Impulse as in "sexual impulse", "religious impulse" and so on.

Not necessarily looking for a literal translation but one that fits in these kind of phrases.

Before going to the main topic, let me talk about myself,

I am a 16 yo Telugu boy and I grew up in Chennai. I don't know much Telugu because Tamil was the language I had to choose in the school. During the lockdown, along with learning web development and other things, I learnt Telugu to a level so that I can communicate with others and started to read and write Telugu lipi to some extent. Now, I have recently shifted to Bangalore and going to give my JEE Advanced and I will be entering a college soon.

And, I have created about 10 web projects in the past 3 years and now I am deciding to contribute Telugu language using my web development skills. But, the problem is that, I myself am not that good with Telugu and its in depth grammar.

So, I am asking the Telugu people of this subreddit, if there is anything that I can help with? Also, if I create a website, will people be ready to volunteer? Or, maybe my idea of creating a website is not required? Please give me your opinions.

Edit: As people in the comment section have shown support, I will also write about my initial idea:

I initially planned about creating a dictionary in Telugu but for the modern day words using native Telugu vocabulary so that we don't drift away from Telugu and not totally rely on English, Sanskrit, Hindi for modern words. It is true, with time, we have to move on and adapt with society but I think that we should also focus on our language else there will be no reason left for us to learn our very own language. So, what are your opinions about my idea?

There are two things with this idea,

• I have to find people who work on Telugu and are ready to volunteer in creating new words.

• By just having the words on the website, there may be no real effect on normal telugu speaking people but will be helpful for those who are interested in using standalone telugu vocabulary.

For context we are family living in USA, I am trying to teach my toddler telugu and show her telugu based content on YouTube any recommendations are greatly appreciated

1.) Why do many people write చూశాను for చూసాను and చేశాను for చేసాను?

2.) If ఇక్కడ = ఈ + కడ(place) and ఇప్పుడు = ఈ + x, then what is x?

When I first learned the Telugu letters, I was taught that శ was pronounced as "Saa", kind of like the "Sa" in "Saturday". I remember two instances where I actually got points taken off on a test for pronouncing the words "ఆశ" (hope) and "శాయి" (ink) as "aasha" and "shaayi" - with the sh. They said it was because of my Telangana accent, and in "proper" accent it shouldn't be pronounced with the "sh". But I am starting to think that Telugu speakers just don't say this letter correctly because in most other Indian languages besides Tamil, they pronounce it as "sha". Some examples:

(btw, the english transliteration of this letter is ś, and the english transliteration for ష is ṣ"

Hindi: तमाशा (Tamāśā), Telugu: తమాషా (Tamāṣā) If you transliterated the Hindi word into Telugu, it would be "తమాశా".

Marathi: हुशार (Huśār), Telugu :హుషారు (Huṣāru) If you transliterated the Marathi word into Telugu, it would be "హుశార్".

In standard Telugu, sky (ఆకాశం) is pronounced "akasam". In Kannada, sky (ಆಕಾಶ) is prounounced "akasha".

One thing that would always trip me up is శివ. How do you pronounce the శి used here, as "sa" in Saturday?

I guess I just want to know what you all think about the pronunciation of this letter.

EDIT: just found out that in Unicode it’s marked as “sha”, and ష is “ssa”. శ is equivalent to English sha (shop, share, show). ష however doesn’t have an English equivalent, it’s said with the back of the tongue.

Hello folks,

I lived in india for 14 years and moved abroad and its been 5+ years. In India even, I lived in Gujarat so my hold on Telugu has been incredibly weak. I can talk with decent accuracy but it nowhere near the level I want (60% telugu, 30% Hindi, 10% English).

Will watching Doraemon dubbed in Telugu give me a grasp on some of the words I can use better? It is nostalgic so I wouldn't have any issues of boredom.

So, I came across this word in multiple Annamayya Sankeertanas and a few old songs. I looked up the word online and the meaning I came up was ‘అందం’ or beauty.

Can someone please clarify the meaning ? Thanks in advance.

edit: “sun” అనే పదానికి కూడా(సూర్యుడు కాకుండా)

After 19th century did telugu get any new words related to new discoveries in science that are not from Sanskrit

I wanna build my knowledge base. I’m not trying to win any awards or become fluent. But I want elementary understanding of written Telugu, grammar and idioms, and currently I can only understand spoken Telugu and speak a little bit.
