  • Ñiangkongwieng khlem snier

    Ka jingong Khasi "Ñiangkongwieng khlem snier" ka ring jingmut na ka jingpah kaba mih na ka kpoh jong ka ñiangkongwieng kaba dap da ka lyer, hynrei kaba lah ban pah baroh shi sngi. Kane ka jingong ka thew ïa u briew uba heh tang ka tyngam bad ka khlem kam; u briew uba put ronsing ïalade tangba ubym larkam eiei ruh.

    The Khasi phrase "Ñiangkongwieng khlem snier" focusses on the loud sound emanating from the porous abdomen of the cicada, to describe a person who is a big talker but never accomplishes anything. He likes to blow his own trumpet but in reality, he is useless and has no substance.

    We need to develop and grow the reading culture in our indigenous language otherwise our language and literature will not stand the test of time. 🕐🕔 It's happening already. Many Khasi books are out of print. We applaud those who are trying to publish old editions again!👏👏👏

    Most of the sayings or phrases we know are spoken to us by our family or friends. Those spoken by our grandparents are especially important because they were a generation untouched by globalisation. 🏞️🌾

    Do you remember before how when we were playing with other children, our mothers would call us home for tea or dinner? 😆😄😂 Mother's voice would echo across the evening sky, through bamboo stirring in the breeze 🥺❤️ Nowadays we don't hear mothers calling like that anymore.
