The various dialects in Telangana are very much fun to hear. And ever so often, we come across some words which sound funny, because they are repeated; this is something called 'Reduplication'. Wiki tells me that there are various categories of Reduplication – rhyming, exact and vowel substitution. And of course we are all aware of plenty of such ‘Reduplicated Idioms’ in English like - Helter-skelter, Hocus-pocus, Blah-blah, Goody-goody, Bye-bye, Dilly-dally, Chit-chat, Tip-top, etc.
Similarly we have collected 16 such Twin Words used in Telangana, which caught our eye, with their meanings. Have fun!
