About Dilshan Jayasinha I help people learn Sinhala, the main Sri Lankan language, with the minimum needed effort. I spend my days obsessively deconstructing the Sinhala language (I'm WEIRD like that) and I share what I discover through video tutorials, audio podcasts, flash cards, and blog posts (I'm FUN like that) and oh, I even give away a free copy of my Sinhala phrases eBook (I'm AWESOME like that!). This blog is for anyone interested in learning “good-enough” Sinhala but who doesn’t have the time, the need, or is just too damn lazy to become an expert in it. NamoBuddhaya Dilshan, You have done it again Ever since I found your blog, I have been listening you your 8 podcast and they never fail to get my attention. I want to learn to speak and understand Sinhala as I have Sri Lankan friends that are not well verse in English. You have made it possible for me to at least try to speak simple and smart Sinhala. I must be honest, it is not easy and I have to replay again and again.

Your passion for breaking the Sinhala language down to people like me is deeply appreciated.bohooma sthuuthiyithank you very much p/s I hope I got it right With Metta Wee Ck. HI Wee, You’re very generous with your compliments. Thank you, I really appreciate it. And yes, you got “bohooma sthuuthiyi” right, well done. My advice would be to first focus on speaking a few a words and phrases and only after that to try to understand what your friends are saying.

The reason I say this is because most Sri Lankans tend to speak Sinhala rather quickly and I know many of my readers who have got discouraged because they don’t immediately understand what people are saying. Therefore, I think that if you approach it by first developing your range of understanding, later on it should be easy for you “decode” the Sri Lankan who speaks Sinhala at lightning speed.

Keep up your enthusiasm for learning. I am glad to be able to help you. Hi Sue, I’m happy that it didn’t come across as too confusing.

I can appreciate that it’s not that easy to digest all the new words at one time so I’m very glad that I managed to simplify it to some extent. Thanks for all those flattering adjectives too, very kind of you. About “Step-father”, I’ll have to double-check this but I believe you could say either “ku∙dȧ thaath∙tha” or “ku∙dap∙pa”.

But let me get back to you once I ask this from people who know Sinhala better than me. I do know for sure that “step-mother” is “ku∙dam∙ma” but only 80% sure about “step-father”. Hello Dilshan, I am very enthusiastic about your blog and have recommended it to several people and all of them agree with me, that there ain’t no better way of learning sinhala! Your latest addition is as delightful and formidable as all the previous ones. Hats off to that perfect and easy to understand family tree drawing. You are one hell of a multi talented god-sent fellow!:) Thank you once again. As for the quiz my answers are: in this particular case niece is ayi-ya-ge dhu-wa and nephew is nan-gi-ge pu-thaa Please check a ‘tiny beauty blemish’ in section Generation (-1) Your children: When clicking on sound icon for dhu-wa one hears you pronouncing the word nan-gi.

Hi Ingrid, First off all, thanks for pointing out the error in the sound file. Looks like my brain had a hiccup at that point:) It has been corrected now thanks to you. Thank you also for the amazingly positive feedback about my modest little blog (“there ain’t no better way of learning sinhala!”). It makes me very happy that you’ve told your friends about it too. “One hell of a multi talented god-sent fellow!” haha, now THAT is going either onto my CV (if I can find it) or my headstone, or both!:) People close to me accuse me (they’re wrong of course) of having a larger than average ego Let’s just say that your comment doesn’t help Seriously though, thanks for the awesome compliment.

Regarding the quiz, correct on both. Now, are you ready for a slightly more difficult one? Here goes: Instead of using “nyaathi sahodhariya” or “kasin nangi” how else would you introduce your female cousin who happens to be the daughter of your aunt (your mother’s younger sister). Clue: You need to translate the phrase: “This is my mother’s younger-sister’s daughter”. All you need to answer this is in the post above. Thanks again for the comment. Hi Laura, yes, “atha” is also possible (in fact, even “muththa”) but I didn’t want to overload you guys with the 101 different names for grandfather:) I must admit that I’ve never heard of “loku thaaththa” being used for grandfather though, are you sure he didn’t mean “loku seeya”?
