뜻
Talking without thinking.
문화적 배경
Malayalis value 'shaleenata' (modesty and restraint). Speaking without thinking is seen as a sign of poor upbringing (thara-tharathvam). The idiom is a favorite for scriptwriters to show conflict. It's often used in 'mass' dialogues where a hero puts a villain in his place. The term 'Thallu' is a modern slang related to this, used to call out people who exaggerate or lie on social media.

The 'Vayi' vs 'Manassu' distinction
Always remember: Mouth = Bad/Impulsive, Mind = Good/Sincere.
