Twist (Full Song Video) | Love Aaj Kal | Saif Ali Khan & Deepika Padukone

यद्यपि - तथापि (yadyapi -tathApi)





Yes Fellow Malaysians!  You saw the word तथापि (tathApi)!


We are familiar with this word as Malay Language uses this same word but written as "tetapi"


Well, the meaning is similar too but with a slight twist.


यद्यपि - तथापि (yadyapi -tathApi) is used in a combination and it means यद्यपि - तथापि (yadyapi -tathApi) (Even though-Yet)


यद्यपि (yadyapi)(Even though)- तथापि (tathApi)(Yet)


Let's take an example:


One in Malay and the other in Sanskrit!


Yes, I am Malaysian, so I would write this post for my fellow countrymen.


Walaupun dia bijak tetapi dia gagal dalam peperiksaan.


Even though he is intelligent yet he failed the examination.


Ok, Let's translate this into Sanskrit.


Walaupun is यद्यपि (yadyapi)(Even though) and Tetapi is तथापि (tathApi)(Yet)


यद्यपि सः बुद्धिमान् तथापि परीक्षायाम् अनुत्तीर्णः|


yadyapi saH buddhimAn tathApi parIkSAyAm anuttIrNaH




That's all.

As I said the usage is very similar as in Malay too but in Malay "Tetapi" is sometimes used alone without "Walaupun" but in Sanskrit यद्यपि - तथापि (yadyapi -tathApi) is always used together.


That's why I said the meaning is the similar but with a twist!
