- Lucas: Hey there, welcome back to Learn Telugu with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 36, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? We've come a long way. Today we're going to talk about family again. Luna: Ooh, I loved the brother and sister episode. Are we doing more? Lucas: Yes! We're moving up the family tree. Today: grandparents. Luna: Aww, that's sweet. I miss my grandparents. Lucas: Me too. Let's learn how to say them in Telugu. First up: grandfather. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Grandfather is తాతయ్య. Say it with me: తా-త-య్య. Luna: తాతయ్య. Lucas: Perfect! తాతయ్య. Luna: తాతయ్య. That's nice and melodic. Lucas: It is. Now grandmother: అమ్మమ్మ. Say it: అమ్మ-మ్మ. Luna: అమ్మమ్మ. Oh, it's like 'amma' twice! Sweet. Lucas: Exactly. అమ్మమ్మ. You got it. Luna: అమ్మమ్మ. I love that. Lucas: Now let's put them together. 'My grandfather' is నా తాతయ్య. Try it. Luna: నా తాతయ్య. Lucas: Yes! And 'my grandmother' is నా అమ్మమ్మ. Luna: నా అమ్మమ్మ. Okay, so 'naa' means 'my'. Lucas: Right. We learned that before with brother and sister. So now you can say 'my grandfather' and 'my grandmother'. Luna: Cool. Can I use them in a sentence? Lucas: Absolutely. Let's do a little scene. Imagine you're visiting your grandparents. Luna: Okay, I'll pretend I'm at their house. Lucas: So you could say: నా తాతయ్య ఇంట్లో ఉన్నాడు. That means 'my grandfather is at home.' But let's keep it simple. Just say 'This is my grandfather' — ఇది నా తాతయ్య. Luna: ఇది నా తాతయ్య. Lucas: And 'This is my grandmother' — ఇది నా అమ్మమ్మ. Luna: ఇది నా అమ్మమ్మ. Oh, that's easy! 'Idi' is 'this is', right? Lucas: You remembered! Yes, from our fruit episode. Great job. Luna: So I can say 'ఇది నా తాతయ్య' and 'ఇది నా అమ్మమ్మ'. That's adorable. Lucas: Let's practice a quick dialogue. I'll be a friend asking about your family. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: I'll say: ఇది ఎవరు? — 'Who is this?' Luna: You want me to answer? Lucas: Yeah, answer with one of our phrases. Luna: Okay, let me try. Umm, if it's my grandfather: ఇది నా తాతయ్య. Lucas: Perfect! And if it's your grandmother? Luna: ఇది నా అమ్మమ్మ. Lucas: Nailed it! You're ready to introduce your grandparents in Telugu. Luna: That was fun. Let me repeat them once more: తాతయ్య, అమ్మమ్మ. Lucas: And with 'my': నా తాతయ్య, నా అమ్మమ్మ. Luna: నా తాతయ్య, నా అమ్మమ్మ. I think I've got it. Lucas: You do! Now, let's do a tiny story. Imagine I'm telling you about my weekend. Luna: Go for it. Lucas: నేను నా తాతయ్య మరియు నా అమ్మమ్మ ను కలిశాను. That means 'I met my grandfather and my grandmother.' Luna: Oh, I caught తాతయ్య and అమ్మమ్మ in there! The rest was new. Lucas: That's fine. The key takeaway is those two words. So let's review: what's grandfather? Luna: తాతయ్య. Lucas: And grandmother? Luna: అమ్మమ్మ. Lucas: Beautiful. You're doing great, Luna. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I'm going to practice these with my own grandparents. Lucas: That's wonderful. Before we wrap, let's say them one more time together. Luna: Sure. Lucas: తాతయ్య. Luna: తాతయ్య. Lucas: అమ్మమ్మ. Luna: అమ్మమ్మ. Lucas: నా తాతయ్య. Luna: నా తాతయ్య. Lucas: నా అమ్మమ్మ. Luna: నా అమ్మమ్మ. Lucas: Perfect. That's all for today's episode of Learn Telugu with Fexingo. Luna: Thanks for joining us! Practice these words, and we'll see you next time. Lucas: Until then, keep speaking Telugu. Bye! Luna: Bye!
