- Sociedade e cultura
Growing up bilingual, Dhaya moved through the world in both English and Tamil. Interestingly enough there’s no word for "excuse me" in Tamil, but there is a phrase that just means “stand aside!” Her relatives in India could never understand why she was always apologizing and saying "excuse me." Is that an American thing? Or is it an American woman thing?
