Kimono, kimono, kimono&#8230; Ha! Of course! Kimono is coming from the Greek word himona, it means winter. So, what do you wear in the wintertime to stay warm? A robe. You see; Robe, Kimono.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s Gus Portokalos from <em>My Big Fat Greek Wedding<\/em>. If Gus was a Greek to his roots, we also have the right to add our own desi spins to English. Which of the ones listed have you not heard before? Have you ever said any of these common Indianisms (we&#8217;ll call it desi-isms) to yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Desi conversation starter &#8211; <em>What is your good name?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you heard a bad name before? I\u2019m guessing the answer is never. The next time you are tempted to say that, say this instead: \u201c<strong>What\u2019s your name<\/strong>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Desi Introduction &#8211; <em>Myself Anjali. I belong to Hyderabad.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are introducing yourself, the best way to do it would be to say, <em>\u201c<strong>I am Anjali. I am from Hyderabad.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because <em>Myself<\/em> is only used if you\u2019ve already said I and you are referring to yourself again. For instance, <em>I hurt myself accidentally.<\/em> So, that way of introducing yourself is completely wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belong means to be the property of or a member of a group. For instance, that notebook belongs to Selva. Or, Kavya belongs to Toastmasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Desi apology &#8211; <em>Sorry. Kindly adjust.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You stamp someone\u2019s feet, you take something by mistake or hit someone unintentionally. A desi apology is an incomplete sentence that doesn\u2019t convey anything, much less an apology. Watch yourself before you do it and say, \u201c<strong>Excuse me. I am sorry for the inconvenience.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Desi confirmations &#8211; <em>I will intimate you.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The person who began this phrase must have really wanted to say inform, but instead decided to use intimate to sound cool. The result is very, very uncool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intimate means private and confidential. Next time around, do not intimate, simply say <em>\u201cLet me get back to you\u201d<\/em> or even, <em>\u201c<strong>Shall I check and inform you?<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Desi travel plans &#8211; <em>I am going out of station.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, if you were a British officer who worked for the East India Company and were leaving your duty station then this phrase would be right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The better thing to say the next time you are travelling would be to say <strong><em>\u201cI\u2019m going out of town.\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>Perhaps you could practice it with those pesky call centre people offering you a credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Desi email signoffs &#8211; <em>Please do the needful.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve said that in<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/step.thehindu.com\/blog\/mistakes-professional-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> your email<\/a><\/strong>, do not, we repeat DO NOT write this. If you\u2019re stuck, just write <em>\u2018<strong>Thank you for your time\u2019<\/strong><\/em> instead or repeat the action you want completed like <em>\u2018<strong>Please send the details by 10.30 am.\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Desi location sharing &#8211; <em>I\u2019m here only.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever asked yourself what is the purpose of adding <em>ONLY<\/em> to a sentence? Is it for additional stress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As tempted as you may be, put a ban on using the word \u201conly\u201d liberally in your sentences. \u201cOnly\u201d must be used only in the right places like \u201cI\u2019ve got only these receipts\u201d meaning those are the ones you have and not any other, or \u201cI\u2019ve only spoken to her\u201d meaning I\u2019ve spoken only to that girl and not any other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this list, we have told you what to look out for. Now it is your turn to practice speaking without making this errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read this blog to know the <a href=\"https:\/\/step.thehindu.com\/blog\/9-common-indianisms-to-avoid-at-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indianisms we must avoid at work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to take your English to the next level?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/step.thehindu.com\/blog\/step-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Online English Course<\/a>&nbsp;by STEP from The Hindu Group and gain the skills to speak and write English accurately and effortlessly.
