意味
Describing worn out clothing.
文化的背景
The 'Vessel-for-Clothes' trade: Historically, women would walk through streets calling 'Pazhaya thuniku pathiram!' (Vessels for old clothes!). They would trade stainless steel or plastic items for old silk sarees or cotton clothes. Repurposing: In most Tamil homes, an old soft cotton 'veshti' (sarong) or 'saree' is considered the best material for cleaning glass or dusting because it is lint-free. During the festival of 'Bhogi' (before Pongal), people traditionally burn 'pazhaya' (old) things, including old clothes, to symbolize the end of the old and the start of the new. When donating 'pazhaya thuni', it is a sign of respect to ensure they are not 'kandhal' (rags) but are still wearable and clean.

よくある質問
4 問No, for an old friend, use 'pazhagiya nanbar' (familiar friend) or 'romba nala therinja nanbar'. 'Pazhaya' sounds like they are an object.
It can be both, but 'thunigal' is the explicit plural. 'Pazhaya thuni' often refers to a single rag or the general concept of old clothing.
The opposite is 'pudhu thuni' (new cloth) or 'pudhiya aadai' (new garment).
You can say 'ubayogitha thunigal' (used clothes) or simply 'pazhaya thunigal' if the context is clear.
