ammi translation

V.Vo of Sepia mutiny kindly brings you translation for that viral shit sri lankan mothers say video:

I will helpfully subtitle this for you.

Amma: Eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat EAT

Translation: I love you

Amma: [In this scenario] you will die; [in that scenario] you will die

Translation: If anything ever happened to you I don’t know what I’d do

Amma: If you wind up in hospital I’m not coming!

Translation: I would be there in a hot minute

[BROWN. WE ARE ALL THINGS. WE ARE MANY THINGS.]

i am a desi diaspora chick interested in people and their browness in various forms (especially those that might deviate in different ways from the slick bollywood images that i/we regularly consume)

browness is a fluid term used by many in many different ways. i generally use it as we did growing up; desi peeps
