1. Translation for Totla (तुतलाना)

If a person (usually a young child) cannot pronounce certain alphabets correctly—for example, pronouncing 'R' as 'L' or 'S' as 'TH' (saying 'Thorry' instead of 'Sorry')—they are said to have a lisp.

  • English Translation: To Lisp / Having a Lisp.
  • Example: The small boy speaks with a slight lisp. (छोटा लड़का थोड़ा तोतला बोलता है)।

2. Translation for Hakalana (हकलाना)

If a person gets stuck on the first letter of a word and repeats it multiple times before finishing the word (e.g., "K-K-K-Kiran"), it is not a lisp.

  • English Translation: To Stammer or To Stutter.
  • Example: He used to stammer when he was nervous. (घबराने पर वह हकलाता था)।

Key Difference

  • Totla (Lisp): Changing the sound of alphabets (S becomes Th).
  • Hakla (Stutter/Stammer): Getting stuck and repeating a sound (P-p-p-please).
