Rose it's ok if you don't get the names... you just fill in the proverbs.. 🤗The reason why I put it even though Chellam/you don't know Urdu/Hindi was because, by now, I'd guessed most would know the meaning of common characters like Heera, Akbar, Bahadur etc😳

I'll wait till Rose attempts. No body ekse wants to even try. 😭
Not even their own names.😭

Sandy... yours is way tougher😡😕...

The one I posted was straightforward 😕(Heera = diamond, Akbar = great etc) except for two of them, maybe... which is why😕, I'm guessing all who attempted it, got it correct (except 1 question)

Here I go... trying to add to Lavanya's again...🤓

1. A thing of b----- is a joy forever. BEAUTY (LAVANYA)

2. Put the least trust in him who is foremost to p----- you. PRAISE

3. The l--- between comedy and tragedy is very thin. LINE (REKHA)

4. C------ begins at home CHARITY (SELVI😕)

5. E-------- is doing better what has been already well done. EFFICIENCY (MANASI/SHRADDHA😕)

6. A r--- by any other name smells as sweet ROSE (ROSE)

7. A h------- person with perverted will os like a fine craft handled without skill. HANDSOME (LAVANYA)

8. Knowledge will give you skills but character will give you r------. RESPECT

9. To err is human. To f------ is divine. FORGIVE (DAYA/KRIPA)

10. No situation is so dark that there is not a r-- -- -----. RAY OF LIGHT (RASHMI)

Shraddha doesn't suit any of the above (I truly hope you didn't use Lashy)

Nor does Saraswathi, Aparna or Sandhya.

Bindu clearly means dot, point, or point of creation

Mitali means friendship

Selvi is prosperity

Shyamala is dusky/dark

Vathsy means Enthusiasm and agility

I couldn't find the meaning Kawsi/Kalgi corresponding to this either

Ufff! Other than Rekha, Rashmi and Lavanya... nothing is making sense😡

Wow Rose and Rekha 👏

Rekha you got it all correct except the 'monkey' one -all others got that one wrong too-

I thought it would be most obvious though... and Rose got that one right!😆

Rose a couple of names you picked were not what I had in mind.. but they still carry the same/correct meaning... and the fact that you don't know the language, means it'd be highly unfair for me to take points away for those!

👏 just for effort!
