Hmm.. the word I remember for apple is from a tamil dictionary at the Devaneya Pavanar library in Chennai, the place I used to visit as a kid. Maybe I am wrong. Doens't Seemaiyilandhai sound a bit contrived though?

How do you translate this: "For some, the sky's the limit... For him, it was just the beginning..."?

How do you translate this: "For some, the sky's the limit... For him, it was just the beginning..."?

Silarukku Vaanamae Ellai. Aanaal Avanukko adhu verum thodakkam dhaan.

It can also be translated as.
Silarin ellai vaanil mudiyum. Avan thuvanguvadhae vinnil irundhu dhaan.

சீமையிலந்தை என்பது பெரிய வகை இலந்தை என்பது சரிதான். Uni-koln/Madras-Lexiconஇல் சீமையிலந்தையின் ஆங்கில மொழியாக்கம் சற்று தவறாக apple என்பது கொடுக்கப்பட்டது.

appleக்கு ஆப்பழம் என்கிற சொல் சற்று புழக்கத்தில் உள்ளது.
