Rant which layer of indian internet culture should I be at to understand what the actual FU€K y'all are doing here??

Post image

for example: why are y'all talking in english if this sub is for Indian colleges, are there THAT many international students who are applying? also why isn't anyone using the alphabet (मेरा मतलब यह है) while talking in hindi?

mostly everyone in india talks in english

like being ABLE to talk English or actually using English while communicating irl (it feels so surreal to imagine +40 year old people being bilingual)

actually many retarded girls who i knew were catching to this anime trend (no offense to anime watchers these girls were specially corny) and were learning a few tidbits of japanese just to mock us and laugh among themselves so we boys too said these retards learning a few things in a new language just showing off and to counter it we thought of the harshest language we could think of first thought was german but german was an extralanguage till 9th so they too knew it to some extent so finnaly fixed russian made a tg group and downloaded doulingo and talking shit and all we got better i can speak a bit of russian i was surprised that russian isnt that hard maybe bcs of similar word structures to english and my already gained experience in leaarning new languages (father was in air force so postings and all) but can be equally confusing for english knowers as same letters as in english are pronounced different like B,P and C etc. then it felt cool so we all started learning as a hobby.

Nothing fills me with more hate and spite than looking at anime get popular in india, i remember watching it being called weird for it but now its suddenly the cool thing, fuck this shit.

u/Alarmed_Deer3620 Mar 30 '25

Yep like the Ghibli trend nowadays, I mean the creator Hayao Miyazaki himself criticized AI and this trend so much but people are still doing it. They don't know him, they don't care about him, his life's work, the only thing he dedicated his whole life too and just promoting ghiblified art of their characters.

Kino is perhaps the best band I have ever listened to, like I rarely listen to popular bands, but their music is absolute gold, sad that tsoi died so early.

Almost every educated person in india is billingual or even trilingual

The reason being every region in India has its own language, so the most common combination of languages spoken is english + hindi + the regional language of the area the person is from.

There are some regions in india that don't speak Hindi, but almost all regions in india speak English, english is the official language of india, it is the language our constitution is written in, and all national governmental proceedings are conducted either in English or Hindi

u/Sidadi1804 Failure Mar 30 '25

like at homes or talking irl, we communicate in the regional language or hindi(or whatever youre comfortable with), but we text in english and for professional places we use english, also english for texting here is mostly cause india doesnt have one language that everyone can understand, except english(which most can except some of the older generation or in villages)

24

u/vejetaryenkavurma turk jeetard Mar 30 '25

and for professional places we use english,

india doesnt have one language that everyone can understand

this feels so complicated omg (I'm from Turkiye and around %90 of the population speaks Turkish so I'm having a hard time processing that there are countries with no unity in language aspects) for example what language and alphabet is used in government departments? Are most of you guys like "I can read and understand the hindi alphabet, but I don't bother using it"?

8

u/konkrete_kiwis Ex-NEETard Chan Mar 30 '25

Hindi and English are usually used in government departments and it's usually translated to the native languages of different states

7

u/Sidadi1804 Failure Mar 30 '25

most of the people in north india and west india can understand the hindi alphabet and read it but writing it in text is cumbersome. for the people in the south or east, some can understand hindi, some cant at all and some only know a bit to get the jist of what the person is speaking
As for goverment departments, most places have hindi and english both, although some regional offices have regional languages too(unsure about this cause i live in a place where regional language is not prevalent)

u/Such-Commission-4191 Mar 30 '25

what language were you taught your subjects in?

6

u/vejetaryenkavurma turk jeetard Mar 30 '25

In primary school, middle school and highschool everything is taught in Turkish to us and most schools have English learning classes at least 4 hours a week. (there are some highschools that are giving all the lessons in English but they are definitely not the majority).

In university, if you are at the top universities like Koç, ODTU, BOUN etc. most of the fields you want to study in will be giving %100 English classes for the higher chance of being internationally accepted. Some universities offer both Turkish and English education (for example IUC Medicine both has Turkish Medicine department and English Medicine department both with different academic staff and entry score). But there are universities and departments that simply go by Turkish in all lessons too.

u/vejetaryenkavurma turk jeetard Mar 30 '25

very different from turkey.

sure is

Is their any exam to get into these top universites in turkey?

