Mr.Shashi Tharoor has changed the way of thinking and speaking of a whole generation to be honest. 😊

Both are my favourite men . It is a feast to watch when you both join together like this . Love you both .

"why can't you just say day before yesterday" HAHAHA look whose asking😂

Still he's passionate about learning new words. Exchange was as sweet as Bengali sweets.

Except for valetudinarian, neologism, and serendipity, I flunked every question. Contrary to popular belief, it is usually words like half-pace that give problems, while longer words are easy to remember. Shashi is spot on when he says reading was the only option those days, in the absence of internet and social media. I picked up several words including rodomontade and farrago from "Reader's Digest" which was in circulation those days and also from noted columnists and humorists like Art Buchwald, Jug Suraiya etc. An interesting episode overall.

Hi can you please tell if the quickest process to enhance vocabulary is reading books only??

@srikanths5178

@@tyajn1 It doesn't necessarily have to be books, it could be newspapers, magazines etc. in any format you prefer. Reader's Digest magazine used to have a word quiz section from where I learned several words. Roget's Thesaurus would be of great help too. Of course, reading is the best and the most natural way to improve vocabulary, according to many experts.

Not a dull moment in those 12 mins … thank you 🙏🏻 for this lovely episode

Well i believe the fact that the person knows how to respect Tharoor sir.. my ultimate idol of respect and worship... 😊

What a wonderful video. And truly a treat to listen to two people passionate about a language talk about interesting words and where they came from. Quizzing Dr. Tharoor on social media lingo was a fun idea, but this is so much better! Learnt so much as well. Fantastic content!

I can understand you must be disappointed with the less view but trust me what you put out is pure “Gold” so keep uploading. Wish you a humongous success ❤

Earliest known use of the phrase "Love is blind" is by Chaucer in Canterbury Tales in the late 14th century. Just watched this trivia featured in a Netflix series "The Chair".

As always a wonderful episode, introducing us to some more very interstingly few more new words. Huge appreciation to both the English Nuts and Dr.Shashi Tharoor.

I absolutely love when Sumanto comes up with Dr. Shashi Tharoor. It's always a pleasure watching them both chat, laugh, grin, joke in a conversation. Thanks Sumanto, i wish you come up with more such videos with Dr. Tharoor. Love watching your videos!

Wow! Mr Tharoor came again on your show!!! We want more of these Mr Nut!!

I wonder what his opinion is on people who incorrectly call the letters ABCD alphabets. Those are letters! The word "alphabet" refers to the whole thing abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. That's like calling rooms within a house "houses". I only discovered this year that some people say "alphabets", they mean "letters of the alphabet". If I knew earlier or if people stopped making this mistake, that would have spared me so much confusion when learning Hindi.

@@niteshm6 An alphabet is "set of letters or symbols in a fixed order, used to represent the basic sounds of a language". So in English, there is 1 alphabet with 26 letters in it. Not 26 "alphabets". Japanese has 2 alphabets*, and a set of pictograms called Kanji. D is the fourth letter of the alphabet, not the fourth alphabet. Edit: *Technically they're syllabaries (for those who want to be nit-picky) and not alphabets because each letter represents a syllable rather than a sound

@@niteshm6 Yes for 1 language. Actually, technically they're syllabaries (for those who want to be nit-picky) and not alphabets because each letter represents a syllable rather than a sound. This is why people have a hard time learning Japanese. Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu) also uses two different writing systems, but people generally use 1 or the other, unlike Japanese, which simultaneously uses Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. From Wikipedia: "The modern Japanese writing system uses a combination of logographic kanji, which are adopted Chinese characters, and syllabic kana. Kana itself consists of a pair of syllabaries: hiragana, used primarily for native or naturalised Japanese words and grammatical elements; and katakana, used primarily for foreign words and names, loanwords, onomatopoeia, scientific names, and sometimes for emphasis. Almost all written Japanese sentences contain a mixture of kanji and kana. Because of this mixture of scripts, in addition to a large inventory of kanji characters, the Japanese writing system is considered to be one of the most complicated currently in use."

I wonder how to describe one of my friend with a single word due to her approach of course.. Finally I've found it today. Thanks a ton to Sumanta Da & Tharoor Sir for introducing us with 'Valetudinarian'...😁😁

When i heard the word serendipity, it reminded me of the song 'serendipity' by BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Enjoyed it!

Very interesting. Learnt a few new words

Laudable initiative

Very interesting session 👍

Loved it♥️❤️💜

Super duper!!

Wonderful and enjoyable video. I am no expert of English; studied the language up to 12th grade only. But I happen to know (or so I think) one word used by Mr. Tharoor - cattle-class. I suppose it means the economy class of the airplane travel. That was the sense when I heard it being used by a British friend.

Please discuss with Tharoor ji on the following two phrases: 1. In terms of - I think it’s misused often where about, regarding, as regards etc would do. 2. As to - here too I feel this is is used where it’s not required.

Please continue the episodes

Genius Guy

I want more ❤

Why can't we have your videos more often?

Read, read and read.

If I wanna choose Tharoor or an Oxford dictionary, I'll choose the former.😀 I read his books and have learnt many new English words. One day, I'll meet you, Sir and cwtch you for sure. 😊

Why this tease? Can't you upload the full episode? I have waited for this part and Ruskin Bond's for more than six months I suppose. But really fascinating to see the English Nut taking on the Big Dady of English Nut. One feedback if you want to take it. Well I've said it before as well that please disable mandatory subtitles and make them optional. The subtitles distract.

One recommendation for you, The English Nut to change the thumbnail a bit so that it looks new or maybe add a 🆕 batch on corner. I misunderstood it for the old episode 2 and ignored it for 11 days despite it being shown many times in my KZread recommendations feed.
