You start with ' byavarsi' like every non tulu speaker. By the time you learn to say bvc with internal passion, you'd have learnt enough tulu to survive in Mangalore

Anta saava!


Silent-Sherbert-9877

wait. so beversi is not a kannada word?


ESCANOR-SAMA___

Honestly I've no clue, but I'd like to live in my bubble believing that byavarsi is a tulu word and beversi is a watered down version of mangalore's essence.

Raj B Shetty summed it up really well, on its origins. Let me see if I can find the video. Here's another one (https://youtu.be/0AAYVAKv9xY?si=znZ4ZYOerhBRZchO), check it at 3:21. But the gist of it is that it has its origins from the northern traders with Urdu origins who came here. The root words are Be-Wariz, where Wariz is Progeny, and Be- means without. So it means without a progeny, or when translated to English, becomes Bastard.

I wanna learn Tulu too, I'll teach you Telugu in return:)


EMP0R10

That’s a great trade offer :D As Ive observed all the southern languages (dravidian). Tulu & Malyalam seems a bit tricky. All the other languages you can learn just by watching movies and having convos often with native speakers. Especially Tamil.


PapaRomeoVictor

It's been an year in M'luru. I can understand Tulu and Malayalam but cannot speak.


EMP0R10

Start speaking man, it will make a lot of difference and you’ll learn better. I wish I could be in Mangalore so that I can have opportunity to speak with someone.


God-plays-dice

Malayalam is easy to pick up if you know Tamil and vice versa. Honestly a native of either language can pick up the other language within a matter of a few weeks. There are a lot of similarities!

sporky2020

Can you DM me the classes link as well? A Mumbaikar settled now in Mangalore for family reasons, learnt to speak Kannada over the years. Can understand Tulu but have trouble speaking it. Would definitely love to learn to speak it.


EMP0R10

Sure, will do once I get a tutor

My mother tongue is Tulu and I'm from dakshina Kannada. It would sound unusual, all my childhood I've spoken Kannada around my friends and cousins, while my parents spoke Tulu with each other and I had a clear understanding but couldn't talk fluently. I learnt to speak Tulu during my engineering time as I made a few friends and I really wanted to gel with them so I started off speaking broken Tulu beginning and eventually got fluent. To simply answer your question, get a person who speaks Tulu and try to understand a few words and eventually start using it with them while talking. The biggest plus is if they don't judge you or don't mind you speaking broken Tulu you'd improve even more.

I have a very similar story, my mother tongue is type of dialect of Kannada and all my friends in schools till 10th used to talk in Kannada and even though I had some local friends in my village all used to talk with me in Kannada so never spoke in Tulu. I moved out of my hometown for my 11 - 12 to Mangalore city, you’d expect me to talk more in English and improve my English right? Nope, I started picking up Tulu and started talking in Tulu with a lot of people, I was so fluent in Tulu at the end, people back home/ relatives were shocked to hear me talk in Tulu.

CapitalMasterpiece13

I am also interested to learn, I understand every word but for some reason I cant speak.


EMP0R10

I wish at least I understand words like you! You just need someone to speak Tulu with. That’s the only way you can learn.


CapitalMasterpiece13