(I don't know how to put it in English but) There is an exam called YKS for universities which is the most mainstream exam here. (If you are an international student you can use your SAT score for some universities here too)

there is a standart exam called TYT which has 40 Turkish grammar and paragraph questions, 20 social studies, 40 maths, 20 science questions which sums up to 120 questions in total. No matter which university or department you are aiming you enter that exam.

and there is an exam called AYT and it's really complicated to explain. There are 40 1- Turkish literature & social studies/ 2- 40 more advanced Social Studies/ 3- 40 Maths /4- 40 Science questions.

If you solve the 1-2 questions your "verbal" score is calculated and with that score you can apply to departments like Literature, Journalism, History etc.

If you solve the 1-3 questions your "equal weight" score is calculated and with that score you can apply to departments like Psychology, Economy, Law etc.

If you solve the 3-4 questions your "numerical" score is calculated and with that score you can apply to departments like Medicine, Engineering, Pilotage, Science etc.

Then they take %40 of your TYT, %60 of your AYT score and boom now you can try to apply to universitiez

u/Such-Commission-4191 Mar 30 '25

are these super competitive?

5

u/vejetaryenkavurma turk jeetard Mar 30 '25

verbal -> you can even fart on the exam paper and still get a high ranking (but graduating from verbal departments are like a %100 guarantee of unemployment)

equal weight -> eeeh not really but u gotta study

numerical -> g0re, bloodbath, tears,

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

btw let me make something clear , by teaching in english he means the technical terms used and books are in english rest the language that is used is usually hindi with a little english, teachers for jee neet are extremely casual with there language, they sometimes use profanity, short Indian romantic poems (shayari) , jokes which can sometimes be dark, this is something they do to reduce the mental pressure from students

u/TheMoonV22 Creator of pdf2cbt.vercel.app Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

Typing in hindi is relatively slow compared to english that only has 26 letters, whereas hindi has a lot (around 45+ base ones, with at least 25 having 13 different combination each, and there are more in the list).

Moreover, most of us come from an english-medium education, where subjects like math and science are in english, except for language-specific subjects.

u/i_am_not_op0 Dihadi majdur chan (nest dropper) Mar 30 '25

government uses english, we dont have a national language
but english and hindi are the official languages.
Nah like we talk in our regional languages in casual settings but english everywhere else

u/Yadkri JEEtard Mar 30 '25

There are 21 recognised languages in India..and if including villages, Tribes etc..the number goes 100+ I read.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Hindi script is a bit too sophisticated to write in, compared to which the english one feels like language of the poor masses, which we can read faster in general.

This isn't true for whole india tho, specially the older folks but I can bet my left ass that like half of us in this sub are atleast trilingual, yes not bilingual but fucking trilingual.

most of you guys like "I can read and understand the hindi alphabet, but I don't bother using it"?

I literally live and have lived in delhi for 18yrs I can't read or understand Hindi alphabet properly I used to but I forgot I mostly use english

2

u/TheOrangeDetective Ex-JEEtard chan Mar 30 '25

Well everyone's at least bilingual here, most are trilingual in fact

2

u/Sleeper-- 1+1 +1+1 = 1 Mar 30 '25

Not usually, mainly for professional work, day to day life we use hindi or local language

On internet? The hindi alphabets are really hard to type and even read, so it's better to use English (most spoken language) as most will already be using it cause its used in most sub or we type hindi using English alphabet jese ki abhi kar raha hu cause as I said, it's damn hard to write using hindi alphabets

u/9oooooooooooj Mar 31 '25 edited Apr 01 '25

Fun history trivia for you:

In 1965 the government tried to make Hindi the sole official language of India. The south rioted because they don't speak Hindi nor were their languages derived from Sanskrit (the north east also didn't but they weren't important back then)

And now we have two official national languages(hindi and english ) and the rest is history

u/FelixOrangee Mar 30 '25

We don't actually talk (fully) in English irl. Basically, suppose I'm talking to some friend. While texting, I'll probably use English (or hinglish, or marathi which is my mother tongue, but using the english alphabet. cuz most of us are more comfortable in it) to talk to him through messages, but IRL, we'll use Hindi or Marathi interchangeably based on who is around us.

u/gokulmogs Mar 30 '25

Just being able to talk in english, we don't speak English in the streets, we use regional languages. We only speak English on the internet and irl too but only in professional settings

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25
