    Rote learning
    Parroting
    මට තේරෙන විදිහ කියන්නම්. Rote learn කියන එක වාක්‍යයක යෙදුවොත් මෙහෙම එනවනේ
    He is rote learning all the causes for depression. ඒක ටිකක් නැචුරල් නෑ නේද. සාමාන්‍යයෙන් parrot කියන්නේ ඒකෙ අර්ථය වැඩිය care කරන්නැතුව කට පාඩම් කරන එක. He is parroting all the causes for depression. ඉතින් මට හිතෙන විදිහට ඔයාට සුදුසුම වචනය" learn " . He is learning all the causes for depression . මමත් හරියටම දන්නෑ ඉතින් මට හිතන විදිහ තමා කිව්වේ

    අදාළ නෑ නේ
    parroting is just repeating what you've heard or read without actually understanding the meaning or like a parrot
    if that's the meaning you're looking for then I think rote learning would be more suitable while parroting in this context would be a more disparaging term for this type of studying

    In English you will run into certain situations when you can't find a direct word to word translation from another language. This can be easily remedied with use of expressive writing.

    No one who writes and speak English will go over the top to find a word to express this in exact way you would say in Sinhala, rather will come up with a clever sentence maybe with little bit of humor in it to express the true feeling.

    "අරූ කටපාඩම් කරල තමා විභාගෙ පාස් උනේ"

    That fellow was an absolute parrot when it comes to studying, manages to pass most exams with sheer memorizations but I wouldn't be asking any serious subject matter from the fellow.
