New Delhi: Over half of city Indians (about 51 per cent) use phrases or phrases from particular regional languages to precise love language or in humorous or witty conditions, which can’t be absolutely translated into English, in keeping with a report on Monday.
The report by Duolingo, a language studying platform, is predicated on a survey achieved in collaboration with YouGov to gauge the attitudes of city Indians towards language and expression.
The findings revealed that over half (51 per cent) of Indians usually incorporate distinctive phrases (from completely different languages) into their each day conversations.

Additional, 51 per cent confessed to utilizing these expressions as phrases of endearment or love language or to inject humour and wit into their interactions.
