That's not what vivid means in English though. Vivid means something that's very lively and dynamic, bright and colourful, or something that brings out a lot of strong feelings or clear images on one's mind. I think it could be derived from a Latin language, since the words for life and to live in Latin are vita and vivere.
@@anupama4051 that's exactly what it means in Sanskrit. In fact that's same in any other language that has borrowed lingua franca from Sanskrit like Hindi. "Vividh" as it pronounced, is usually a word associated colourful varieties. But it is also used to describe a strong pleasent feeling/taste/environment.
@@anupama4051 Not exactly. Latin and Sanskrit do share a common origin, they do belong to the Indo-European Language Family. They both could have obtained it from an even older ancestral language, but Sanskrit is more closely related to that ancestral language as it is quite older than Latin.
Being a person of Carnatic ethnicity, it's quite relatable (and flabbergasting). 'Aanai Kondaan' in the Kannada language can be translated to, 'Aané Konda' where the 'd' is pronounced in the manner 'th' in 'the' is pronounced. So, 'Aanai Kondaan' → 'Aané Konda' → 'Anaconda' Quite puzzling yet sensible 🤔 Thanks, mate!
Aaaah Anpu thank you so much for having me on your channel! I loved making these videos with you - it was so much fun! Thank you also for making that awesome PDF, which our students can download here: bit.ly/UKvsINDIApdf
me as a indian, never learned "prepone" as just "bringing forward"...i learned the 'prepone' means to bring an event forward to an earlier date or time. For example- the test which was scheduled for friday, has preponed to wednesday
In Bengali, Bungalow does not necessarily mean a one stroyed building. It means a fancy huge house (kind of a mini-palace). In common culture, wealthy people usually have a bungalow house in between or near the forest (or nature) to spend vacation.
The word 'Bunglaa' and various pronunciations is used slightly differently now having evolved like words in most languages do. Original it was a one storeyed detached house!
I have never heard "Mindblasting" , always used and heard mind-blowing. Yes, we do use "needful" . Never heard "Rowdy sheeter" but definitely use "rowdy". Kindly adjust also can be adjust please. Lucy's jungle was PERFECT!
In north India we use the word 'History Sheeter' instead of 'Rowdy Sheeter'. The word 'Rowdy' in general is used by South Indians a lot and not really by North Indians.
It's really "mindblasting" to discover that all of those words that we also use in Italian don't come from English or Latin but from Indian languages! 🤯 Great video 👏🏼
There's also the word "Karma" (To get or have done to you what you did to someone else, or to get what you deserve) which is derived from Sanskrit word "Karmam", which means, well, the same thing.
@@triptisingh1431 Karma is a westernised (I meant that it's a word used in English with Indian origins) version of Karmam. It's technically an English word that has Indian roots.

@@triptisingh1431 Yeah, but when using it in a Hindi (damn I meant sanskrit, in hindi it's karm, isn't it?) sentence we only use karmam. Why? Because it's how it's used.

For those saying they never heard of rowdy sheeter before, it is used only in South I guess (atleast in *telugu states* ) even my parents used to call them as rowdy sheeters. I've grown up listening to that word but it is rarely used now. Now we're using its short form as *rowdy*
I have previously lived in London, but currently, I am in Switzerland. I am originally from South India and speak Tamil. I really, really enjoyed watching the video because I have a great love for the English language. Interestingly, I was not aware that the word "cash" has its origins in the Tamil word "kaasu," which means money. Hope you collaborate with Lucy again!😀🙃
Even "loot" is one adapted word.I feel , do correct me if I am mistaken . The leader of the gang boasted about the hefty loot they could make . The loot left the village with bare minimum supplies to survive.
Prepone is actually a valid word - Yes, the word 'prepone' is an acceptable word. It means bringing something forward to an earlier date. It can be viewed as the opposite of 'postpone', which means delaying a process. The word is in Oxford dictionary
'Kindly adjust', 'do the needful' and 'prepone' are actually very common in Indian english. These words are used on a daily basis in my school. According to me these words are more formally used rather than being used in an informal setting. I have never heard of the word 'rowdy sheeter', but maybe people just don't use it where I grew up (New Delhi), we often say 'criminal' or 'felon'.
What very interesting and strange is that Anpu's Tamil accent is really the Srilankan Tamil accent. Tamil Nadu Tamil is different. I think his parents must be from Sri Lanka. And the other thing is the name 'Anpu' is a Tamil word 'Anbu' which means 'Love' in English. And very special English word borrowed from Tamil is 'Curry' - கறி. I really like this episode.
My mom's Sri Lankan. South Indian English and Sri Lankan English are very very similar (the accent). India has different accent for different regions. The Tamil may be different, but the English accent is quite similar. And also, Nice to meet you =)

02:05 I’ve never heard anyone use mind blasting in my parts of India ever. Also your student is a Russell Peters fan for sure. Cuz Russel made up that word for a standup set that was being shared a lot back in 2005/06
One storey houses made in Raj times having slopping ceilings and structural members made of wood are generally what we consider standard bungalows. Sure, modern one storey houses are called bungalows too but not considered as such in the purest sense of the word.
Sarpa (snake) in Indian Hindi language is called Serpent in English. Doli an Hindi word or pallaquinn is also used as Dolly known as a gadget used for connecting a Motor home or Caravan. English, French grammar got enriched when East India company made contact with Indian Subcontinent for trade purpose in 1500 Ad.
It can also be polite. Students or supplicants use it when they need an administrator to do something. I guess they humbly submit that they don't know how something is done.
Bunglow means a 1 storey garden house with lot of outside space. Very popular in native bengal during mughal era owned by landlords. Adopted by british civil servers as a relaxing home during hot and humid bengal monsoon

I'm from North India, here the word "Jungle" is more commonly used to describe a place with a lot of trees, grasses etc., basically a forest.

