Neeyane

Neeyane is a word originating from the Tulu language, primarily spoken in the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka, India, and the Kasaragod district of Kerala, India. It translates to "You yourself" or "You personally" in English. The term is often used for emphasis, highlighting the direct involvement or responsibility of the person being addressed. It implies that the individual, and no one else, is the key figure in the situation or action being discussed.

The word "Neeyane" can also be used to express surprise or disbelief at someone's actions, implying that the speaker did not expect the person addressed to act in the way they did. The tone can vary depending on the context, ranging from a neutral statement of fact to an expression of concern, disapproval, or even admiration. The meaning is highly dependent on the surrounding sentence structure and the speaker's intention.
