معنی
People coming together in a place.
زمینه فرهنگی
Crowds are often seen as a sign of 'Kala-kala-ppu' (vibrancy and life). A lonely place is often considered 'moosamaana' (bad/gloomy). In Chennai, 'Kootam' in the T. Nagar shopping district is legendary, especially during the Diwali season. People travel from other districts just to be part of this crowd. The 'First Day First Show' (FDFS) of a big star's movie is a cultural phenomenon where massive crowds gather to perform 'Abishekam' to posters. The success of a political leader is often judged by the 'Kootam' they can pull for a 'Maanaadu' (conference).
Use with 'அதிக'
Always add 'அதிக' (adhiga - more/much) before 'kootam' to emphasize how big the crowd is.
Don't use for friends
If you are meeting 3 friends, don't say 'kootam koodinom'. It sounds like you are 50 people!

10 سوالYes, 'கூட்டம்' is a collective noun. Even though it's singular in form, it refers to many people.
Usually no. For animals, we use 'மந்தை' (mandhai - herd) or 'கூட்டம்' with the animal name, but the verb might change (e.g., 'ஆட்டு மந்தை'). However, 'பறவைக் கூட்டம்' (flock of birds) is common.
You can say 'கூட்டம் தாங்க முடியவில்லை' (Can't bear the crowd) or 'கூட்டம் அள்ளுது'.
It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your friends.
The opposite is 'கூட்டம் கலைதல்' (kootam kalaithal), which means the crowd dispersing.
Not directly. For traffic, use 'போக்குவரத்து நெரிசல்' (pokkuvarathu nerisal). But you can say a crowd gathered *because* of the traffic.
Not necessarily. It could be for a sale, a movie, or just a busy street.
You say 'என்னைச் சுற்றி கூட்டம் கூடியது' (Ennai sutri kootam koodiyadhu).
'Kumpal' is more like a 'mob' and is often used for unorganized or rowdy groups.
No, it's strictly for physical presence in a location.
