معنی
A shirt that has not been worn.
زمینه فرهنگی
Wearing new clothes (Puthu Thuni) is the most important part of festivals like Deepavali and Pongal. It signifies prosperity and the washing away of past misfortunes. The groom's family usually gifts a 'Puthiya Sattai' and 'Veshti' to the bride's brothers as a mark of respect and kinship. There is a tradition of 'Manjal Poosu' (applying turmeric) to the corners of a new shirt to protect the wearer from bad luck before they wear it for the first time. A 'new shirt' is often used as a visual metaphor for a character's sudden change in fortune or a successful job hunt.
Spoken vs Written
Always use 'Puthu' in conversation; 'Puthiya' sounds very formal.
Complimenting
If you see someone in a new shirt, saying 'Puthu sattaiya?' is a great way to start a conversation.
