Ha..ha.. if you be active here for the next 6 months... you'll learn Sinhalese than your wify :lol: :lol: Seriously!!

I think you really have a genuine interest to learn it.... anyone would be happy to teach you Sinhalese, and you'll get the same hospitality that you get in SL!!

I knew kiri but didn't know ela. Thanx.. Another word in mage dictionary.

Actually Ekakiri has a much deeper meaning..

From ancient times Sri Lankan's had a tendency to treat "Milk" as a sign of prosperity, Milk is bonded with our lives so much... if you see carefully you'll see that "Milk" has a very special place in Sri Lankan culture.. especially in Sinhalese and Tamil cultures...

We commence the new year by boiling a pot of milk until it over pours, which implies "Let this new year be overflowed with prosperity"... and you might have definitely tasted "Kiri Bath" (Milk Rice) that's the 1st meal we take in every new year... and essential part of our New Year!! And not only that......... every time we commence a new thing, a new beginning let it be... New Business, New Job, New House Warming..... Milk Rice (Kiri Bath) is there.... its the "Milk" the liquid... and "Rice" the staple Sri Lankan diet... nourished our ancestors to build such marvels that you see in Anuradhapua Pollonaruwa... so the we keep the tradition alive!!

"Milk" is so closely related with Sri Lankan lives... we even have a saying "Kiri gahata anna wage" which means "like you struck the milk tree" use to imply that "it was very successful"

So know you know why this site is called ELA + KIRI...

Cheers!! ;)

certainly do malli. I feel at home here.. I feel more Sinhalese than English at the moment. A lot of mage yaluwa in Sri Lanka can't wait to leave SL.. I'm opposite.. I can't wait to live there. I live as the locals do when i'm there. I don't go for luxuries. I have friends who come over & visit and they all want hot showers, western food & travelling in AC cars. I eat in some dodgy kade's, travel everywhere on normal buses.. I even wear a sarong all the time!

i am a proper Sudha Sinhala kolla!
