konkani is a very philosophical language.. the words mean more than just their actual meaning. in fact most languages are like that , they help u express more than what u say, but i have recently realised this quality in konkani, a language spoken by people in the konkan region. this language borrows heavily from marathi and from portugese, since goa [ the place where konkani is spoken ] is where the portugese discoverer ,Vasco da gama, first arrived. Well so much for , the historical background. now here are a few of my observations..
