意味
To name a person or thing.
文化的背景
The 'Peyar Sūṭṭu Vizhā' is a major family event. The baby is often placed in a cradle, and the name is whispered in the ear. Naming often involves checking the 'Panchangam' (almanac) to find a name starting with a specific syllable based on the birth star. Young parents often combine their names to create a new name for the child, a practice called 'Portmanteau naming'. In Western countries, Tamils often 'place' a Tamil name as a middle name and a local name as a first name to balance identity.
The 'Endru' Rule
Always try to put 'endru' after the name. It makes you sound much more native. E.g., 'Ravi endru peyar vai'.
Don't use for 'My name is'
Remember, 'peyar vai' is an action. To say your name, just use 'En peyar...'.
