“ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ! ನಾನು ಮಂಜು, ವಾಕ್ಯೋ ಇಂದ ಮಾತಾಡ್ತಿದ್ದೀನಿ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆರ್ಡರ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಫೋನ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀನಿ. ಈಗ ಎರಡು ನಿಮಿಷ ಮಾತಾಡಬಹುದಾ?”On the phone
How Kannada sounds on a call
Kannada on a business call is polite and a little formal: "heli", "maadi", with sir and madam as often as in English. In Bengaluru callers mix in English constantly; in north Karnataka they stay in Kannada, with their own turns of phrase.
The agent speaks spoken Kannada rather than the written form, understands the English words in between, and reads ₹1,500 as "saavirada ainooru".
