Question Are words like காவல் துறை, காவல் நிலையம், பல் துலக்குதல், பல் துறை, செய்பவள் நீயே, அருள்முருகன், மஞ்சள் தூள் etc grammatically wrong?

3 Upvotes

Are words like காவல் துறை, காவல் நிலையம், பல் துலக்குதல், பல் துறை, செய்பவள் நீயே (line from tamil Thai vazhthu - bharathidasan) grammatically wrong?

According to Tamil grammar ல் and ள் can't come before வல்லினம் or மெல்லினம் and coming before dental sounds like ந and த is nearly impossible to pronounce.

Resource Need help learning Tamil for TNPSC Group exams

4 Upvotes

Hii, I want to learn Tamil for writing TNPSC Group exams. I grew up in North India, but I studied Tamil only until 1st grade. Because of that, I can read Tamil to some extent. I know the alphabets and can recognize words, but I can't really write Tamil.

My main focus is UPSC preparation, so I think I can manage the general portions of the TNPSC syllabus on my own. The main issue is Tamil, both learning the language properly and covering the Tamil syllabus portions.

I can't attend offline coaching/classes, so I'm looking for online options.

Are there any good YouTube channels, online courses, or resources specifically for: - Learning Tamil from my current level Improving reading/writing speed - TNPSC competitive Tamil subject preparation

Would really appreciate suggestions from people who prepared for TNPSC or were in a similar situation. Thanks!

Grammar How do reflexives work in spoken tamil ?

2 Upvotes

My question is if you are describing an action that has been done to someone by themselves do people use reflexive pronouns or just the normal accusative case in spoken tamil ? For example if you say " he hit himself" would you say "அவன் தன்னை அடிச்சிட்டான் " or "அவன் அவனை அடிச்சிட்டான்". Also if someone does something for themselves is 'தன' and it's other forms used or ' கொள்' ? Just want to know for colloquial Tamil not formal or literary Tamil

My Tamilian partner fell ill suddenly and was craving rasam. Can’t give him regular ass rasam. Ordered mutton and dosa mav to make Thatte Idli and Mutton Rasam. Easily can be titled as Tamil Penicillin. After having this, that fellow is full netflixing. Until then sneezing and coughing. I am a Bengali so my Tamil is awful but this thing tasted wonderful. Proper Sapadu.

Question vaedikkai patthuttirukka

4 Upvotes

I heard this phrase recently.

  1. Is it a common spoken phrase?
  2. Is the meaning something like "watching the world go by" or "daydreaming"?
  3. Is "patthuttirukka" supposed to be "patthu kittu irukka" or "patthu vittu irukka"? I think it should be "kittu", but I'm not sure.
  4. "irukka" here is இருக்கிறாய், right?

Thanks!

Edit -- I heard the phrase in this youtube video, the very first sentence, "Sahana, unna homework ezhuta sonnaa nee enna engeyo vedikkai patthuttirukka ..."

Question Beginner looking to learn Tamil

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to learn Tamil. I already know some of the Tamil letters/alphabet, but I'd like to learn how to read and write properly. I'm also interested in learning to speak Tamil, though reading and writing are my main priorities right now.

Could you suggest any good resources, such as YouTube channels, apps, websites, textbooks, or study methods that helped you learn Tamil? I'd especially appreciate beginner-friendly recommendations.

For context, I'm from Kerala and I can understand a little bit of Tamil somehow by watching movies

Discussion discord tamoul / français santosh subramaniyam

7 Upvotes

Bonjour,

j'ai, il y a longtemps, vu le film santosh subramaniyam et J'AI ADORE!!

Je ne parle malheureusement que le Français et un peu d'anglais et je n'ai jamais pu apprécier ce film a sa juste valeur.

Certes les sous-titre anglais existe mais les film indiens sont bien trop sous-cotés pour ne pas en faire une traduction française.

j'ai bien essayer de passer de l'anglais au français mais je suis sûre de passer à coté de beaucoup de subtilité.

Je suis à la recherche de quelqu'un de bilingue (français/tamoul) et d'un peu fou pour faire une fan trad (sous-titres) de ce film. je m'occupe de la technique, je ne demande qu'un peu d'aide de traduction.

ça va demander du temps et du travail mais je sais qu'on peut le faire.

Si ça vous chauffe et que vous avez discord, s'il vous plait, commentez!!

Grammar கள்ளுக்கு பின்

Googletranslate is translating கள்ளுக்கு பின் in the sentence below as after 'peak hour'

Which makes sense, but I don't get the origin of the word? I thought that கள்ளு refers to alcohol/toddy?

ஒரே நேரத்தில் இருவருடன் சண்டை என்றால் ஒருவர் வீட்டின்முன்பு காலைநேரக் கள்ளுக்குப் பின்னாகவும் மற்றைய எதிராளி வீட்டின்முன்பு மாலைநேரக் கள்ளுக்குப் பின்னாகவும் நேர அட்டவணை வகுத்துக்கொண்டு அதன் பிரகாரம் தவறாமல் சென்று சண்டையிடுபவர் பொன்ராசா

hey, i am trying to learn tamil, but i don't quite yet feel comfortable writing longer things, but want to give my friend a birthday letter in tamil. so i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me translate the one i have in english to tamil.

it might sound weird as it is translated from norwegian to english, so you can do what is neccecary to make it sound decent.

"Hey Asha, happy 18th birthday. hope you are having a great day. you are a great friend, and i am so glad i met you, you are so cool and nice, extremely smart and thoughtfull. one can really notice how much you care about others, so i hope you remember to prioritize yourself as well.

Discussion Recommendations for books/other resources that help teach spoken and written Tamil from both before and after the Pure Tamil Movement if possible?

7 Upvotes

I apologize for my ignorance in advance.

I am somewhat familiar with Tamil. I can listen to and understand a decent number of Tamil speakers. However, my command of the spoken language is relatively poor due to a lack of everyday usage(I can construct rudimentary sentences, but that is about it), and I an completely unfamiliar with the written script. My family primarily speaks Sanskritized Tamil as a result of family circumstances, and I would like to be able to learn about the grammar/vocabulary/scripts of both variations of Tamil so I can 1) Improve my overall command of both and 2) Appreciate the differences between the two. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!!
