Coco's Nepal

Take a look at our "Coco's Nepal" shop on Threadless.com, where you can get all sorts of merchandise - from T-shirts to tote bags - featuring Coco and other Nepal-related illustrations created by...well...me. It's cool, I promise! Every purchase goes towards helping Coco's Nepal make more videos, articles and food for Coco the dachshund! She is always hungry. Always. https://coconepal.threadless.com/

There are SO many Nepali songs out there - for such a small country, there are many singers, songwriters, and "Kollywood" musicals putting out their music nearly every week, it seems. Fortunately for Nepali entertainment fans, pretty much 100% of movies and songs are released by their creators/companies on YouTube where they can be enjoyed for free. Here is a list of some of my favorite/most famous Nepali songs. (This is not an exhaustive list, there is plenty more great Nepali music to be found and I might have to make a Part 2, 3, 4....) Keep reading to find out (and listen to) my favorites.

Here's our first video featuring Coco, our mascot puppy. We took a weekend trip to Palung Bazaar and Daman, where we could play in the rivers (much cleaner than Kathmandu's), meet some doggos and see a beautiful view of the Himalayas. Coco drew a lot of attention since dachshunds are pretty rare in Nepal, especially in the country! She was ecstatic to make new friends, but she kept her cool in front of the camera. She's a natural star, what can I say.

In part 1, we covered three basic verb tenses: Simple present, past, and future. But there are plenty more verb conjugations in the Nepali language. Let's look at some more now. गर्ने थियो garne thiyo "would have done" The conjugation for this verb tense is fairly simple. You can take the simple form of the future tense (e.g. I will do "garnechu" - simplified = "garne") and add a form of the past tense of hunu , specifically the "thiyo" form.
