Rain is often welcomed with 'Filter Kaapi' and 'Vazhakkai Bajji' (banana fritters). It's a specific culinary tradition. Rain is a major trope for romance. Almost every big movie has a 'rain song' where the leads dance in the rain. For farmers, 'Maḻai peyyutu' is a blessing from the goddess Mariamman. It signifies a good harvest. Rain also brings the fear of 'Vellam' (floods) due to the 2015 floods. The phrase can sometimes carry anxiety.

No, for snow you say 'Pani peyyutu' (பனி பெய்யுது).

'Peyyutu' is for when it's already raining. 'Varutu' is for when it's about to start.

In Tamil, rain is neuter (it).

You say 'மழை நின்னிருச்சு' (Maḻai ninniruchu).

That means 'It's pouring'. 'Koṭṭu' means to dump or pour out a bag of something.

In a casual email, yes. In a formal one, use 'மழை பெய்கிறது'.

It means 'It is raining lightly'.

Yes, 'மழை பின்னுது' (Maḻai piṉṉutu) is used by youth to mean 'It's raining amazingly'.

Just add 'ā' at the end: 'மழை பெய்யுதா?' (Maḻai peyyutā?)

The spelling is the same, but the pronunciation of 'peyyutu' might sound more like 'peyyuthu' with a sharper 't'.
