My Experience With Konkani Flowers
My first experience with Konkani flower names was really amazing because I didn’t know anything about this language. I was probably seven years old and studying in St. Anthony’s Primary School. One day miss priya told us that we had an extra period. I was happy and then I heard miss priya when she said, we’ll learn the names of these flowers in konkani(कोंकणींत फुलां येतात) today in this extra period. She picked up some flowers from school ground and we gathered around her.
She picked up daisy and said, this is “Hirva Mungya” in Konkani. We tried to say it but failed and started laughing. I don’t know all the names she said but there were 8 or 10 flowers. And one of them was marigold “Sundar Peth” and we had fun saying that too. After all the flower names we shared one by one which name we liked best. It was my first time when I heard this type of (कोंकणींत अद्वितीय फुलांचीं नांवां) unique flowers names in Konkani. It was really fun time for me in school. Have you this type of story to share it with me in the comments?
Konkani is the official language of Goa and about 2 to 3 million people speak it in India. It is also spoken in some places like Maharashtra, Kerala and Karnataka. People who speak Konkani use flowers in their regions beyond just decorations. Flowers are an important part of their everyday life including rituals and celebrations. It is because flowers are like blessings of nature to them as they represent devotion, love, respect, purity and good luck. And I also covered 100 Hindi flower names for you to check out.
