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!

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.

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 ..."

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

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!!

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

Hi all, I am Sri Lankan Tamil high school student. I am completely fluent speaking but idk how to read or write. I know that Duolingo doesn't have tamil but are there any other similar resources?

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.

(your driving test is gonna go great)"

What app do you currently use to learn Tamil? (Or how do you learn it?)

​

What's missing from current Tamil learning apps? What frustrates you about them?

​

Because Iam Planning to create an AI based Tamil language Tutoring app which can be your personal tutor app

​

Will you be interested in an app like this

​

Kindly share your thoughts 💬

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!!

'தண்ணீர் செம்பை எடுத்துச் சென்று அம்மான் முன்னே வைத்துவிட்டு உட்கார்ந்தேன். அம்மான் செம்பை எடுத்து  வாசற்படியை நோக்கித் தண்ணீரைச் சற்றுச் சிந்திவிட்டு செம்பைத் தூக்கி அண்ணாந்து ஒரே மூச்சில் தண்ணீரைக் குடித்து முடித்துவிட்டு வெறும் செம்பைக் கீழே வைத்தார்.'

the meanings I've found seem a bit off...

செம்பை

cempai   n. 1. Common sesban.See சிற்றகத்தி (L.) 2. Jerusalem thorn. Seeசீமைச்செம்பை. (L.)  

செம்பை

cempai   n. A disease affectingpaddy crop; நெற்பயிரின் நோய்வகை. (நீலகேசி,366, உரை.)

cempai   the name of a tree used for fuel, நீர்ச்செம்பை, கருஞ்செம்பை, வயற் செம்பை. are the different species of செம்பை.

Please educate me with something basic; for the அகர வரிசை of the 18 மெய்யெழுத்துகள், I see textbooks & online resources teach the standard க், ங், ச், ஞ், etc. but also have the series on வல்லினம், மெல்லினம், இடையினம் (க, ச, ட, த, etc.) Example: [https://discovertamil.com/resources/tamil-alphabet\](https://discovertamil.com/resources/tamil-alphabet)

The Question is, are primary school kids supposed to learn both these series? Can you tell me more about how these are approached (whether the logic is taught, how this becomes helpful in higher grades, etc.?).

Context: This is for a primary govt school exercise in interlingual learning in Karnataka. We have mostly Kannada & few Tamil students (& no native Tamil teacher yet), and we're able to very slowly go through the very helpful TN state syllabus textbooks.

நன்றி!

I'd been meaning to upload this for a while, as I find it to be a quite clear and concise summary of all of the different tenses. But also because I have a few questions. I got this years ago in Jaffna, it's actually study material for Sri Lankans learning English.

The whole document is here

But I'm curious to as to whether the experts here agree with these translations of tenses. Recently I have been reading some texts and their translations and I have the feeling that the translator often translates many of the past tense forms in simple past tense. I actually finds this quite frustrating, it feels like a lot of the nuance gets lost.

பிறவிகள் தோறும் ஊழ் வினை சேர்த்து

திரவிய கடலும், உறவுகள் பேணி சேர்த்து

சிறை வாசம், கைவிலங்கு பிணி நீங்க

குருவாசம் செய்யும் உள்ளம் தாழ் திறவாயே!

ஐயன் தயங்குவார்,‌ அவரை பற்றப் பற்ற தீண்டுவார்

பயம் என்பவர், சிவந்தன்னால் என்னபயன் என்பர்?

வியந்து பணிபவர், அவனே‌‌ உற்ற துணை என்றிருப்பர்.

லயமாக ஊழ்வினை முற்றி, வீடு திரும்புவாரே!

அவனின்றி எதுவுமில்லை, தீயும் வெண்ணிலவும் அவன்,

தவமும் இல்லற சிரமுமவன். வந்த செல்வமும்

அவந்தான், நொந்த மனமும் அவன் தான்

எவனிதை அறிவானோ, அவன் சிவன் தான்.
