Barani,
Looks like you are writing a book or translating a book. I will take a few words at a time and give you what comes to my mind.

Preface: munnurai, mukavurai
abstract: surukkam
introduction: arimukam, puguthudhal
critic: vimarsagar
aim: ilakku, kurikkoL
objective: ilakku,kurikkoL, nokkam
method: murai
material: poruL
procedure: sei murai

I am not sure whether these are 'poetic'. A lexicon is the best source. These days poems have common words!

[*]

Here is the rest. plz correct whatever is wrong.

analysis - aaraichi,
observation - nOttam,
findings - mudivugal(??),
results - mudivugal,
discussion - vivaadham,
conclusion - mudivu,
decision - theerpu,
determination - mana urudhi,
drive(will power) - mana urudhi,
design - seyarthittam
deployment - ubayogithal
development - munnetram
reference - kurippu,
review of literature, - paathirangalin marupaarvai
tables - kattangal
figures - varaippadangal,
illustration - same as above,
statistics - pulliyiyal,
psychology - mano thaththuvayiyal
philosophy - thathuvayiyal
thinking, sinking, winking - why asking??

Hello.

en pEr SkanthavEl NadarAjA. naan thamizh katRukkoLLa vEndum. I was learning Tamil previously and then my learning has stopped. Since two years ago, I have not done much Tamil learning. May I post some of my most recent notes for correction here? I hope that one day, I will be a fluent Tamil speaker. I know Tamil alphabets and I can read quite well.

[rajraj]

Yes skanthan! We will be happy to help you!

Rajraj et al,

Help me out on my "Learning Tamil" thread in miscellanious section. I am posting all my Tamil lessons both previous ones and new ones along with my queries in regards to Tamil and my previous experiences with learning. I feel safer to do all my Tamil learning/post my queries there than to post my queries all over the forum. This way, I can look back on that thread when I forget some words or how to write it properly.
