I am keen on India. Appart from that I am very interested in English and I like etymology.
We could start a thread about India, sure everybody will like it. I'll open it on the part of the forum 'Cultural differences and similarities'. ok?

I haven't heard Pallazo used in English but knowing English, it could be some time of arty/scientific/whatever word that I don't know about.

palazzo means a palace, that much i know, but i wanted to know about the frequency and weather if its correct to use it in english or not.

It would be unusual to use it, and possibly demanding of the audience as it doesn't appear in English dictionaries.

i would only use palazzo (careful with the spelling!) if i were writing fiction which took place in italy. local foreign words often appear this way in english literature.

(in the fashion world, there exist "palazzo pants", which, if i am not mistaken, are women's pants with a fairly high waist and very wide, flowing legs.)

thanks for the reply
so basically you mean it would be advisable to use such words either in poetry and fiction or when we write about that particular country to which a word belongs to ?

sounds good to me... these words are often used to describe native flora/fauna/food/political titles or other things that simply do not exist in english-speaking society. use foreign words sparingly, it can come off as affected.
