I don't think that anybody really uses words like haunt...I didn't know what it meant either ..but I gather that It means something like a "hang out" a place where a bunch of friends meet up and kill the time or do whatever

Fed up - එපා වෙලා,
I'm fed up with this job.
I resigned because I was fed up.
thanks for twisted, for showing my error.

Fed up - එපා වෙලා,

language mean a express our feelings to other people... thts y we need a international language like English.. so dont toooo much consider about the grammer.. if u can express wht u wanna express thts also no problem.. but when we speak in professionally we need grammer.. and Sri lankan people r always seeking our grammer mistakes.. i have so many experiences. But this is not our mother language.. otherwise foreigners also doesn't consider about grammer... LOL SL people always seeking mistakes