Now I'm gonna tell the next time someone says it ain't, that's it's what we invented.
I am Indian and have heard prepone. But haven’t heard about rowdy sheeter
Bringing forward (pehle karo) also means doing something before date. Means doing in Wednesday instead of Friday.
‘Rowdy Sheeter’ and ‘Mindblasting’ are terms I’ve never heard of as an Indian. Others are definitely used very often.

Hey there... we're teaching English here in India and have often discussed how helpful the Indian English phrase "to do the needful" is!! Love that you picked it up in this video
Bungalow is pronounced as banglaa in hindi which means a very big house.
Yes North Indians call it 'bangla'
Even in telugu
'Banglaa' means a house made in the Bengali style.
In kerala, it is banglaavu.
@@wanderingwonderer5442 Actually no.
As far I know in India Jungle is just forest.. grass land, barren land , desert not included
The most important word is 'loot' which you should use.
In formal letters or speech we use do the needful.It's not really taught in school but we pick it up from elders or anyone else.
Any accent, spoken naturally sounds good.
I’m from india and every work email ends from “ Request you to do the needful “ 😀
I live in a bungalow since years..and it's an amazing experience! With a garden before it and too a backyard. It is pretty spacious compared to Building Flats cuz you have a lot of space with nature at your doorstep.🏠🏠 I think Lucy sis you too live in a Bungalow,if I can recollect by memory of watching your personal vlogs? But I just totally loved the video! Hats off to you!
Thanks so much!! Lovely to hear about your experiences living in a bungalow!
You live or leave?
@@sujathakowalczyk3364 oh! My bad! I live. Now I too edited the comment with "live" some typing errors you see..😊
@@UniqueChatBBR happens when you are too excited to express.
@@sujathakowalczyk3364 YEAH! THAT'S THING THAT HAPPENED EXACTLY!
02:05 I’ve never heard anyone use mind blasting in my parts of India ever. Also your student is a Russell Peters fan for sure. Cuz Russel made up that word for a standup set that was being shared a lot back in 2005/06
Do the needfull is a very common word specially while writing the email or an application, i use it a lot.
Bengali here. Bungalow basically came from old Bengal Zamindari houses which were like a open-air mansion and one storeyed with a terrace.
அண்ணே வேற level நீங்க 🔥🔥🔥
Vanakkam paa
One storey houses made in Raj times having slopping ceilings and structural members made of wood are generally what we consider standard bungalows. Sure, modern one storey houses are called bungalows too but not considered as such in the purest sense of the word.
Another most commonly used Hindi word is "loot" and of course our "yoga".
When they started the video with the first word, I was hoping he'd discuss the word "Loot"😭.
I'm from India and I have never heard mindblasting. Hearing it for the first time. I've always heard mind blowing
Sarpa (snake) in Indian Hindi language is called Serpent in English.
Doli an Hindi word or pallaquinn is also used as Dolly known as a gadget used for connecting a Motor home or Caravan.
English, French grammar got enriched when East India company made contact with Indian Subcontinent for trade purpose in 1500 Ad.
Kindly adjust is very often used in India
You should've mentioned the word ' Loot' 🤪
Mr.Thaoor uses the word quite well 😅
Completely agree
😂😂😂 that might have be lampoonery with Lucy.
I am so glad that he included the phrase Rowdy Sheeter.... That's the local Indian saying 😅
Which part of India are you from? I've never heard it here in Delhi.
@@tomorrowisanotherday12 I am from Hyderabad and I did live a couple of years in Delhi too...And even there I heard the word Rowdy sheeter...
@@top-to-the-pop5341 Ah! That's surprising to me. I've heard 'history sheeter' but never rowdy sheeter. 😬
Ohhh...I see..☺
And there are words like "Anaconda" taken from tamil " yaanai kondran", Indian word " brinjal" for egg plant, etc etc.
we do use do the needful while filling up the form etc.
We generally use "do the needful" in formal letters
I got surprised with 'champo'
Edit: And 'kaasu' ofcourse (actually made me a bit proud😉)
Yeah I was also so surprised! I love learning about etymology!
@@EnglishwithLucy here "champi" is used more commonly than "champo"
@@SKBeri-ji4cf Yeah, champi means a head massage in Hindi. Champo could be an ancient word? Archaic?
@@WoSarvatraHain Absolutely, Champo was used in ancient times but nowadays we generally use Champi
@@SKBeri-ji4cf in telugu champi means "by killing/after killing" ☺️
“Do the needful” sounds like a command or an order
It can also be polite. Students or supplicants use it when they need an administrator to do something. I guess they humbly submit that they don't know how something is done.
I can vouch for the fact that every Indian feels the same way when it comes to his/her mother tongue 🙏🇮🇳
Bunglow means a 1 storey garden house with lot of outside space. Very popular in native bengal during mughal era owned by landlords.
Adopted by british civil servers as a relaxing home during hot and humid bengal monsoon
