD in university level and a doctore in the field of science and technology. I'm not sure but I think the present education minister who's from WB i think, fits the bill more than most other candidates.
education does not only include learning and speaking english. It is much more than that.
@@shruti2926 he has em' all
We need a podcast from the English nut!!!!! This is the type of content which internet needs!!!!
I think he is the only politician in entire politics who is loved for his spoken English .....and we all proudly admire and aspire to be like him.
He can sCore 10 band in IELTS.
IELTS would bow infront of him
He will correct the examiner for sure.
@@bignavin10 4-6
10 out of 9 ? 😂😂😂
@@abhinavkanojia9059 hahaha ikr but you know him 😂 he will conquer that test
UNMISSABLE: Episode 2 of Shashi Tharoor's conversation with The English Nut is finally here.
Yaayy!!! 🥳 Tharooor sir❤️
Super duper excited 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 just love the way he talks
Keep on bringing him on the show. Such a delight.
Thank you for this Gem
Finally something which I knew and Shashi Tharoor didn't "Bite your Vs and kiss your Ws"
Its meaning??
@@umerbinshabir6561 to say words like van and viper, your front teeth bite your lower lip to say "vuh" . To say water or watch , pucker your lips like you're going to kiss...its "wotah" not vaaterrr. Just a native speaking layman..not expert
Probably the coolest politician that one may come across in india
Coolest politician serving under the _Uncoolest_ political party.
Empty Fully , ok so do you like to see him join STREANH वाली political party ?
😃
@@MM-ue4ol Don't know which party is that you're talking about but he should quit politics.
@@vibhaskulkarni well how come my comment states that he is a great politician and has done everything right. No politician is good everyone has done or said things which is unforgivable.. but what you said in your statement tells how you've been raised up.. seems like abusive language is quite common at your home that's how you've been raised ... Talking shit about someone's mother or family.. Idk what you said is true about him or not but even if it's true what you said is on the same line and you fall onto same category ..
@@vibhaskulkarni Obscene way of arguing with someone. Learn etiquettes of speaking. I guess your MOM never taught you.
I am a simultaneous interpreter in Colombia, I do English to Spanish. I had to interpret 2 Indian speakers, I almost lost a couple of neurons. It becomes my personal challenge, so, I started to listen to as many Indian speakers as I could, I am very happy I found this pair. It helped me to associate the language in a different peaceful way. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Shashi: Bestow me with your impendence at my mansion.
Girl: What?
Shashi: Aao kabhi haveli pe
That is a good one!! Btw, Shakun was an absolute screen magnate in Baazaar :D
@@kushalbanerjee8574 Harvard 🤣
@@nazimhassan2951 not Harvard, it was "Harrvarrd" 😀
Omg classic
😅😅😅😅
This is ONE channel I actually encourage my kids to watch on RUclips. Thank you for your awesome work ! 👍🙏
Thank you!
I have noticed that people often say, " revert back "- I will revert back to you"😁
Redundant..
But that's the meaning given in dictionary.
reply or respond to someone.
"we texted both Farah and Shirish, but neither of them reverted"
Even "presently", the meaning given is "now".
Listed as Indian English in the OLD
@@minklesagar5073 presently means now in North American English
Superfluous mistake
Hoping to watch a lengthy conversation with Tharoorji on english language and its quirky ways🥰 Thank you English Nut
Hope you saw both the episodes!
5:58 The moment you proved the interview deserved you that day. 😊
From Pak🕊 Amazing vocabulary & way of educating people breaking Nut to halwa…always interesting & informative to watch Sir Shashi Tahroor. Pls request him to talk abt the ‘Evolution of English lang.’
"Oneday English will learn English from Mr. Sashi Tharooor" said by unknown
Bruh
He may and will
It is ‘Shashi Tharoor’.
When Mr. Tharoor speaks, I open my dictionary 😀
I feel so elated after watching this interaction among our two beloved English Nuts. Thank you, Mr Nut, for organising this session with "The father of English Nuts".💖 I am one of his greatest aficionados and I wish to see him someday.😍🥺
And it would be so nice if both of you are doing more talks together. We love this combination.💚
Miss hearing such intellectuals in television
This interlocutor is cognizant of every single word of english and thanks to english nut who is edifying us. 🙏✨
I think you are also good in using perfect English.
@@sureshmastersvoice6080 influenced by shashi tharoor😂
@@ridhiguleria6125 you should read the book which he had written "the paradoxical prime minister of India". More than 4oo new vocabs in it.
