How Kannada looks on the page
- Script
- Kannada script, close to Telugu script, written left to right.
- Numbers
- Kannada digits exist, but 0–9 is used in daily writing.
- Names
- In Kannada text, names often carry a village or family initial before the given name.
Writing to Kannada readers
- Saying "you"
- Kannada has neevu (respectful or plural) and neenu (familiar). Check the tone when you write to an elder, a client or an officer.
- Sentence order
- Hindi and Kannada both put the verb at the end, so most sentences keep their shape; idioms still need rewording.
- Mixed words
- Bengaluru speech mixes in English words, especially at work.
- Who reads it
- Kannada is spoken in Karnataka.

Are names, dates and amounts kept?
The translator keeps names and figures as they are, but machine translation can slip — check dates and amounts against the original before you send.
Which "you" will the Kannada use?
The one that fits the tone of what you paste — a respectful message stays respectful for a Kannada reader.
Can I paste Hindi mixed with English words?
Yes. Mixed text is translated as a whole; everyday English words that Kannada readers also use can stay as they are.
