Telugu

To the non-Telugu speaker, especially from Karnataka, Telugu is a fascinating language for two (admittedly insultingly superficial) reasons.
1) The word "come" in Telugu (randi), is very close to a vile word in Kannada. (And indeed one that suggests "come", but in a wildly different way.)
2) What sounds like "I'll rape you" actually translates to "I'll do it tomorrow".

"If you don't come today, randi repu."

Randi is certainly the most apt word to say "welcome or aaiye". It's important to realize that this word in telugu ends in a short "e" at the end and not a deergha "ee" as in that word in Hindi that makes you uncomfortable.
