Economic refugee? Great phrase for all of us Keralaites who suffer from Communism at home.But yes Nirosha,that's the truth :cry: .

And you Sonuchechi,you seem to be very good at malayalam 'theri' :lol: .

Hai Thendi's and non-Thendi's,

I am also a 'Thendi' from Kerala. Started my 'thendal' just 4 years back and continuing successfully.

Some of my friends in bangalore tell me that kerala achieved 100% literacy because all the illitrates either went to middle east (Gulf) or came to bangalore (like me) :) . Now I can add Pune too :twisted: . What you say?

Possibly 'thendi' is derived from the word, 'thendum' which is superflous in meaning and usage, Pa!!

Thendum and Thendal are verbs
Thendi is noun

Thendi is used as a verb also.

Thendi is often refered freindly...so freinds never mean the real thendi...

hey..I would really like to know the answer as well.. I belief thendi means beggar.. however, some ppl refer to it as loafer..no idea..

blahblah

Thendi can mean both 'beggar' and ''loafer'' according to the context.I earlier gave only one meaning because this gentleman who posted this specifically asked whether it means 'beggar'or 'bas***d.When someone asks you ''whether you know that thendi who sits infront of the bus station'',it means beggar.When your mother asks you ''Ravile muthal evide thendi nadakkuvarunneda?'',it gives the other meaning :oops: .
