- Description
-
"Guru" is a loanword from Sanskrit/Hindi that, in this specific colloquial context, functions as an informal address similar to "man," "dude," or "bro." While its traditional meaning refers to a teacher or expert, in South Indian English slang (particularly among Kannada speakers), it is used as a casual filler or a way to grab someone's attention. It adds a layer of local cultural identity to the English sentence, signaling a friendly or conversational tone. It is often used to express surprise or to emphasize a point to a peer.
- Example
-
> En guru idu quality yappa, Rocky Bhai's vision is just on another level.
> Hey guru, did you see the new trailer that just dropped today?
> That last shot was insane, guru, I've already watched it ten times.
