A language is to begin to use it. Even if I don’t know the words to
form a complete sentence, Sanglish is fine. I tweetaami and wait for
the time when I will be able to use proper Sanskrit. There are several
mantras we are familiar with in everyday life. Usually, though not
always, they are simple to understand. Problems arise because Sanskrit
has this tendency of a word flowing over into the next, through rules of
grammar. Once one knows how to break them up into individual words, it
becomes simpler to understand. After having broken up, I have always
found it easier to pinpoint the verb first. Everything else follows
then.
