Did you know?
- In many Indian languages including Kannada, the concept of 'coming' is often used where English speakers would use 'going' to describe movement towards the speaker.
- Because Kannada is an agglutinative language, the root baru can be combined with many other suffixes to change 'coming' into 'having come' or 'about to come' within a single word.
- While ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ literally means 'coming', it is frequently used in news headlines to announce the 'arrival' of a new season, a storm or a political change.
