Tamil Sentences and Phrases

Tamil sentences are the building blocks of the Tamil language, which is a classical language spoken primarily in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and northeastern Sri Lanka. Tamil has a rich literary tradition dating back to the early Sangam era and is considered one of the oldest surviving classical languages in the world.

The language has a complex grammatical structure, but the sentences in Tamil are typically formed using subject-verb-object word order.

The vocabulary of Tamil is influenced by several languages, including Sanskrit and Pali, and it has developed a unique style of poetry, known as sangam literature.

Tamil is widely spoken and is an important part of the cultural identity of the Tamil-speaking people, who use the language to express their thoughts, ideas, and emotions.

This page contains a table including the following: Tamil phrases, expressions and words in Tamil, conversation and idioms, Tamil greetings, and survival phrases. It also helps if you simply want to know what to say when chatting in Tamil, as the list below includes some of the most simple and common words for tourists and beginners alike!

Most of the sentences below are used for everyday life conversations, so they might come handy if you memorize them.

3 Tamil greetings

Unlike many other languages where there are multiple ways of greeting, in Tamil there is just one way of greeting others. To greet someone in person or whilst on the telephone or internet, you would say ‘Vanakkam’ and, if meeting in person, you would say this with palms pressed against each other facing the person.

The word ‘ Vanakkam ’ implies respecting the person who comes in front of another person. This is just like the word ‘Namaste’ which is used in Northern India, Nepal, and in other regions where Hindi is spoken.

A cheerful South Indian couple greeting the camera with their hands pressed together and held up by the middle of their chests.

When saying goodbye to someone or leaving a gathering, Tamils will say, ‘ Naan poyitu vaarein ’ meaning ‘I’ll go and come back’. This is an indication of being in constant connection with people.

Table 3 lists some useful phrases to use when greeting others and when saying goodbye. Read through the table and then listen to how each phrase is pronounced in the study note that follows. You will then have a chance to practise saying some of the expressions in Activity 3.

To start typing in Tamil, just type a word as it is pronounced in English. This would then be transliterated into Tamil. For E.g. if you type "Tamil moliyil tattaccu ceyya virumpukiren" then it would be transliterated into “தமிழ் மொழியில் தட்டச்சு செய்ய விரும்புகிறேன்” .

What is difference between Translation and Transliteration?

A translation tells you the meaning of words in another language. For E.g the translation of "India is multicultural country" would be "இந்தியா பல பண்பாட்டு நாடு" in Tamil. You can use various online tool for translating word, sentence and phrase from English to Tamil for FREE. Some of the popular translation tool are Google Translator , Bing Translator or use our own Tamil Translation for FREE.

On the other hand, transliteration software works on phonetics. A transliteration doesn't tell you the meaning of the words but it helps you pronounce them. What you type in Roman script is converted in Tamil script. For E.g. typing "Intiya pala panpattu natu" will be converted into "இந்தியா பல பண்பாட்டு நாடு" .

Therefore, we can say, transliteration changes the letters from one alphabet into the similar-sounding characters of another alphabet. This makes it the simplest and fastest method of typing in Tamil without practising any Tamil Keyboard . You can either use Google Input Tool or our own software for transliteration in Tamil for FREE.
