hi mr. stranger

Thanks, crazy! (It really sounds crazy when I have to address you )

How do they tell when the kid did something really wrong and they are really mad at the kid and want to say "not to do that" any more.

Will they still use the "respect" or it will change then?

I am just trying to learn. So please do not misunderstand me here!

stranger: It is not just in Srilanka. In some parts of Tamilnadu also the young ones are addressed with respect.

thambi vaanga, thambi saapidunga, thambi appadi seyaadheenga. saappidunga ayyaa. First time I was exposed to that I was surprised.

[Peptobismol]

well mr. stranger,
it has been a long time since i was a kid and someone really got mad at me. since u r asking, i will listen now on very careefully what and how people r yelling to the young ones and whether they use the "respect" or not!

[MannoFr]

Thanks, raj!

Thanks, crazy! I think I got the answer!

[Fegasderty]

I am sure srilankan tamils have a dialect!

Would you all agree if I say:

* KK district,

* coimbatore and gownder belt

* thirunelvEli thamizh

* madurai thamizh

* chennai and chengal pattu thamizh

* thanjaavoor thamizh

are all different dialects?

How would one differentiate a dialect from the "slang" or "colloquial thamizh in different parts of TN"

Do they mean the same?

No. 1, I am not Thiru.
No. 2, I inserted the source in your original post, so that the Hub doesn't infringe any copyright issues.

In Kerala we have different dialects, but I would also consider Malayalam itself as a Tamil dialect!

The use of "da" and "ra" is part of the Malayalam language, but you only use it for your friends, and colleagues, not for elders and respectable people. For example, if I was tellin my younger brother to take something, I would say "edraa!", or if I tell him to let go, "vidraa!". Or if I tell him to come, I would say "vaada", and if I tell him to go "podaa!".

By "forum" altogether means the Hub or any of its sections???

I meant the section.. The thread was originally posted in Tamil films section...
