The title is basically my question. Chatbots say that pannadhe (or perhaps pannadhu) is a colloquial contraction of பண்ணியது, understood as a verbal noun, meaning "past doing". So the phrase "meet pannadhe illa" means "no past meeting", and the whole sentence basically means, "You've never met, right?"

Is this correct? I understand the word பண்ணியது and just want to confirm that pannadhu is indeed its colloquial contraction.

I heard this sentence ("Nee meet pannadhe illala") at 7:29 in the attached clip, from the movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya.

Thanks!

In the movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, there is a lovely song Mannipaaya. In its opening lines:

>kadalINil meenaaga irundhaval naan
unakkena karai thaandi vandhaval dhaan
thudithirundhen tharaiyINile
thirumbivitten en kadalidame

the unusual syllable "in" (இன், capitalized above) appears twice.

Chatbots say it doesn't really mean anything, since "kadalil" (in the sea) and "tharaiyil" (on the ground/sand) already carry the essential meaning. It just has a rhythmic or poetic function to make the lyrics flow better.

Is this right? Or does the "in" (இன்) carry some additional meaning?

Can you add the polite suffix "-nga" to the end of "Nijamaa soldren" (I am telling the truth) to get "Nijamaa soldrenga" (நிஜமா சொல்றேங்க) = "Respectfully, I am telling the truth"?

I thought I heard someone speak this way but wasn't sure if this makes sense. The audio wasn't clear, but from the context, this person was not saying, "You are telling the truth" (நிஜமா சொல்றீங்க) or "They are telling the truth" (நிஜமா சொல்றாங்க) but rather, "I am telling the truth."

So can I interpret this person as saying "நிஜமா சொல்றேங்க" = "Respectfully, I am telling the truth"?

Both Google and ChatGPT gave me confusing answers, so I thought I'd better ask here.

I came across the phrase "தெரிஞ்சுக்கலாம் இந்த பகுதி" today and Google says it means "Let's get to know this part" or "Let's learn (find out) from this section."

Okay, I get that, and I also get "இந்த பகுதி", but I wasn't sure about "தெரிஞ்சுக்கலாம்." I couldn't see how this word was constructed. So I asked Google for the formal (written) version and it said, "தெரிந்து கொள்ளலாம்."

This makes sense to me -- I can now see how the word is constructed -- but I just need to check whether it's correct, cos Google sometimes talks nonsense. தெரிஞ்சுக்கலாம் = தெரிந்து கொள்ளலாம்?

Is it a common phrase? I heard it on the radio (Adirai FM 90.4). The girl speaks very clearly so I like to listen to this radio station.

Thanks!

Can I confirm that the formal equivalent of "peca aarambicchirucchu" is "peca aarambitthuvittathu" (பேச ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டது)?

The whole sentence is "Enna book ellaam peca aarambicchirucchu", from the attached clip at 0:11-0:14 seconds.

What's the Malay word for "slash"? If directing ambulance or whoever to my place, how to say "Jalan 3/121" in Malay? Jalan tiga (what?) satu dua satu?

EDIT - Thanks guys 😅😅

This clip contains just two sentences. I think the following transcription is accurate but I'm not sure:

>Girl: அம்மா, இந்த book-க்கு அட்டை போட்டு கொடுமா?
Mother: அட்டைதானா? போட்டுருவோம்.

1️⃣ I'm not sure about "அட்டைதானா?" The subtitle given in the video is actually this:

>Mother: அட்டைதான போட்டுருவோம்.

But I can't make sense of this. I can't understand the word "அட்டைதான". I think the word here must be "அட்டைதானா?" The mother is asking a question and the meaning is "Just a cover?" But I'm not sure 🙁.

2️⃣ The word "போட்டுருவோம்" is colloquial for "போட்டுவிடுவோம்", right?

3️⃣ Is the following English translation accurate?

>Girl: Mother, can you put a cover for this book and give? (Can you wrap this book?)
Mother: Just a cover? We'll definitely put. (We'll get it done.)

Thanks!

The mother speaks three sentences. The given subtitles are:

>என்ன சத்தத்தையே காணும்.
சமத்தா படிக்கிறான்.
யாரு என் பொண்ணாச்சே.

1️⃣ Google thinks that காணும் in the first sentence should really be காணோம். I looked up this word and it means "missing" or "cannot be found," which fits the context. ("Sound is missing.") So the word should be காணோம், and not காணும், right?

2️⃣ In the second sentence, what is the formal version of சமத்தா? Is it சமர்த்தாக, derived from the root word சமர்த்து (skill, ability, expertise)?

3️⃣ Also in the second sentence, படிக்கிறான் should be படிக்கிறாள், right, since she's talking about her daughter?

4️⃣ In the third sentence, can I break down the word பொண்ணாச்சே in this way?
= பொண்ணு + ஆச்சு + ஏ
= பெண் + ஆயிற்று + ஏ (formal version)

5️⃣ Overall, is this English translation accurate?

>Why is it so quiet?
She's reading skillfully.
Who? My daughter indeed.

Thanks !
