Ok, I am no linguist, but I do have nuts and bolts knowledge of linguistic: two courses and copious amount of books. Anyway, today I was struck by a sublime feeling, and a feeling of “what it’s to be human”.
Before letting you know about the incident, let me explain you about Human Language. Like Spider spin web, birds fly; we human are born with our language skill; A thing unique to us. The only species, which can communicate, and entice emotions, through written signs. The only species, whose testosterone level can be increased only by speaking @$#$ $@$ @$@. Language is so unique to us.
Now, a little skeptic inside you must be pitching, that if this is so, than it means Indians are born with Hindi speaking language, and in England people are born with English speaking English. Well, the answer is YES|NO.
Yes, because we are born with a language, and no because we are all, I mean we all human, are born with a “mental grammar”, hard wired into our brain. This Hindi or English are just the clothes, through which we dress up this “mental grammar”. But beneath this, things remain the same. And I got a good taste of this mental grammar, and more importantly, how “hard wired” and how “innate” language is to human.
One of my colleagues, while conversing spoke,
“voh , Nula kaa excavation kaissa kurenga.”
And a thought struck in my head, the same type of strike, which Newton felt , when an apple fell on his head, rather than surreptitiously eating it, he thought , why it fall from the top to bottom. Well, my head was racing with this question.
Assuming, he did not have the correct Hindi word for excavation, he could have used the word “excavate”, rather than straining his tongue for that extra “shun…”
I mean, what he intended to say, would have made no difference, if he had said,
“voh, Nula kaa excavate kaissa kurenga”.
Ok, I thought and I thought, and I thought. (Thinking is not innate in us, only few like us possess….hail mitesh…)
I tried to use my linguistic observation skill, and made certain sentences.
1> Raghu nain ram kaa katla kiya. ( katla is a noun in Hindi)
2> Raghu nain ram kaa murder kiya.( murder is a noun)
3> “voh , Nula kaa excavation kaissa kurenga.”( excavation is a noun)

Hence my colleague, use of words was perfect. And if he wanted to use, the word excavate, all he needed to do, is to use “ka” instead of ‘ko”. Now, I don’t know about others, but before doing this analysis, my commonsense told me, what is correct, it is all because of the “mental grammar” inside us.

4> Raghu nain football ko kick kiya ( kick is a verb)
5> Raghu nain ram ko maara(thupud is a verb)
6> “voh, Nula kaa excavate kaissa kurega” ( excavate is noun)

Now it means so much to us, Upun Hindi English ko mix kur sakta hai, it’s a badhiya mix. koi fault nahin hoga, because upna mental grammar will take care.

But why I had a sublime feeling, is not because of this linguistic experience, but a slightly experience, it’s the experience, that there is so much inside us, so much potential we have, there are so much thing within us to appreciate this “experience to be human”, but still we care about is about our new iphones or wii consoles.
