The accurate response to a question.
Contexto cultural
In Tamil schools, 'Sariyana Vidai' is often followed by a 'star' or a 'good' remark in the notebook, creating a strong psychological link between the phrase and success. Sri Lankan Tamil speakers often use 'விடை' more frequently in daily speech than Indian Tamil speakers, who might lean towards 'பதில்'. In weekend Tamil schools abroad, this phrase is one of the first formal collocations children learn to bridge the gap between home-spoken Tamil and academic Tamil. The phrase is a staple of 'Pattimandram' (Debate shows), where the moderator decides whose argument is the 'Sariyana Vidai' to a social problem.
