[v arun kumar]

paki yatum adduchukadai,,,,, till date i am yet to figure out the equivalent of pakki in any other language

 

[ShivKC]

arnt you thick skinned !! unnaku dadhi charmam daan

fairly a good attempt.. it sounds bit close to it.. how to distinguish between சூடு & சொரணை?

btw, http://www.google.com/transliterate/Tamil may be of helpful in typing here with tamil script..

My efforts to your question

are listed below!

Bay sharam ho kya??? :mad2:

:Meekku siggu ledhaa??? :doh:

naanam illallo??? :whoo:

Have any sense or shame???

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

"To compete WITH" is the right usage

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

"What is your order / rank among your siblings ???"

I can't. Another difficult one.

why this Kolaveri VR ? ஒன்லி இங்கிலீஷ் ப்ளீஸ் !! தமிழ் also.

anyways, siggu in telugu neither convey the heat of 'Chooru ' nor the மானம் oriented 'choranai'

naanam of malayalam is nothing but வெட்கம் , no way closer to what I was looking for.

Dear Mr. Shiv,

You are the quiz master and whatever you say GOES!

I still feel that we don't have translate word by word to

get the meaning of a phrase.

It is the combination of words that brings out the

meaning.

Why have you left out dissecting the other two

translations???

If you want to feel the "heat" contained in the

translation and see light (the stars after questioning)

just try them out on the native speakers of those

languages. :brick:

Bonus milder Telugu version:

"neekku siggu lekap poyinthaa???"

why this Kolaveri VR ? ஒன்லி இங்கிலீஷ் ப்ளீஸ் !! தமிழ் also.

anyways, siggu in telugu neither convey the heat of 'Chooru ' nor the மானம் oriented 'choranai'

naanam of malayalam is nothing but வெட்கம் , no way closer to what I was looking for.

Each language has special words for which we can not find equivalents in other languages!

That is the greatness of the language too! :thumb:

Just check out the names for relatives in Tamil. மாமா, மாமி, சித்தப்பா, சித்தி, பெரியப்பா, பெரியம்மா, அண்ணா, அண்ணி,

தம்பி, (தம்பி மனைவி = ?? ) மச்சினன், மச்சினி, சகலை, ஓரகத்தி, தாயாதி etc. But is there a single word for 'cousin'?


:noidea:

 

[renuka]

Ok what about these words:

dubuku, kasumalam, somari, kepmari, bemani, mavane gaali da ni!!​

 

[ozone]

why is this database being built?
anything anticipated?

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Renu!
Your senthamizh vocabulary is simply stunning! :dizzy:..... :wacko: :faint:

Ok what about these words:

dubuku, kasumalam, somari, kepmari, bemani, mavane gaali da ni!!​

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Always suspecting traps :suspicious:

where there is just harmless fun??? :becky:

why is this database being built?
anything anticipated?

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I am curious to know what the word

dubuku = ??? in any common language!

 

[renuka]

I am curious to know what the word

[h=4]Dubukku - Clever fool[/h]

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Sound more like an oxymoron to me

How can a person be clever and foolish at the same time ???

Dubukku - Clever fool

 

[Raji Ram]

Ok what about these words:

dubuku, kasumalam, somari, kepmari, bemani, mavane gaali da ni!! ​

ஐயய்யோ! ரேணு! இதென்ன! 'பலான' 'பலான' வார்த்தைகளா கீதே3!! :blah:​

​

[Raji Ram]

Any answer for my Q?

Equivalent of the word 'cousin' in Senthamizh or Tamizh...

 

[sarang]

Yours is better than what my teacher tried - what position/ rank you occupy among the sons of your father?

sibling refer to both brothers and sisters.

"What is your order / rank among your siblings ???"

 

[sarang]

These are slang and will not find a place in any respectable dictionary. There are tamil equivalents for punjabi swear words too, but they are no, no.

Ok what about these words:

dubuku, kasumalam, somari, kepmari, bemani, mavane gaali da ni!!​

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I can't. Another difficult one.

நீ உங்க அப்பாவுக்கு எத்தனையாவது பிள்ளை?

"What is your rank among your brothers???"

Is this better Mr. Sarang????
