ISBN: 81-85102-90-2 Published by the LIDrruy of Tibetan Works and Archives (L1WA), Dharamsala, (HP.) 176215, India, and printed at Indraprastha P11~ss (CB1) 4, Bahadur Shah Zafar Mug, New Delhi-11CXX>2. Publisher's Note A very important element of Tibetan language which has provided life and beauty in the evolution of human thought communication is its rich repository of Idioms and Phrases. It makes for conveying a point or idea just in one single idiom what could not be expressed in so many prosaic sentences. Efficiently effective and melodious, it is very commonly used among the older generation Tibetans. New generation of Tibetans are not very aware of the importance of this aspect of the language. It is feared that if our generation can not preserve this rich aspect of the language, there may be a danger of losing this richly melodious aspect of the language. Therefore I impressed upon its importance to Mr. Tsepak Rigzin and Mr. Sangye T. Naga to bring this work to light. I am thankful for their response and labour of love. It is hoped that this small effort will contribute in some way towards the enrichment and preservation of the Tibetan language. Gyatsho Tshering Director.

One of the first project that was assigned to me by both Mr. Gyatsho Tshering, Director and Mr. Tsepak Rigzin, the then head of the bureau, was this small collection of quadrisyllabics, and idioms. The Library· felt that this type of book was needed for its language students, therefore in 1980 LT WA obtained Mr. Jampa Choedak's initial collection of idioms from Mr.Pema Gyalpo. These idioms and phrases were added to the collection being prepared by Mr.Rigzin, whose· sources were derived from various Tibetan articles, books, most notably from His Holiness the Dalai Lama's public speeches. Having entrusted this project to me, I worked in the sincerity of being able to motivate and aiding individuals, who show a keen interest in the Tibetan Language, be they Tibetans or Westerners. For further information, one interesting article on quadrisyllabic phrases, entitled: "The Phonetic Structure of ABCD Type Words in Modern Lhasa"1 and one chapter on "Phrases" in The Classicnl Tibetan Languagi' are suggested. In addition, the following Tibetan language books are also recommended: Modern Tibetan Language Vol.I & JI3, A Basic Grammar of Modern Spoken Tibetan4, Essentials of Modern Literary Tibetan5, Modern Spoken Tibetan: Uzasa Dialect6, Textbook of Colloquial Tibetan7 and New Plan Tibetan Grammar and Translation8• This book is aimed to act as a bridge between the so called literary and colloquial language. Therefore, it is sincerely hoped that this book may be prove to be a source of guidance. Lastly I wish to thank Mr. Tenzin Dorjee, the senior most translator at LT WA, for his assistance in editing this book. May this book help the reader to skillfully master the Tibetan language, whereby one can read both the classical as well as the modern Tibetan literatures! Acharya Sangye T.
