I am just trying to learn. So please do not misunderstand me here!
When they yell to their kids, they mostly use singular & harsh words at time too ... But if they were to yell infront of ppl other than their family , then they mostly would still use plural form("respect") ! ....
And usually at home they use both plural form and sngular to address their kids , actually mostly plural ! ......
When acquainting with new ppl, they would use plural form till they become close with each other(that would be after a handful of talks) ! (be it 2 guys of same age or a guy 10 years elder than the other)
When I first came to aus & met guys from India, I felt so odd , coz the 2nd minute after we met, they would use singular form !! I was like what !!!!! .... but then I didn't mind it ..... got used to it ....

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!".
