கையைத் தட்டுதல்

கயத தடடதல

To applaud

Showing appreciation by clapping.

🌍

문화적 배경

Clapping is often accompanied by 'Whistling' and 'Paper throwing' in theaters to show extreme love for a star. In 'Kummi' dance, women clap in a specific rhythm to keep time without any instruments. During the 'Ketti Melam' (loud drumming) when the groom ties the knot, guests don't usually clap; they throw yellow rice (Akshatai) as a blessing. Clapping is strictly done only at the end of a 'Kutcheri' (concert) to maintain the sanctity of the music.

The 'Th' Rule

Always remember to add the 'th' (த்) sound between Kaiyai and Thattu. It makes you sound like a native speaker.

⚠️

Not for Anger

Never use this phrase to describe hitting someone in anger. It will be misunderstood as you being happy about the fight.
