3 A MESSAGE FROM YOURS TRULY Hi, Thanks for signing up at my blog (or perhaps a friend of yours ignored the legal stuff on the previous page and ed you this ebook bad bad friend). In any case, I m glad to have reached you. CONFESSION: About the number of phrases in this book, well, there are actually more than a 100 (closer to 150, I think). I just had no reason to not include those additional phrases. In any case, this is not a comprehensive collection of Sinhala phrases. That for me would be impossible. But even if it were possible, do you really have time for that? And even if you did, do you really need all that knowledge? I, for one, would answer a loud no and no for both and I m hoping it s the same for you. So voila! Here s your free copy of some thoughtfully selected Sinhala phrases that I think is good enough for you to start with. I m a HUGE fan of simplifying things and not overloading the brain with information that is more than necessary. So, assuming that you re also someone who likes that lazy but smart approach, I hope you ll find this simplified Sinhala phrase collection helpful (and if not, just chuck it away and stop grumbling. You got it for free..) I look forward to keeping in touch with you through and the comments section of my blog and assisting you in learning good enough Sinhala with the minimum needed effort. Enjoy and I ll see you again at the end of this book. Dilshan By the way, in case you got this copy without signing up.. Tell you what Once you re done with the book, if you think it helped you more than you expected, then please go to my blog and sign up to receive more freebies. I d love to have you onboard. But if it didn t really do much for you, then I m sorry it didn t work out, and we ll just forget about the whole thing Deal? Oh, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at: dilshan@lazybutsmartsinhala.com. I d be happy to help you out (provided I m in a good mood, of course). II

4 NOW, ABOUT THESE PHRASES TYPE OF SINHALA USED The Sinhala used in this ebook is Spoken Sinhala only (typical day-today conversation type Sinhala). NOTES Wherever needed, I have included additional notes ( using this color) SYNONYMS I have introduced synonyms (using this color) only for words that are often used interchangeably. TYPE OF PHRASES Generally I ve chosen phrases for someone visiting Sri Lanka. But most of these can be also used when speaking to any Sinhala speaker (e.g. your wife, husband, father-in-law, etc.) LITERAL TRANSLATIONS Whenever the meaning of the Sinhala phrase diverts significantly from the English phrase, I will also give you the literal translation ( using this color). SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, and SIMPLIFY! Out of the many different ways of saying a phrase, I have chosen the one I think is a) the most simple to repeat; b) often used and easily understood BORROWED ENGLISH WORDS Often, for some words in spoken Sinhala, a derivative of the English word is used instead of the authentic Sinhala word for it. In such cases, I ve used the English borrowed word. (e.g., In this book ticket is { ticket -ékȧ} and not the real Sinhala word). INFORMAL vs. FORMAL YOU In this book, I have used the Sinhala equivalent of the informal you. This can be used even with a stranger in a day-to-day setting. However, I ll also give you the formal you so that it can be used when appropriate. POLITE WORDS I have not mentioned Please and Thank you in most phrases (to avoid repetition), but use them whenever you want. I will show you where to place them in a sentence. III
