I CANT STAND HINDI MOVIES. I HATE THEM WITH ALL MY MIGHT. unfortunately we subscribe to 2 hindi channels so whenever i am home, all my parents and sister watch are those 2 channels and usually it is some terrible movie with no plot and horrendous overacting with humor that really isnt humorous. /end rant.

Omg, its like looking into a mirror, the same with me. but i dont think to myself in hindi (was in india in until the 6/7th grade according to US, dont really know the grade system). i have just grown accustomed to thinking in english, but speaking hindi is just like second nature. i cant do it that well if i am aware of it, often with a crappy accent, but if someone talks to me in it, i generally reply normally, without thinking about it.

I'd like to speak it. I was looking for some hemp speakers. Doh.

I was told a long time ago by someone that in India, speakers were mostly horns and ranged from like 300-6000 hz frequency response because of the music they listened to and how they liked to hear it.

I thought this thread was about speaker systems in India, so i wanted to see if what i heard was true, but i guess thats not the subject.

LOL, i do hope you were joking. im not a big fan of indian music, but speaker there are not just horns. and music varies quite a bit.

I'm a huge Hindi music lover and actually enjoy watching some of the films, except for anything 80's and most of the 90's. Some of the more recent films have been pretty good. I'm also a big Punjabi music lover.

Yes i speak crappy hindi , but i can understand it reasonably well. Forget about reading or writing it looks like scribbling to me

I though the same thing, but I tend to take things literally. (Drives my wife nuts, especially when she knows I know what she meant.) I guess "speakers of the Hindi language" is more precise.
