"Use pure nepali"
then what do I call for TV, Internet, telephone,computer,Video Game, Pizza,Burger, ipod: how do you say "www.sajah.com" in Nepali? Have you seen a computer keyboard with Nepali fonts ever? etc etc.
The fact : our Nepali language, no matter how much we love it, is NOT evolving with time. It needs revitalization, so far I've not seen any initiative from the government and the educated elites. You can say whatever you want, the new generation will not (WILL NOT) be able to speak "pure Nepali" without English words in every sentence.It's not their fault. We're too busy with other stuff.
