@තාරින් ජයසිංහ :)

Thanks

Thank you = IS-THU-THI. The "TH" is pronounced like "THought". However, I find that most people there just say Thank You in english

Thanks, over there next week and like to make an effort rather than be one of those YEAH GREAT DO YOU SPEAK ENGALISHHHH?

It is nice and polite to make the effort, learn a bit of the native tongue. But many sri lankans speak singlish. It is their take on english. Quite useful.

We actually say thank you in english lol

Jasmine Sali omg lucky you!!! Have an amazing time! Do you know what places you’ll be seeing yet?

did it blow your mind? For me seeing people being nice, loving their mothers, not hitting the dogs, was all amazing. Hope you had a great trip.

I actually lived there until I was 7 and have visited a lot too. It was very rare to hear someone say it unless in formal situations like at a wedding or new years. Maybe it’s different in different areas though.

@@MihiriW Maybe. I, however, live here and interact with people on a daily basis and this is what I have come across. On the whole however, people use good morning and hello or hi more, especially the younger generation.

සින්හල කියන්නෙ කතා කරන භාෂාවට කියන නම. සින්හලිස් කියන්නෙ ඉන්ගිසියෙන් සින්හල මිනිස්සුන්ව හසුන්වන්න භාවිතා කරන ඉන්ගිසි නම.

@@Nature_world203 Thank you. "I'm a Sinhalese and I speak Sinhala." This sentence is correct then, isn't it?

Don't miss the Buddhism. It is so beautiful. Such a deep kindness as part of their national identity. And the food is pretty awesome. They might tell you not to drink the tap water. I found it was fine. But don't create plastic waste by buying bottled water. Just have 6 coconuts a day. It is better than water. Minerals. And the king coconuts are great, but so are the unripe ones. Your body will love you for it. The coconut selllers will fill your bottle, so you can buy a day's worth. Abd the temples, and the sun, and the smiles. Have fun. You lucky human.

@@howardstrauss5166 Thank you for the useful reminder of taking care of our planet but I'm not really into looking for religions I'm more into food, nature and cultures. Regarding the coconuts juice, I'm afraid I will stick to drinking plain water as I have some health issues so I must restrict my intake of a lot of certain minerals and sugar.

Yeah a lot of srilankan words are similar to words used by south Maldivians (huvadhoo dilect)

Yes I am!

@Max Rider but it has many loan words.

I think the sinhalese people came from north india, about 2,500 years ago.

@Maz Maz No Maldivian similar and born from Sinhalese

@@howardstrauss5166 No forever....it is more local

Some words of sinhala are very close to tamil and some are exactly same

I'm also half Sri Lankan I'm also half English

Creepy Ryan haha same it’s hilarious

Yeah...

There’s actually many languages spoken in Srilanka and many religions observed.

@@MihiriW that’s right! I met Tamil and Sinhala friends also my Chemistry professor is a Sri Lankan catholic.

They have rupees.

Money in Sri Lanka, called "Salli"

Hello! I would love to visit Jaffna someday =)

@@MihiriW of course you should

Im from Kandy bro😄 it’ also only a province in this little beautiful island

@Icy Flame being gay can be so lovely. I am in love, so i am very prejudiced. Do enjoy it. It is supposed to be a lot of fun.

The language is called Sinhalese, it’s one of the languages of the country. If you’re asking about how to say I Love You in Sinhalese, it’s “mama oyata ada-ray”

Thanks for your comment! And yes you are absolutely correct!

@@MihiriW pls dont take personal. i just commented in humor. YOU reacted wisely. so you have won my apology and i edited my comment to be respectful.

@@jayb871 Yeah. Tamil also a official language in Sri Lanka. But Sinhala is the main language in Sri Lanka. 75% of Sri Lankans speak Sinhala as their mother tongue and 85% of Sri Lankans can speak Sinhala

lol

😅🙊

lol exactly!

I'm half srilankan

Omgosh I hope it went well!
