How does one "smile" in Kannada?

Last week, for some reason, I needed (or wanted, or whatever!) to know the word for "smile" in Kannada, but could not think of it. Laugh I knew several words for, but not smile. So out came the Kannada-English dictionary, but obviously that did not help. Went online, and found one I liked - 'kirunage'. I knew I had heard the word before and so fought to get it... I went kirunage ... kirunage yembaa ... and finally <a href="http://boomp3.com/m/200b0f786669">got it</a>. Here is the <a href="http://www.musicindiaonline.com/p/x/3UQjE63GRS.As1NMvHdW/">official version</a>. Today, this song is only as politically correct as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2VLCv0wqOg">its Hindi equivalent</a>.
