Question: At the hospital, Pi says "I thought he was going to hit me again but Mother started pounding on him with her fists, screaming, "Monster, monster!" She yelled at me to go to the raft." Then, he says some words, like "Ni bbola!" It's probably Hindi. What does this mean?
Answer: His mother speaks Tamil, and I think she said "Nee poda", which I think means get lost, go away, or something like that.
