Dear Sanna, We have never met; I am a few years older than you; your cousin Manori Sannasgala is a friend and a batchmate of mine. I discovered your youtube channels during the COVID lockdown and am addicted. I spend several hours each day watching the new content and catching up with the content I have missed. May I humbly suggest you reduce the English term "nostalgia" in your presentations? The word literally means pain in the nose, we have the term "burning nose" (nahe danava) as the Sinhala equivalent. I find it distracts from your views when you mispronounce an English word; I am sure that you are doing this deliberately; you happen to be an intellectual of our country who is respected and followed by many. I am certain you know many more terms to express the same idea. If you think using words makes you acceptable to a certain group of people, I have to tell you that it also annoys an equally good number of your followers. I am hoping to visit Taprobane the next time I am in Sri Lanka; please keep adding content.

@@psharmpsigera2858 You must be a real intellectual. Thank you for explaining the word. Did you learn that in Cambridge? But then why did you quote the dictionary from the other university(OALD)? Are you being really modest not revealing that you have been to both? In my ignorance, I thought (nos/t) is a prefix meaning the nose and the suffix (algia) meant pain. In my old age, I often get confused between Greek, Latin and other modern European languages. You must be correct, and thank you again.
