The repeating of parts of words to make new
forms is called “Reduplication”. There are various categories of this –
rhyming, exact and ablaut/vowel substitution. And of course we are all aware of
plenty of such ‘Reduplication Idioms’ in English; like, Helter-skelter,
Hocus-pocus, Pell-mell, Blah-blah, Goody-goody, Bye-bye, Dilly-dally,
Chit-chat, Tip-top, etc. Similarly there are plenty of such Twin Words in
‘Telugu language of Telangana’. Today I came across a Telugu Magazine which
presented an article on the local Telangana-Telugu dialect and several
interesting Twin Words. I thought I should let Telugu speaking readers of my
blog see and enjoy these interesting and very expressive rhyming Twin Words.
You may see the four Telugu posters below to
remember/understand and appreciate the popular Telangana phrases and the last
two posters will remind you of some commonly used English Twin words.