@@sureshmastersvoice6080 really
Loved this!
After seeing the video i literally got shaken up by got to know about my english skills and yes shashi tharoor is the legend himself
G.O.A.T for a reason
Somehow I still love watching Satyajit Ray’s old interviews.. his accent to pronunciation! Nothing goes near that ! Still love ❤️ it
Everyone of us actually waiting in bated breath for the curtain raiser and in comes the Daddy English Nut..it's such a delight to see Mr. Chatterjee gliding the show with his delectable presence and with Shashi Sir it's eudaimonia for all English lovers...for a bel esprit like Tharoor sir it makes any episode of his that much more engrossing...thanks Mr Chatterjee for such a wonderful tete-a-tete..❤️
A man who made India proud with great lexicon !
Well half of the Indian population don't know about him
Who says he is Indian. He became Indian for a reason which the whole world knows about.
@@themintleaf1778 he is very much a proud Indian, from Kerala. Whatever the reason that's his personal.
@@themintleaf1778 he was former indian diplomat, who cares about reason, he was also going to become 1st india to become secretary general at security coucil and you should also see his oxford speech.
India indeed considers English as the most prestigious language.
Brits and Americans - Our English is the way it needs to be spoken
Tharoor - Uh......let me stop you there, and yes, please hold my beer
Some people want to look cool by saying "in lieu" to mean "in context" whereas it means the exact opposite.
Would love to see more of these videos, eagerly waiting for episodes 3.
Spectacular boss, I just learned, TO MY MIND phrase, Gazillion of thanks Mr Tharoor and English Nut team...
Cannot thank you enough for providing us the lessons with a twist and so much wit. 😍
Eagerly waiting for this...
Wow! My heart is elated with joy! Thank you for such a wonderful video.
Is there anyone who has listened that Oxford union's speech of Shashi sir?
That was marvelous...
One of the best educative channels, good work, worth listening to over and over again.
Listening to the conversation of TEN and 'the daddy of TEN' was cathartic. Can we be hopeful of another part and then another and another?
Almost misread your name there.
@@shobinp5789 azma😁
My goodness. 😶
Aastha Sharma,
You deserve gratitude for making me comprehend a rather exceptional word 'cathartic'.
👍
@@ravithejahaz
It was felicitous to be of help.
We need more of these! ❤
Am eagerly waiting for this. Do it quickly, I can't wait!!😍😍😍
It's such a pleasure to watch Dr Shashi Tharoor. Thank you for this interview.
Really enjoyed this episode! I could listen to Dr Tharoor talking about the English language all day frankly. 🤓👏👏
Waiting for more such episodes.
It's always a pleasure to hear both of you speak.
Fascinating. Elated. Mind-boggling.
I'm an English aficionado and enjoy all conversations on the language, its evolution and usage. While watching the above video and agreeing with the views expressed by both participants, I was waiting for an allusion to the word ' oversight', which the Americans have hijacked and altered to mean something almost opposite the correct meaning.
Do watch my video on Janus words. :)
I read Paradoxical prime minister few months ago and I thought he is being cynical to PM polytically though I loved Shasi , by now lie of PM is being unlayered proving Shasi tharore Right. I will suggest dear sir to re launch it.
I love to hear this conversation 👍
I am glad I found this channel!
*I Just Loved The Idea Of Adding English Subtitles To This Video Even Though The Whole Conversation Was In English*
😀😁😂
This video made me happy. Hence I subscribed, even though this is the only video I watched on this channel.
Thanks for educating ! Grateful for all the efforts .😊
Loved this episode, Sir!!
Thank you, and best wishes from Nagaland. 🤍
Sashi taught English to the Britons.
Orwell was much ahead of his time when he wrote 1984.
Great session! Listening to these two nuts was🙌
Love this sooooo much. Thank you both
Super Informative and very eloquent. Aesthetically also very pleasing to ears. Could listen to them talk all day long.
To speak n write like him, reading a few of his books would be a good start..
Video like this is worth ten times than the English movies. Please make video more of its kind. This is so informative.
Wow! That was wonderful!
For the first time I wished for the vide to be a little longer. It's always a pleasure watching Mr. Tharoor speak.
My all time favorite 'Mr.Shashi Tharoor'
I never miss your videos. I want more long word vocabularies from Tharoor Sir. So please upload episode 3,4,........ I'm eagerly awaiting...
Yipeeee... another episode..thq so much..
Thankyou soooooooooomuch . I love this channel.
