@@beerusreal6 I don't think you understand the concept behind calling out a joke.. well can't really blame you at the end of the day you did laugh at it. And also if you don't know the meaning of cringey you could have just asked lol
It is because in Indian census we are asked our first language..Mr.Shashi Tharoor being a malayali, his first language is malayalam. Only people whose first language is English is considered as English speaker, not people who are comfortable with speaking English.Yeah it is ridiculous!
That's the reason I hate my country , people don't tend to speak their regional languages , they think it's cool speaking english whereas in Japan , s korea , china they take pride in their language and nobody cares about english even though english is taught in their schools.
Awesome, as always, Mr. Tharoor! For those who like to know more about words, the word 'brinjal' has its root in Portuguese. As you know part of India was ruled by Portuguese (पुर्तगाली). Goa still has most of the names from Portuguese colonists (not English). In Portuguese, 'berinjela' means eggplant and that became 'brinjal' in India. As we considered every foreigner as 'गोरा' and that by inference meant English, it all added to our English dictionary. I am sure there are many other words in Indian English that are rooted in Portuguese. The word 'आया' for nurse is from Portuguese word 'aia' for nurse. Hope you enjoyed this tiny tidbit. Thanks.

You are "Tharoored" when you encounter a word you have not heard before. Hypertharooroidism is an extreme case with the following symptoms.. 1) Your mouth forms an "O" 😮 2) Brain heats up due to overuse 🤯 3) Eyes starts rolling uncontrollably 🤪
"kattu" in Tamil means "to tie" and " maram" means " tree". Hence "kattu maram" means "trees tied together". Fishermen in our state tie a couple of logs of wood together which looks like a raft. This we call "kattu maram". "kattu" does not mean "to cut"
Catamaran means a watercraft (a type of boat) so guessing from the context, i would say he means kattai (block) maram or fallen/ dead tree that you can use as a raft.

The same goes for brinjal. What I found in searching the origin of the word is that a French painter Claude Aubriet who lived in seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was famous for his works on botanical objects. A purple-colour funnel-shaped flower of a bushy plant is named aubergine after the name of this painter. The fruit of the plant is also called aubergine in French. It retains its name in English. But in North America the fruit is called eggplant due to its large oval shape. The name aubergine changed to berinjela in Portuguese. The fruit was introduced to India by Portuguese sailors. The South Indians changed the name from berinjela to brinjal. Since the fruit was brought to India by Europeans, and Indians have a common tendency to confuse all Europeans for Englishmen, the term brinjal is mistakenly considered an English word in India.
I was that kid Dr Tharoor is talking about at the start of this video. I was a part of Bihar's team at National Children's Science Congress 2019. A student representative from each state was given a chance to interact with Dr Tharoor. And I exactly remember the incident I asked him "You have a very elegant wordlist,would you introduce me to a new one?" He replied -"READ! you will find your one"
Don’t just be a fan of his English vocabulary and dictation he is also a very knowledgeable man with a lot of experience in international relations and politics. There is a lot to learn from him . We Indians usually neglect the meat of the speech and get overawed by the way one speaks and not by what the content of the speech .

It's always an absolute pleasure listening to Tharoor Sir's English, but the interviewer is worth listening to as well. He has done his homework really well and has contributed valuable inputs through out the session. Also, he was really smooth in taking the interview forward.
I used to get high scores in English during school time,I thought I am very good at English,but after hearing him speaking I started feeling like I don't even know 10% English 😆😆😆
Catamaran is not "cut wood" as Shashi Tharoor explained. In Tamil கட்டு "Kattu" means To Tie. Pieces of wood are tied with rope to function as a make-shift floater. This is the etymology for Kattu-maram which then made its way as 'catamaran' into .en
I too was surprised when Dr. Tharoor said that. Actually, both the Dravidian root words mean the same in Malayalam as well. Probably he was thinking about 'cut' in English and it was just an error. In fact many (not all) of the Tamil words that have made it into English mean the same in Malayalam also (eg. cash, mango, mullaga twany, caunjee ...) as Malalayam allows the use of many pure Tamil (Dravidian) words, many even in daily conversations.
When this man dies a library burns - But I wish you a long and peaceful life - Mr. Tharoor ! You certainly make India proud and Native English speakers are being put to test quite often .
The kind of enthusiasm this guy has in learning more about different aspects is amazing. He is a true leader, one that can be seen as a role model for the generations to come.
Pronunciation was a British colonial style where despite the fact that Indians got very good with english they always condemned indians down because of the pronunciation. Work on your vocabulary not on pronunciation:))

I think okra or bhindi is known as ladies finger only in India😂 ...I live abroad and still remember going to supermarket and asking for ladies finger.. the store lady was shocked and looked at me like 'what the hell'😂😂 ..I searched in Google and showed it to her .she laughed and screamed 'ohh okra'..then she guided me to correct place where it's written okra not ladies finger😛😛 it was so funny and embarassing
The same goes for brinjal. What I found in searching the origin of the word is that a French painter Claude Aubriet who lived in seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was famous for his works on botanical objects. A purple-colour funnel-shaped flower of a bushy plant is named aubergine after the name of this painter. The fruit of the plant is also called aubergine in French. It retains its name in English. But in North America the fruit is called eggplant due to its large oval shape. The name aubergine changed to berinjela in Portuguese. The fruit was introduced to India by Portuguese sailors. The South Indians changed the name from berinjela to brinjal. Since the fruit was brought to India by Europeans, and Indians have a common tendency to confuse all Europeans for Englishmen, the term brinjal is mistakenly considered an English word in India.
Oh shit that was funny 👌

