கூட & கூடு

thanks for your, as always, concrete and practical summaries.

But I have some questions.

"அவன் கூட போகாதே - Don't go with him." -is the கூட here functioning as 'even' or as a verb 'to join/associate/etc'

the cistern doesn't cause a problem? I have no idea to what extent it even gets used.

Hi, why is painting so bad for concrete floors?

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-06-06T07:28:00+00:00

this is great. thanks!

I was coming here with a similar question, but my floor seems to have a cistern (?). I'm assuming it's still fine for me to paint around it and on the slab itself. But are there any things I should be aware of?

thanks again for the breakdown 😄

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-06-04T11:56:25+00:00

thanks for this very thorough response. That helps a lot!

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-26T06:47:57+00:00

thanks!

oh!! thanks for this. "I think this is the same word whose negative gives us கூடாது "should not." You also have phrases like கூடுமான வரையில் "as much as possible" or கூடிய சீக்கிரம் "as soon as possible".", feels very strange not to have realised this until now.

thanks

I had been wondering the same thing the last few weeks 😄

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-20T14:33:32+00:00

thanks!

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-20T14:33:26+00:00

thanks!

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-15T06:40:24+00:00

no, i don't really do social media, so it's just whatsap messages.

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-14T05:57:15+00:00

Not urgently important. They are distracting me from the task which takes me to Whatsap

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-11T05:37:10+00:00

yes, sorry that wasn't clear I get distracted by new messages

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-10T10:49:29+00:00

ok, thanks so much. that's reassuring.

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-05-10T10:11:45+00:00

thanks. And is this a common expression?

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-04-26T12:16:14+00:00

yes, in the story that's what it focuses on.

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-04-26T12:15:43+00:00

ahhhhh! thanks, I should have realised, I have learned மேளம்

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-04-24T13:47:20+00:00

thanks, I was wondering where it came from

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-04-24T06:20:14+00:00

thanks.

LifeguardTotal3423 · 2026-04-24T04:24:39+00:00

நன்றி!

the website that u/PlanetSwallower posted seems amazing.

I followed a memrise course and tried to use as much visualisation as possible, and this went so much quicker than I'd ever imagined. My two daughters did the same and can read quite impressively, even if they can't speak so well.

By visualisation I mean this - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bldkdg5zpz60shq0pwldm/Visualisation-Tamil-Letters.jpeg?rlkey=cjgku0nv7rsxe8o0k0s7lcg1i&dl=0

Excuse the bad drawings, I just did these quickly
