A question:
Which form of Tamil is commonly understood and spoken by all Tamil speakers? Pure Tamil? Indian Tamil? Colloquial Tamil???
Tamil is sooo sweet! :D
pure tamizh is outdated skan (not for conversation atleast)
colloquial is better (dialects differ from area to area)
Indian tamil is understood better in india.
Try tamizh without any accents.
I would say normal tamizh devoid of any particular dialect is best understood (without slang)
Thanks, Shakthi!
Normal Tamil.... Is that the same Tamil which I am learning now???
Sariyana sollu vanthu 'Unavu arunthuthal', I think, some one pls calrify thisQuote:

Raghu,Dev:
uN, arunthu, pusi, saappidu, thin - all can be used for 'eat'. arunthu, uN and saappidu means both eat and drink. tunnu is colloquial form of 'thin'. Typical of Madras Tamil.
skanthan: For common communication colloquial Tamil is used. Purer form is used in formal occasions - lectures,speeches and writing (literature). Colloquial Tamil changes depending what region of Tamilnadu you are in. It is true in Srilanka also. If you have lived all your life in Tanjore area and visited Coimbatore area you will find it a little bit difficult to understand some words.
neenga katruk koLvathu normal tamizh mattum illai.
Its mixed skan.
Ithu ennathu?? Nevr even heard of this!! Haiyo, I'm getting scared coming across such words in Tamil now! :shock: :lol:Quote:
