Love in a New Language

It's amusing to find that Kannadigas are increasingly finding it difficult to express love and related matters in their tongue. For example, in small towns and cities alike, I see people using Love and Lover extensively and far more comfortably than Prema and Premi(when was the last time I heard these words from someone other than in movies?). But platonic love, Preethi, is not a problem. And in Cities, we hardly use GanDa and HenDati these days and I think Husband and Wife will be replacing them soon elsewhere also. But why?

One of our guys left for Japan yesterday to support an important upgrade. Needless to say, all of us are very excited. We have had partners coming down for a few weeks to do some hands-on and they were wonderful but the real test for us starts only next week.
