Thamizh is a very ancient and pristine language. Its history goes a long way back. When you land in Chennai, the capital of Thamizh Nadu, the scent of Thamizh is hard to miss. Chennai Thamizh is a dialect of th ancient language, but you could hardly tell. Chennai Thamizh is really a lingua franca between English and Tamil speakers.
As soon as you land in Chennai and walk through the airport doors, you can meet the auto rickshaw man who is clearly a card carrying member of the Chennai Thamizh speaking community. He would woo by saying you are the first "savari"(customer) since morning , so you have to do "boni"(Appetizer).If you don't agree with him on a particular rate to a particular place, he would call you a "Saavu Kraaki" (Dead Meat). The beauty of Chennai Thamizh is that it is not thought in schools. It is somethign you develop. It is like common sense, nobody teaches you.
You would be perplexed to know the language and its terms. "What do you do with a Gujili?", if you thought Gujili was like Bijli(a Deepavali special cracker), then you better think again. Gujili is a girl. So what do you do with a girl?. You can do Gilma or Gujals. All these are synonyms for types of "fun", you can have with women. Has anyone ever given you "Halwa"? Innocently, if you say "yes" relating "Halwa" to the sweet jelly substance, then chennai laughs at you calling you an "idiot". You are given Halwa means you are cheated.
I am sure the world is already confused and is already saying" Dei Domaru, unkuda bada bejara pochu. Enga kitta wrongu kattina sevulu Avulayudum. Rapture aayiduva".(Don't mess with us) Email me and I can send you a glossary of terms used in Chennai. Carry it along , when you come to Chennai.
