뜻
Showing respect to someone who died.
문화적 배경
The 'Kanneer Anjali' posters are a staple of the visual landscape. They often feature poems and the names of grieving relatives, serving as a public obituary. The term 'Veera Vanakkam' is often used with 'Anjali' for those who died in the civil war, carrying a heavy political and emotional weight. In countries like Canada or the UK, 'Anjali' is often paid through virtual memorial pages and live-streamed funerals, keeping the tradition alive digitally. The 'Anjali' gesture is often accompanied by the lighting of an oil lamp (Agali Vilakku) to symbolize the soul's journey toward light.
Use 'Malar' for flowers
If you are physically going to a funeral, say 'Malar anjali selutha poren' (I'm going to pay floral respects). It sounds very natural.
Avoid 'Sei'
Never say 'Anjali seithen'. It's a common 'foreigner' mistake. Always use 'Celuthinen'.
