I / I'm - mama - මම (informal/as in daily conversation) I / I'm - ma - මා (formal/as in books) Waiting - balan innava - බලන් ඉන්නවා (informal/as in daily conversation) Waiting - balaa sitimi - බලා සිටිමි (formal/as in books) you - oya - ඔයා (informal/as in daily conversation) you - oba - ඔබ (formal/as in books) your - oya ge - ඔයා ගේ (informal/as in daily conversation) your - oba ge- ඔබ ගේ (formal/as in books) (Ex: Your book - oya GE potha) Call is easy its just call. (Actually there is a formal sinhala word for calling. But thats only used in books and will be very strange to hear if someone uses it in daily conversation ) Nevertheless in here call is a verb. its something someone does. Do - kerana - කරන thus call - call karana - කෝල් කරන So to round things up informal: mama oya call karana kam balan innava. මම ඔයා කෝල් කරන කම් බලන් ඉන්නවා In here kam (කම්) means till. So to translate the sinhala phrase back to English: I'm waiting till you call. This slight variation come because of the way different cultures express their feelings. Formal as in books: ma oba call karana thuru bala sitimi. මා ඔබ කෝල් කරන තුරු බලා සිටිමි. ^_^
