Date: April 30th, 2024 5:38 PM Author: Spruce spot "Kindly revert as soon as possible" - as in, 'please reply soon' to my email.
"Discuss about" - instead of simply 'discuss'
"Do one thing" - followed by a long list of multiple things to do. Indian phrase that is grammatically wrong, and has no meaning outside of Indian English.
"Do the needful" - Do what's necessary.
"Thank you for me calling you today."
"Prepone" - Taking the prefix pre\post and applying it to the word 'postpone'. So, prepone would be to move something sooner.
"Updation" - instead of just 'update' or instead of 'to be updated'. As well as generally adding the -tion suffix to alot of things.
"Take" - Often will say they are 'taking something' rather than 'doing something'. "Take a rest". "Take a meeting". "Take a backup".

Date: May 1st, 2024 12:20 PM Author: infuriating really tough guy Is this also Indian? It happens a lot with Hispanics because in Spanish they say "dudas y comentarios" (doubts and comments) instead of "preguntas y comentarios" (questions and comments).
So they translate questions into 'doubts'. |
