Looking for a telugu word for

[kri...@utdallas.edu]

"Host". I am not talking about the host who hosts a function, like a
compere. I know the telugu counterpart for that as "Prayokta". I am in fact
looking for the host who invites guests on an ocassion ( athidi and
abhyagati ) and thereby becomes the host.

Regards,

In this context (of athidhi and abhyagati) it would be grihastu
(householder). And strictly speaking, neither athidhi nor abhyagati are
"invited". By definition they are uninvited.

I think we have a difference of opinion here. To the best of my knowledge
athidi is one who visits someone without any prior intimation ( athidhi -
tidhi leni vadu) and abhyagathi is quite the opposite. And grihastu!!
Ummmmmm.. Errrrr........

Lookslike partying is a new thing ;-) to fihgt loneliness when you are
far removed from homeland and trying to fit-in in this part of the
world now ;-) ;-) So we need words for both guest and host!

I am not so sure if grihastu can be used even loosely to mean host, even
though it does Xlate to what you are saying(householder). At least other
connotations of that word may not make it easy to suggest 'host'!

'athidhi' means outsider? who needs to be treated well(satkArAlu and
maryAdalu).
