Tamil alphabets



Tamil romanization



Tamil has long and short sounding word. Using the wrong sounding will lead to different meaning.

For an example




A = short sound
Ā = long sound

U is pronounced as "uh"
Ū as "uuuuuh"

E = "eh"
Ē = "eeh"

wowow it looks very complicated..

i thought Thani is drink, Saapeder is makan

How to say "get the fcuk out of the way"?

Not really that hard la

why no hindi, chutiya

It looks so difficult.

What about tones?

'ni pi sapede' is wat?

Yup but even my wife can read Tamil. And she is a pinoy.


you can check on YouTube on the tone,

You must twist your tongue to get the sounding.

Suppose to be "Nee poi sappede"

You go and eat

Ni pi sapede means you go and eat shit.

Pi means shit

Hindi is more like Arabic

Mixed-blood babies

Lol

thaani = water

So wat does yennadey means?

i see all those indian movies that used to air on TV3 , usually in hindi.

I watched 3 idiots also was in hindi

Yenna dei means "what is it dei" in a rude manner.
To ask in a polite way, "ungalluku Enna vendum"

Yup, Hindi script and brahmi script ( Tamil, Telugu, malayalam" are different.

Infact Aryans brought their Hindi language during invasion hundreds of years backs

ah mah..

i know kunji ilek

kuddi karan macha jom go thanni

The term kunji is used to identify baby chicks.

For example chicken hatchlings or chicks are called kooli kunji.

Kunji is also indentified as being small, hence the term used for a man's private part.

You should teach some of the swear words.

The correct word is Om (for ceylonese Tamil) or ahmam/ah mannga( polite way).

Depend on slang.

Baeku/Muthal= stupid

But I don't want to highlight vulgar words as part of learning proper Tamil la

kunji

pagel heh

i thought saaptiya is makan?

who was the recent Malay kid UPSR student that got "A" in Bahasa Tamil?

mera naam leah


ehhh

Saaptiya means have you eaten ?

Naan Unnai Kadalikiren.
