Did you know?
- In traditional Telugu culture, high praise or 'congratulations' given directly to a child might be avoided to prevent 'disturbing the evil eye' or దిష్టి (dishti).
- The word అభినందనలు is derived from the Sanskrit root 'nand', which relates to joy and pleasure, meaning the phrase literally implies 'sharing in the joy'.
- In informal settings among friends, Telugu speakers often bypass అభినందనలు entirely and simply use the English word 'congratulations' or 'congrats' written in Telugu script.
