Hospitality Scripts: Offering, Insisting and Refusing Food | Spoken Malayalam #160
Beschreibung
In a Kerala home, food is offered, refused, offered again and finally accepted or politely declined. It is a friendly dance with set lines. English speakers say a flat വേണ്ട (venda) = don't want, which sounds like "no, I don't want your food".
In this episode:
• The host offers
• The host insists
• Refusing gracefully
• Praising the food
• Leaving the table and the house
