معنی
Earning a decent amount of money.
زمینه فرهنگی
Earning 'Nalu Kasu' is often the primary metric of success for a young adult, especially before marriage discussions begin. In countries like Singapore or Canada, the phrase is used by immigrants to describe the struggle of establishing themselves in a new land. Tamil movies frequently use this phrase to depict the 'angry young man' or the 'struggling hero' who wants to prove his worth to his father. In villages, 'Nalu Kasu' is associated with the harvest season or local festivals where traders make their annual profit.
Sound like a local
Use 'Nalu Kasu Paarkanum' instead of 'Sampathikanum' to sound more like a native speaker from Chennai.
Avoid literalism
Never use this when you are actually counting four physical coins; use 'Nangu Kasugal' for that.