More important, the Indian Flag brooch worn by Mr. Tharoor. 💓
Thank you The English Nut for pure english contents. Hope to learn even more along with Mr. Tharoor's english episodes further. 🙂
This Gotta be one of the most instructive video on RUclips..thanks..wait8g for more
What a great discovery today .... subscribed.. 👍
It's our serendipity to be here with two great english nut 🤩
Is it your serendipity to find this inspiring and scholarly discourse?
@@ravithejahaz There is no room for doubt👍🏼
*nuts
I need a teacher like Sashi Tharoor
Very insightful and really mind-boggling! Saw both the episodes. Wonderful record. Thank you @TheEnglishNut for bringing it out. Love it.
Thanks!
Hey, English nut! I want to sign up for more such videos [ Including Tharoor] It's insanely addicted. Please make more videos with him.
My GRE score improved by 30 marks at the end of the video.
#TheEnglishNut You both are a charm. Thank you for this. What he mentioned is so apt. A wrong usage gets so popular that it ends up being the right one. Wrong usage of revert was a byproduct of MNC English. Restrain and refrain are another set I see being ruined. I love you both. Thank you!
I want continuations of speaking with Dr. Shashi Tharoor episode three four...
Love to hear you both especially when you are with him talking.
Only thing I rue, that I have to listen to those interviews or talks at least for ten times, to fully understand.
Love the way you bring out the Intricacies of the language 👍
In my carrier, I have come across innumerable people who said they will revert back but didn't. 😅
Your comment sounds like an advertisement given by Unacademy or some other coaching institute, lol.😆
And yes, I have seen people saying "I will revert back to you" but never.😉
I think you mean career
@@subhi92Yes, you beat me to it. Such an error is called "malapropism" which is defined as : the use of a word sounding somewhat like the one intended but ludicrously wrong in the context. 😊
@@srikanths5178 isn't it pun if it is intended?
It doesn't make any sense
Major respect and gratitude to this channel and the host
Just pulchritudinous 🥺💛
Pulchritudinous means beautiful 🙆♂️😅
@@prathamjain24 What a peculiar yet delightful word!
@@ananyapanwar2086 thank you so much 😇
Thank you for the meanings throughout the video! Gosh they help!
Keep this up! Good job! Love from Sri Lanka - loved the Orwell discussion :)
As a nerd I can say that I really enjoyed this episode !
Watta'n accent he always has ,, aah amazing !! ❤️❤️
Wow wow wow, this is awesome, thanku for doing this. I really wish I could learn from you:)
Thanks for these wonderful episodes.
This is so so good! It's always been pleasure watching Mr Tharoor talk. Looking forward to new episodes. Please include Tharoor's Library section where he could recommend some books, not necessarily to learn English but content wise rich books that he has had read in years.
You may not like him for the political party he is in or the political ideology which he possesses, but his English is up to the mark.
Indeed. You may like him for both his political ideology and his English.
@@VV-lq4di i doubt that. India is a parliamentary democracy, one is not entitled to like a particular ideology or politician for that matter.
@@samay4596 I said you may like his political ideology in response to your earlier comment that you may not like his political ideology. What is your point?
@@VV-lq4di I used the word may in my initial comment which proved your response anyway. What's your point?
@@samay4596 How did it “prove my point”? And if it did “prove my point”, what is “your” point?
wow much-anticipated episode for sure..you should try to bring him regularly
Lovely episode, thank you.
4:39 Reminds me of Doctor uncle 😁 Please resume Dr. uncle series too. By the way I came to know about you from the first episode of this series. I am glad you made a second one😊
That line i like the most don't mugged up dictionaries read more books
Omg! Can't wait❤️
Absolutely loved this episode.
wow , half way through the video and i have already learnt so much. but the fact that i knew how to pronounce pronunciation, plumber epitome and hyperbole wow man i feel like a genius already 😂😂😂
Learned *
At first I was shocked when I heard his voice
Oh ! I loved part.2 even more than part.1.
Thank you English Nut .
Brilliant!! Thanks!!
NEVER STOP THE SERIES PLEASE.
ITS AMAZING 😍
I can listen to this ALL day everyday
I WISH HIM TO BE INDIA'S PM
bcoz he Knows good english? That's why? Can he speak any other Indian language except his mother tongue & english so profoundly? he is gd in english so he shd me pm ! wah
Just because of his English? He does not have a chance
Just because he speaks good English?
@@Raut-warrior because he is more intelligent then a chaye bechnewala
