Pronounciation Guide - English To Kannada

PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
When you write Kannada words in English, pronunciation may not be accurate while reading it. Just to bridge this gap, here's the guidelines followed more commonly by many people including few language translator softwares or tools:

The vowels that are capitalized are long such as:

kEli (here E is as in Baby).
- kEli means 'ask' in English.

Ane ( here A is as in Ball).
- Ane means 'elephant' in English.

In contrast, in aDike a is short as in "arrogant".
- aDike means 'betel nut' in English.

hOda (here O is as in goal)
- hOda means 'gone' in English.

vIra (Here I is as in Meeting)
- vIra means 'winner' in English.

pUjari (here U is as in cool)
- pUjari means 'priest' in English.

Will try to cover few more words, its meaning & pronounciation during my free time.

Hope it helps!

Flash News - Audio podcasting started!

As communicated in the earlier blog, we've started Audio podcasting such that you'll get an audio version for most of the blogs that we write here at english2kannada.blogspot.com and we hope this might be of some help to understand & pronounce the words as expected.

- by www.iBangalorean.com - A netizen of Bangalore

Future: Audio version of this blog site - English To Kannada

Based on my observation and feedback it looks like there is a necessity of audio version of the blog to help the readers or visitors to understand how to exactly pronounce the word(s) or speak few sentences in Kannada.

Without audio version, there are some chances in which readers of this blog site may either mis-read or not pronounce properly because right now English equivalent Kannada words are still written in english only.

Shortly I'll try to introduce the audio version for as many blogs as possible in this blog site.

FYI, I may not be able to add the audio version or voice to each and every blog but I try to do my level best during the free time.

Hope it helps!
