#National Grammar Day India

[corvid-language-library]

Norwegian Bokmål for Total Beginners (January 2024 Crash Course)

25. Nordic Countries

Welcome to day 25! We're doing pretty well here, huh? :D Today we're learning the names for the nordic countries!

land (n) - country

Norden - the north (specifically the nordics)

Norge - Norway

Danmark - Denmark

Sverige - Sweden

Finland - Finland

Island - Iceland

Færøyene - The Faroe Islands

Bonus

språk (n) - language

nasjonalitet (m) - nationality

Grammar: Language & Nationality

Unlike English where we can change the word of the country in any number of ways to get the language/nationality (France -> French, Germany -> German, Norway -> Norwegian, Sweden -> Swedish, China -> Chinese etc), it's pretty easy in Norwegian: it'll always end in -sk:

Norge -> norsk (Norwegian)

Sverige -> svensk (Swedish)

Danmark -> dansk (Danish)

Finland -> finsk (Finnish)

Island -> islandsk (Icelandic)

Færøyene -> færøysk (Faroese)

This pertains to both the language and the nationality:

Han er norsk. Han snakker norsk. (He's Norwegian. He speaks Norwegian)

Vi er finske. Vi snakker finsk og svensk. (We're Finnish. We speak Finnish and Swedish)

Den islandske mannen snakker islandsk og dansk. (The Icelandic man speaks Icelandic and Danish)

Er dere færøysk? Snakker dere færøysk? (Are you Faroese? Do you speak Faroese?)

Note: all countries are capitalised just like in English, but languages and nationalities aren't.

Your turn!

Here's a list of countries in alphabetical order. Find your country and tell me what languages you speak! If your country or language isn't there, you're welcome to look it up, reblog and add it (there's like 200 countries and over 7000 languages in the world so I'm not gonna list them all, sorry. I chose the countries I did because I have or have had followers of those nationalities)

I'll go first!

Jeg kommer fra Storbritannia. Jeg er britisk. Jeg bor i Japan. Jeg snakker engelsk og norsk, og jeg lærer meg japansk. (I come from the UK. I am British. I live in Japan. I speak English and Norwegian, and I'm learning Japanese)

15-week learning review

Reading and Writing (15 out of 15 weeks)

Since I reached out to Hindi speakers in search of penpals in a couple of places (namely Conversation Exchange and Slowly app) I've found some interesting people who are patient enough to correspond with me using Devanagari and bookish language. It's been quite fun and I've been able to reply to emails quite regularly. Both my reading and writing skills have improved and I've learned many useful phrases for discussing opinions etc.

Listening (8 out of 15 weeks)

I found an interesting podcast for Hindi learners, All About India Insider Tales, where they make short about 15-minute episodes about Indian history in both English and Hindi. They have a Patreon through which a listener can download the full script of each episode in both Hindi and English for a small monthly fee. This is not an ad, I was just so happy to find this resource that I need to share it. I've also listened to some episodes of विश्व चर्चित हत्याएँ and Indian Crime Story but so far I haven't found the perfect true crime podcast in Hindi or Hinglish - recommendations welcome!

Watching (7 out of 15 weeks)

Another, and completely free resource I want to share is STARTALK Hindi Audio-Visual project which is a collection of 42 videos with complete downloadable .pdf scripts in Hindi. These videos are based on real-life situations and show naturally spoken Hindi, sometimes mixed with English and local languages. I've also watched three Hindi films, finished Mismatched and started to watch Taj Mahal 1989 on Netflix.

Grammar (6 out of 15 weeks)

Because of regular correspondence, I have had less time for grammar books. One of my pen pals shared a great resource, however, for both reading and grammar: a vast collection of online textbooks by the Indian NCERT - National Council of Education Research and Training. There are Hindi and Urdu textbooks starting from grade 1 upwards and there are also adult education materials downloadable as pdf. Speaking (2 out of 15 weeks)

I've spoken to myself in Hindi almost every day, but only on two occasions, I have spoken with a native Hindi speaker. I'm still seriously considering finding a new Hindi tutor on iTalki. I just got a new job and getting adjusted to it makes me super tired on the weeknights at the moment, so this plan is on pause.

