Signification
Someone with a lot of practice
Contexte culturel
In Tamil society, age is often synonymous with experience. It is common to see younger people deferring to an 'Anupavam mikkavar' even if the younger person has higher academic qualifications. Tamil LinkedIn and professional circles use this phrase to translate 'Senior Professional'. It carries more weight than just 'Senior'. In the world of Carnatic music, a 'Vidwan' is always described as 'Anupavam mikkavar' to show they have spent decades practicing their craft. In Sri Lankan Tamil, the word 'Anupavam' is used similarly, but sometimes 'Pazhagiya' (accustomed) is used more frequently in technical trades.
