اشتباهات رایج

In Tamil, vowel signs are never independent; they must touch or modify the consonant.

Wrong: Writing the vowel symbol as a separate letter.
صحیح: Attaching the symbol directly to the consonant.

The dot is the 'silence' mark. Without it, the letter defaults to an 'a' sound.

Wrong: Forgetting the pulli (dot) on pure consonants.
صحیح: Always use the pulli for pure sounds like க்.

Each sign has a fixed location (left, right, top, or bottom). Memorizing these positions is key.

Wrong: Misplacing the vowel sign (e.g., placing a right-side sign on the left).
صحیح: Follow the specific position rules for each vowel sign.
