Thanks, crazy! (It really sounds crazy when I have to address you

)

How do they tell when the kid did something really wrong and they are really mad at the kid and want to say "not to do that" any more.

Will they still use the "respect" or it will change then?

I am just trying to learn. So please do not misunderstand me here!

stranger: It is not just in Srilanka. In some parts of Tamilnadu also the young ones are addressed with respect.

thambi vaanga, thambi saapidunga, thambi appadi seyaadheenga. saappidunga ayyaa. First time I was exposed to that I was surprised.

Thanks, raj!

Thanks, crazy! I think I got the answer!

I am sure srilankan tamils have a dialect!

Would you all agree if I say:

* KK district,

* coimbatore and gownder belt

* thirunelvEli thamizh

* madurai thamizh

* chennai and chengal pattu thamizh

* thanjaavoor thamizh

are all different dialects?

How would one differentiate a dialect from the "slang" or "colloquial thamizh in different parts of TN"

Do they mean the same?
