معنی
Valuing something highly
زمینه فرهنگی
There is an immense cultural pressure to 'give importance to studies' (paḍippukku mukkiyathuvam koḍu). This is often seen as the only path to social mobility. In Tamil culture, guests are given the highest importance. This is reflected in the phrase 'Virundhombal'. With the rise of the IT sector in Chennai, 'giving importance to work-life balance' is a trending topic. Movies often revolve around the hero giving importance to 'Manaivi' (wife) or 'Thaai' (mother) vs 'Nanban' (friend).
The Dative Rule
Always remember the '-ku' suffix. Without it, the sentence sounds like 'Importance give study' instead of 'Give importance TO study'.
Don't use for people
If you want to say you value a person, use 'madhippu kodu' (give respect) or 'mariyadhai kodu'. 'Mukkiyathuvam' can sound like you are using them for a purpose.
