Indian English is spoken by over 125 million people and it does not do the needful of following British rules anymore. It has its own swagger, from "prepone" to "timepass" to calling everyone "yaar". Decades of Bollywood, cricket commentary and IT culture have made it a variety that slaps different.
India
The gems of local lingo
"Yaar, I told you not to eat the canteen biryani on a Monday. Now look at you, holding your stomach like you swallowed a grenade, and the meeting starts soon."
"Achha, so you are telling me you studied all night but somehow slept through the exam? Achha achha, very interesting story, let me just check your Netflix history real quick."
"Left for the airport three hours early and still almost missed the flight because of a full chakka jam on the highway. An overturned truck, two weddings, and a cow."
"No cable to charge the laptop, bhai used two wires and a socket adapter. Classic jugaad and it worked fine"
"Arre yaar, what bakwaas excuse is this? You were online the whole time, just say you did not want to come"
Voices of the people
Theory is all well and good... but what we Magikitos really love is hearing the people of India in their natural flow. If you know a typical expression from there, record it in the Studio using it with a real example. We will add it to the voices of your area!
