Tamizh Mix..................

I have to thank one of my close friend for reminding me to continue my blog.......
After some controversial topics which i have wrote in my previous blogs i have one more........
This is not to hurt anyone, it's my gut feeling

Tamizh naatla Tamilzhin nilamai............
Nowdays it has become a passion to talk in english, eventhough we are in tamilnadu, namma chennai la......
I can accept this to some extent as everyone will have the tendency to get attracted towards new things..
But let me tell you "slowly and steadily we are losing our identity"

Eppo lam neraya per kooda mudhal thadavai pesurappo konjam adhigamave "English - Tamil mix" la thaan pesuraanga......
Most people really want to speak in english thinking that is really smart.
Lot of them are mixing tamil and english intentionally when they are speaking with others.

I'm not opposing people who talk in english, but those who consciously attempts to put in some english words in between their tamil conversations .

For example

Dialogue Situation 1 : If someone has to ask the other person near him to take the water bottle in the table


Most of the people's dialogue is : Antha watera konjam edunga !!

Instead it should be Antha thanni ya konjam edunga !!

்Dialogue Situation 2 : If someone enquire about an address with a person in the street


Most of the people's dialogue is : " Apdiye straighta poi, left la thirumbhi,
thirumbavum oru left eduthinganna athan antha address !! "

Instead it should be "Apdiye nera poi edathu pakkam thirumbhi, konjam thooram pona thukku aprom thirumbavum edathu pakkam thirubhininganna athan antha vilasam !!"

I'm 100% sure that, if a person from younger generation(10 yrs old) is involved in the above situation, he/she would not have understood the "exact tamil version". Instead he/she would have understood the "mix version" very clearly

Already some of the tamil words are going out of memory like

Saatham - Soaru
Aalayam - Kovil
Neer veelchi - Aruvi

this list is endless........

Recently i went to a famous tamil restaurant in chennai for lunch
It was unlimited meals...so after the first round i called the waiter and said "Konjam soaru konduvaanga"...
Avan ennadanna enna nakkala paathan....,soaru kondu vaanga nnu sonnathu avanukku konjam keel thanama therinjirukku...
In the same situation if i had asked "Konjam rice kudunga" then he would have treated me as a different customer..
That's the state of tamil in singara chennai...


My analysis and observation in this topic tells me the following things

1) Soceity is pushing something which our people are accepting with both hands

2) We tamilians should feel proud to talk in tamil

3) Tamil-english mix causes rift among the soceity


Real smartness of a person is when he/she differentiates tamil and english and use them in seclusion
