뜻
Predicting the weather for the day.
문화적 배경
Rain is often associated with the 'Monsoon' (Paruvamazhai). The Northeast Monsoon is the main source of water, making rain talk very common in October and November. In Sri Lanka, the term 'மழை பெய்யுது' is often used even for future intent in some dialects, but 'மழை வரும்' remains universally understood. Rain is a symbol of romance. If a character says 'இன்று மழை வரும்', it often foreshadows a romantic encounter or a song sequence. Farmers rely on the 'Panchangam' (traditional almanac) to predict 'மழை வரும்'. It is a matter of survival, not just weather.

Tense Trouble
Don't use 'varukirathu' for the future. Stick to 'varum' for predictions.
