    මේ වාක්‍ය ටික කියන්න පුළුවන් එක එක විදි 3 ක් හරි at least 2ක් හරි කියන්න


    1.ඔයා කිව්වා නේද ඔයාට ඉංග්‍රීසි වලට වඩා ජර්මන් සමීපයි කියලා? ඔයා ජර්මානු සම්භවයක් තියෙන කෙනෙක් ද?

    2.ඒ ගැන මම ටිකක් සතුටු වෙනවා ටිකක් දුක් වෙනවා.

    3. වේදනාව දුක් පාළුව මට හොදට පුරුදු දේවල්

    4. නිතරම දැනීම නිසා ඒක නොදැනෙන තත්වයට පත් වෙලා හරියට වායුගෝලීය පීඩනය වගේ


    never ever
    Perhaps වචන use කරන වාක්‍යවලට උදාහරණ දෙන්න සිංහල තේරුමත් දාන්න.


    මගෙනුත් දෙයක් ඔන්න.

    Gotta - got to
    Lemme - let me
    Gimme - give me
    Outta - out of
    Imme - I'm going to
    Hafta - have to

    1. You told me once you are more familiar with English rather Germen. what is your progeny? are you German ?

    2. I feel happy about that as well as sad.
    3. pain, sadness, loneliness are things that are very usual for me.

    You mentioned that German is more familiar to you than English. Are you of German origins ?

    2.ඒ ගැන මම ටිකක් සතුටු වෙනවා ටිකක් දුක් වෙනවා.

    I'm both happy and sad about that.

    3. වේදනාව දුක් පාළුව මට හොදට පුරුදු දේවල්

    I'm quite familiar with being hurt and alone.


    4. නිතරම දැනීම නිසා ඒක නොදැනෙන තත්වයට පත් වෙලා හරියට වායුගෝලීය පීඩනය වගේ

    So used to it to the point that its not even effecting, like the pressure of the atmosphere

    Never ever use these in any kind of prose. Unless, perhaps, you want to be considered as a 7 year old American kid writing the said prose.

    just study OL/ AL lit guides and try to read novels. I've studies English lit for OLs but I got only C pass because I was very lazy at o/l era. Now I'm really sad about missing that great chance to polish my knowladge. Watch English movies profuced in India and some eastern countries. Further more you can try sex stories written in English.:lol: because seemingly you are a sex pervert:yes::lol:

    Below was my approach in learning the language. See if it helps.


    Thinking in English helps a lot. Allows you to sort out the structure of sentences.

    Reading good books helps. Shakespeare ranks on top but obviously not a must, as his use of the language is most certainly not for every day use. Classics, yes. Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, etc. These will enhance your vocabulary.



    Good novels helps a lot too. For me, it was Arthur C. Clerk, Edgar Wallace, Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, P.G. Wodehouse, Clive Cussler, Enid Blyton, Frank Richards.
    These really helped me in understanding how to use the language to describe, well basically, anything and of cause the casual use of it during conversations.
    Also, good magazines such as the Reader's Digest and news papers. These days though, News papers may not be the best thing to read, considering the content and the lack of proof reading.



    Also good movies and TV shows. Specially the old BBC tv series such as Sherlock Holmes, Jeeves & Wooster, Blake's 7, etc.


    A word on the classics, read the unabridged original versions and not the simplified ones and use a dictionary when you come across words you are not familiar with.


    Finally, having conversations with people who are has better knowledge and are willing to correct you, certainly helps.

    Agreed, though AL Lit used to have Shakespeare, and I'm not a fan of his work..

    Watch English movies profuced in India and some eastern countries.
    I'm guessing you meant "produced" ? either way, a terrible idea. I do not recommend this.

    Further more you can try sex stories written in English.:lol: because seemingly you are a sex pervert:yes::lol:
    :rofl: :rofl: In that case, books by Eric Van Lustbader or Anne Rice will be right up his ally.
