ಸತ್ತು ಹೋಗ್ತ್ಹಿಯಾ?

when nidhi was around 2 years & was adding new words to her vocabulary rapidly, I realized she had heard about "sattu hogu" (die) and somehow seemed to know what that means.

One day I was back home from office early and down with my migraine headache. As always I popped in a pill, slept in the room with lights off. Nidhi came inside the room, patted on my chest & asked
"ಏನು ಆಯಿತು ಅಪ್ಪ?" *
I said "ತಲೆ ನೋವು ಚಿನ್ನಿ" *
she enquired "ಸತ್ತು ಹೋಗ್ತ್ಹಿಯಾ?"*

* - yenu aithu appa
- thale novu chinni
- sattu hogtheeyaa?
