Tamil thesaurus for English words and phrases
Topic suggested by Udhaya on Tue Oct 13 09:26:12 .
I was hoping this thread could serve to expand our Thamizh vocabulary, personally I would benefit a lot from it. For instance, I would like to know the Thamizh equivalent for "irony".

Gokul,
muranpadu is straightforward and mostly means "breach". But it's still better than what I could think of.
Stereotype was a toughie! How about "thaniththanmai maruththal"? I know it's too wordy though.

Gokul,
how about 'achchu kOththaarpOla' - it is just the literal meaning for 'stereotype'. i think balaji and udhaya have covered the other meanings-'unvarying form' and 'not original or individualized'.

words.

irony is something like a vEdhanaiyAna nagaichchuvai. my own
"creation" for this word would be "annagai" (alladhu + nagai; alladhu
is opposite of nalladhu!!). Or may be thInagai would be an apt and short
word. Too old sounding???
will try something for sterotype also, soon.

what is the thamizh word for "cliche"?? whenever i see a normal thamizh film, the thought that springs to my mind is "it is highly cliched". but several people don't know the english usage and i am not able to translate into thamizh.

balaji,
"araitha maavu" is the Thamizh cliche to describe cliche.
