TAMIL Name for INCUBATOR?
Why this Head-breaking Exercise...
.... to CREATE a new NAME for a New INVENTION?
.... What is the necessity?
Just think awhile on our past experience...
... on such FUTILE ENDEAVOUR ! !
Even illiterate People call... even now... after some centuries....
.... only in the near Original forms of English or Arabic.. in practice.
... irrespective of an IMPOSITION of translated TAMIL names.
For Example.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Original .................Tamil-Translation..................... Name in Vogue
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bus ...........................PAERUNDHU.............. ...................... PUSSU ....
Bus-Stand................PAERUNDHU NILAIYAM................PUSTAENDU
Railway Station ....PUHAI-VANHDI NILAIYAM........ RAYIL TAESUN
Park (Rly Stn)........ POONGA.......................................... PAARK TAESAN
Engineer....................PORHIYAALHAR.......... ....................INJINEEYARU
Supervisor............... MAELAALHAR...................................SOOPR AESARU
Jilla (District).......... MAAVATTAM................................... JILLAH
Taluq.......................... VATTAM............................................ THAALUKA
Engine.........................IYANTHIRAM......... .............................INJINU
Hospital.......................MARUTHUVA-MANAI......................AASPITHALU
Similarly if we say "KANINI" for Computer,
... how many people understand it...(.even amongst Tamilians)?...
... better than calling it as COMPUTER ...itself...?
... So to say...in its Original form of Language... whatever be.!!
Similarly people of other States translate in their Language, how can it be understood if all such different people discuss at one meet... even if they discuss through any Indian Non-English media.
We have adequately well-experienced in such conglomerations...!
....when a Tamilian says MINSAARAM...
... Telugus...... VIDHYUTH-SAKTHI....
....Hindiwalahs........ BIJLI....
.... For one and the same well-known word : ELECTRICITY....!!.
English people have NOT translated the Tamil Word KATTU-MARAM..
.... But call it as CATAMARON....
.... which term has been added to their Dictionary too !!
So..Why should we not call it as.... INCUBATOR... in all the Languages?
Why should we not be realistic on this matter, as advised by Rajaji?