Grammar of Anarchy in Modern India

“...it is quite possible in a country like India – where democracy from its long disuse must be regarded as something quite new – there is danger of democracy giving place to dictatorship. It is quite possible for this newborn democracy to retain its form but give place to dictatorship in fact.” These lines are excerpted from Dr Ambedkar’s famous speech “The Grammar of Anarchy”, delivered on November 25th 1949, the eve of the adoption of the Indian Constitution. In this address, Babasaheb defined the difference between a real democracy and a facile one and laid down certain principles that he expected the future generations to adhere to, if they wished for the Indian constitutional democracy to coincide in form and in fact.

It was indeed amid much pomp and publicity that in 2015, the 125th birth anniversary of Dr Ambedkar, the current government decided to attest the tag of National Constitution Day to November 26th. It was just one of the many ways in which governments, over the years, have tried to appropriate the idea of Ambedkar for their vested interests without giving any thought to his ideals. Seen in this context, it becomes important to analyse whether today’s democratic India has lived up to the expectations of the architect of its constitution.

The first principle that Ambedkar mentioned in his speech was that in a real democracy, progress should be brought about only through constitutional methods. He sought an end to methods of Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience which, unless restricted, could paralyze development and saw protests as a symbol of facile democracies. Today’s India is far from realising that goal. We are a country that protests at the drop of a hat. However, more often than not, these protests, far from stifling development, have been used to coerce those in power to take the right step. Be it the 2011 anti-corruption dharnas pushing for passage of appropriate legislations or the CAA-NRC protests or the more recent anti-farm law sit-ins appealing for retraction of unpopular legislations, agitations against the ruling dispensations have been the guiding light of our democracy, seeking adherence to the constitution. So does this mean Ambedkar was wrong in his assessment of protests? No. In his speech, Babasaheb, while advocating for an end to unconstitutional protests, specifically spelled out that when there is no possibility of achieving change through constitutional means, resorting to unconstitutional methods was the only way forward. When constitutionally elected governments show apathy towards the needs or worse, go against the wishes of the very people who put them in power and constitutionally established courts and politically established opposition also leave people in the lurch, the only recourse left for the people is to mobilise and swerve those in power in the right direction. Thus, the very fact that today mass mobilisations and protests are needed to exhort governments to do what they’re elected to do, points towards the disuse and misuse of constitutional machinery.

His second prescription of eschewing the deification of leaders, is perhaps also the most pertinent advice in contemporary times. Today we have downgraded ourselves into a nation of hero-worshipping fanatics, divinizing our political leaders to the point where we fail to accept that they can ever err and ignore them when they actually do so. Living in times when being anti-Modi is routinely equated to being anti-India, Babasaheb’s warning that in politics Bhakti is a sure road to eventual dictatorship rings truer than ever.

Finally, Ambedkar in his speech, recommends us to evolve into a social democracy i.e., we mustn’t be content with the mere political sanction of liberty, equality and fraternity, but should strive to make these ideals, a way of life. Acknowledging the chasm between ‘constitutional guarantees’ and ‘social realities’, Babasaheb had famously remarked that India would, on January 26th 1950, enter into a life of contradictions where political equality would stand in contrast with socioeconomic inequalities. In calling for a social democracy, it was this gap that he sought to bridge. However, it is the sad reality of our times that, even in this aspect we have failed him. 70 more 26th Januarys have passed since that observation was made and still, we find ourselves stuck in the same quagmire. Obdurate lines of caste, class and religious inequalities have been redrawn by politically motivated leaders who find benefit in refusing to let these lines fade; Sectarian affiliations continue to override national unity, crumpling up the ideal of fraternity. And liberty, attacked by both state and non-state actors, has become a mere chimaera.

Thus, our country’s current socio-political standing is far from what the creator of our constitution had hoped it would be. It’s indeed impossible for a country as vast and diverse as ours to embody an ideal democracy, but that shouldn’t mean that we retrograde into becoming a facile democracy. Superficially celebrating the Constitution Day or Mahaparinirvan Diwas will only amount to lip service unless we reinstate adherence to these principles which add life into the soul of India’s democracy, principles prescribed by the father of the constitution himself and principles which will otherwise end up being mere quixotic embellishments for a bleak reality.

