Brought back memories: My father was a Sanskrit fanatic and he and the Sanskrit pundit next door used to actually sit and talk in it in the evenings. He had my wedding invitation printed in the language (giving it pride of place over Tamil, our mother tongue).

Had 7 yrs of it in high school. Can read/write in it and recite a few declension tables now. It sure gave good enunciation practice: Today when I speak Bulgarian, people are surprised that I can say the words with "spashtam". :)

Thanks.

Hi there - is Monte Grande a city? (Pardon my ignorance)

If so, you can just say मोन्ते ग्रन्दे नगरे वसामि

I salute you sir,for your proficiency in Sanskrit.

It is really impressive that you acquired a foreign ancient language so well.I am a Indian now living in US.I can understand Sanskrit (~ 85% mainly because of Vocabulary problem),But can't really speak it so well.your effort demonstrates that nothing is really impossible.

I speak Hindi and Punjabi, and can understand parts of your Sanskrit. I'm currently studying Anglo-Saxon texts (particularly Beowulf) and other middle English texts like Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde at UBC Vancouver. I can not help but notice the striking similarity of meter (for example, in Beowulf) in Anglo-Saxon, Old English or Frisian writing and the meter in the Sutras (e.g. Gita Upanishad) written in Sanskrit. Your comments?

[LordHighXcutioner]

@mccomassanskrit: You speak a heavily accented Sanskrit, but irregardless your proficiency in it is truly admirable!

[putti8935]

[andree1991]

not even close to European languages

[realguitarshredder]

very nice.. this makes me want to learn sanskrit. I tried once after I was very influenced by the ramayana. I ordered a sanskrit-hindi book for it. read some parts but never got through completely cause of my job... you have inspired me to learn it again.

Oh, forgot: Mama kevalam ekaa patni asti. Good one.:)

[coolgalshagun]

@infinitylord08 gachhati defines the person as in "gachhati" refers to some 3rd Person( 3rd person acc to english grammar-he,she)...to define the gender u DO need to pronoun it.

he goes-sah gachhati

She goes-saa gachhati

Hope I was able to xplain!
