معنی
Presenting something to someone.
زمینه فرهنگی
Giving cash in envelopes (Moi) is standard at weddings. The amount usually ends in 1 (e.g., 101, 501, 1001) as it is considered auspicious. Gifting often involves 'Pattu' (silk) sarees or gold jewelry for major life events like a girl's puberty ceremony (Manjal Neerattu Vizha). In Western countries, Tamil families have adopted 'Gift Registries' but still maintain the tradition of giving 'Pazhamum Paakum' (fruits and betel leaves) alongside modern gifts. During the Pongal festival, it is mandatory for many companies to give 'Bonus' or 'Sweet boxes' to employees, referred to as 'Pongal Parisu'.
The Dative Rule
Always remember to add '-ku' to the person you are giving the gift to. It's the most common mistake for learners.
Status Matters
If giving to an elder, use 'கொடுங்கள்' (kodungal) to be respectful. Using 'kodu' to an elder is considered rude.

Use 'Anbalippu' for Romance
If you are giving a gift to a partner, using the word 'Anbalippu' (gift of love) sounds much more romantic and thoughtful than 'Parisu'.
Right Hand Only
Always give and receive gifts with your right hand. Using the left hand is considered disrespectful in Tamil culture.