When Shashi started talking to Wren and Martin, they defenestrated themselves. ie- out of the window
may be with Shakespear also
I guess you got the word "defenstrated" from The Quint's video

Defenestration was a word made to describe what the Hussites did to corrupted Catholics burger council members in Prague

I was that kid Dr Tharoor is talking about at the start of this video. I was a part of Bihar's team at National Children's Science Congress 2019.
A student representative from each state was given a chance to interact with Dr Tharoor. And I exactly remember the incident
I asked him "You have a very elegant wordlist,would you introduce me to a new one?"
He replied -"READ! you will find your one"
Interesting
Don’t just be a fan of his English vocabulary and dictation he is also a very knowledgeable man with a lot of experience in international relations and politics. There is a lot to learn from him . We Indians usually neglect the meat of the speech and get overawed by the way one speaks and not by what the content of the speech .
Yeaahh

Greetings from Sri Lanka
Politics aside, this man is a gem. We need more people like him in our country.
No always say that i want to be like him rather than saying that we want more people like him. Let the need to become someone start from you .
How can a people be so dumb like you
If a person is perfect in a language it does not mean he a gem
@@funnyboy-sx1gf anyone can be a gem i guess.. it could be probably that the person (glossyfier)commenting looks upto shashi tharoor as his idol and consider him a gem in his eyes. There's is nothing being dumb or wrong in that....
@@funnyboy-sx1gf by the way if you read about his achievements in the field of English , he is literally considered as a gem.. he even have coined many words which have made up into the dictionary.
@@funnyboy-sx1gf yeah right ? If a person spends years of his life learning a particular subject, mastering it coining new stuff which are used widely, that person should not be considered as a gem! Wtf this is atrocious.
He should start his own political party.. with educated people.. he is being wasted in Congres.
I donf think so
Maybe his own party of wife murderers...
@Ben Parkin I wouldn’t if he wasn’t a public figure 🙄
Finally i realised that "truth" after watching this video

If i was in front of Tharoor then definitely I wouldn't be able to talk a single even in Hindi
😂😂😂
Very good speech I like it
*People flex dresses.
*Shashi sir flexes his english.
Loved the interview man ❤️.
The word I would introduce him to is "read", that way I wouldn't have to spoon feed him, he'd find his own new words.
What a man!! 👏👏

He is from Kerala
So that is obvious
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh !

@@roxysach bro.. don't make silly arguments like this. India doesn't even have a national language. Both hindi and english are considered as the official language of india.
india is a land of diverse culture, tradition and languages. even though hindi is spoken by the majority, indian constitution doesn't impose it on all the people.
and, no on is ashamed to be known as an indian. we are proud to be indians. at the same time, we are proud to be malayalis or tamizhar, as we have a very different culture and tradition from the majority of the nation.
pls don't generalize and judge people. plss
I am big fan of his English
Uxoricide
I'm an amateur of learning new words ...and this man is providing an amazing "farrago" of words ..
It's always an absolute pleasure listening to Tharoor Sir's English, but the interviewer is worth listening to as well. He has done his homework really well and has contributed valuable inputs through out the session. Also, he was really smooth in taking the interview forward.
When Shashi Tharoor spoke in Oxford Union, Oxford dictionary had to add a few new words to it.
I used to get high scores in English during school time,I thought I am very good at English,but after hearing him speaking I started feeling like I don't even know 10% English 😆😆😆
5:38 Catamaran - Kattu Maram - "Kattu" in tamil is "tie" not "cut". Kattu Maram because the logs are tied together.
Vannakam nanba
Catamaran is not "cut wood" as Shashi Tharoor explained. In Tamil கட்டு "Kattu" means To Tie. Pieces of wood are tied with rope to function as a make-shift floater. This is the etymology for Kattu-maram which then made its way as 'catamaran' into .en
I too was surprised when Dr. Tharoor said that. Actually, both the Dravidian root words mean the same in Malayalam as well. Probably he was thinking about 'cut' in English and it was just an error. In fact many (not all) of the Tamil words that have made it into English mean the same in Malayalam also (eg. cash, mango, mullaga twany, caunjee ...) as Malalayam allows the use of many pure Tamil (Dravidian) words, many even in daily conversations.
I also wanted to mention it but you much ahead of me,haha

Hi! Would you like to practice speaking in English with me?
The fact that this man literally knows so much is scary.
His eyes wander alot but still in focus. Mesmerizing.
Thats why guys we always need to learn the pronunciation with being fluent offcourse. Most Indians skip this pronounciation step.
Bohot English janta hai,,, Cricket Khelega?
Pronunciation was a British colonial style where despite the fact that Indians got very good with english they always condemned indians down because of the pronunciation. Work on your vocabulary not on pronunciation:))

"Furlong" is a Tamil word, "parlong" a unit of measurement for distance.
Yes, we do use it in our measurement! My dad used it always!
furlong is also used in hindi as measurement of destance
Even in telugu it is called parlong
Its used in marathi as well. But original persian word.
There's also falaang in Hindi... Which loosely translated means a jump... That is similar too I thought
This man's voice and his way of speech is just so pleasing to hear.