Getting the Most Out of the Coal India  Limited CIL Exam: 10 Crucial Success Strategies

One of the most popular competitive tests for engineering graduates is the Coal India Limited (CIL) exam, particularly for those in the mechanical, civil, electrical, and mining fields. The exam gives candidates the possibility to work for one of the biggest coal-producing firms in the world, which is a rich career opportunity. Nevertheless, diligent study and smart planning are necessary to ace the CIL test. Here is a thorough study guide with 10 key elements to help you ace the test.

Recognizing the CIL Exam Usually, the CIL hiring procedure consists of a written exam and an interview. Both technical and general knowledge are evaluated in the test. The following are the main sections: 1. Technical Section: This is the main portion of the examination where you are tested on the material relevant to your particular engineering profession. 2. General Awareness: Consists of information on business, economics, current events, and general knowledge. 3. Reasoning and Mental Capacity: Evaluates the ability to reason logically, solve problems, and analyze facts.

4. English: Evaluates language skills, including grammar and comprehension.

Top 10 Strategies for acing the CIL Exam: 

1. Thoroughly understand the syllabus Comprehending the test syllabus in its entirety is the first step towards success. The comprehensive syllabus for every engineering subject is released by CIL. Sort themes into priority lists according to weight, giving high-scoring regions greater attention. This will enable you to prepare more efficiently.

2. Establish a Study Schedule Create a study schedule when you get a copy of the syllabus that allows enough time for every topic, including review. Divide up your planning into weekly or monthly objectives. Make sure your study schedule is both comprehensive and adaptable enough to address any last-minute changes.

3. Emphasize Fundamental Technical Subjects Focus on being an expert in your primary engineering disciplines because the technical portion will carry the most weight. Consult standard textbooks and study guides that provide a thorough coverage of the subjects. To comprehend the kinds of questions asked in the technical portion, review the previous year's exam papers.

4. Complete the Question Papers from Last Year Completing last year's exam question papers is essential to comprehending the format and degree of difficulty of the test. It also aids in recognizing recurrent subjects and categories of queries. When completing these papers, time yourself to replicate test circumstances and enhance your accuracy and speed.

5. Edit Frequently The secret to remembering what you've learnt is revision. Plan a certain period of time in your study schedule for revision. To swiftly review key ideas, make use of mind maps, flashcards, or summary notes. Make sure you routinely edit technical formulas and significant current events.

6. Boost Your All-Around Awareness If done correctly, the General Awareness component may really affect the game. To keep up with current events, particularly those related to business, the economy, and national affairs, read newspapers every day. Test your general knowledge with online resources, quizzes, and monthly current events periodicals.

7. Exercise your mental faculties and reasoning It need constant practice to solve problems and use logic. Set aside time each day to go on syllogisms, reasoning challenges, and data interpretation issues. Familiarize yourself with different types of reasoning questions, as they are commonly featured in the exam.

8. Develop Your English Language Proficiency The English portion evaluates your vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills. Practice reading comprehension activities on a regular basis. You may also work on your grammar by completing practice exams. Moreover, reading journals and editorials will improve your vocabulary and understanding.

9. Attend practice exams One of the finest methods to be ready for the CIL exam is to take mock exams. They support self-assurance-building and the identification of areas in need of development. Regularly take full-length practice exams to get comfortable with time management and exam settings. Examine your results after each to identify your areas of strength and weakness.

10. Remain well and self-assured Finally, it's critical to have a healthy lifestyle when preparing for exams. Take regular pauses, eat healthily, and get enough sleep to keep yourself energized. Your performance is greatly influenced by your level of confidence, so maintain an optimistic outlook. To maintain composure and concentration throughout the planning stage, engage in relaxation or meditation exercises.

In summary A well-rounded strategy that incorporates confidence, consistent practice, and in-depth preparation is necessary to pass the CIL test. To assure success, concentrate on your technical topics, keep up with current events, and hone your language and thinking abilities. At Coal India Limited, you can guarantee a fulfilling career with hard work and a well-thought-out plan.
