English words in Telugu sentences usually take Telugu rhythm. మీటింగ్ ends with a clear -ంగ్ sound, and ఫైల్ should not be stretched too much. Telugu verbs like చేస్తాను, ఇవ్వండి, and పంపించాను must remain clear. In code-mixing, the English word may be familiar, but the Telugu grammar carries the meaning.

Pronouncing English words with a heavy foreign accent inside Telugu. Dropping Telugu verb endings like -తాను or -ండి. Saying రిప్లై unclearly as “reply” without Telugu rhythm. Confusing బుక్ చేశాను with బుక్ చేస్తాను. Forgetting nasal sounds in మీటింగ్.

If the English word is common in daily life, code-mixing sounds natural. If a Telugu word is simple and common, use Telugu to sound warmer.

Use the pattern: English noun + Telugu verb. Example: call + చేస్తాను, file + పంపించాను, confirm + చేయండి.
