सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Tamil Nadu, the 'hero' entry in movies often involves a slow-motion shot of the actor wearing sunglasses (karuppu kaṇṇāṭi). This has made wearing glasses a symbol of 'gethu' (style/coolness). There is a deep-rooted respect for those who wear glasses in rural areas, as it is often assumed they have studied a lot (paṭippāḷi). Among the youth, 'nerd' culture is becoming popular, and many wear non-prescription 'zero-power' glasses just for the aesthetic. While rare now, in the past, taking off one's glasses when greeting a very senior person or a guru was a sign of humility, showing that you are not 'shielding' your eyes from them.
Use 'iru' for the state
If someone already has glasses on their face, say 'அணிந்திருக்கிறார்' (aṇintirukkiṟār) instead of just 'அணிகிறார்' (aṇikiṟār).
Mirror vs. Glasses
Always check the context. If someone says 'கண்ணாடி உடைந்தது' (The glass broke), it could be a mirror, spectacles, or a window!

Yes! 'கடிகாரம் அணி' (kaṭikāram aṇi) is the correct way to say 'wear a watch'.
'Aṇi' is more formal and elegant; 'pōṭu' is casual and everyday speech.
