意味
Taking a break from work or school.
文化的背景
Taking leave for 'Pongal' (the harvest festival in January) is non-negotiable for many. Most people take a full week of 'Viṭumuṟai' to return to their ancestral villages. In the 'Silicon Valley of India', taking leave is often called 'applying for leave' (விடுமுறைக்கு விண்ணப்பித்தல்). There is a high emphasis on 'Leave Balance' at the end of the financial year. Students often have to provide a 'Leave Letter' signed by parents even for a single day's absence. The phrase used is 'Viṭuppu viṇṇappam'. It is very common to take leave for a 'Mālai' (vow) pilgrimage, such as to Sabarimala or Palani. This is seen as a spiritual duty, not just a vacation.
The 'Līvu' Shortcut
If you forget 'Viṭumuṟai', just say 'Līvu'. Every Tamil speaker understands it, and it's very common in cities.
Don't say 'Do'
Never say 'Viṭumuṟai paṇṇu'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating literally from another language.

Reason Matters
In Tamil culture, when you take leave, people will almost always ask 'Why?'. Be prepared to give a reason (family, health, travel).
自分をテスト
Fill in the correct form of the verb 'எடு' (eṭu) in the past tense.
நேற்று என் தம்பி பள்ளிக்கு விடுமுறை ______.
Since the sentence starts with 'நேற்று' (yesterday), we must use the past tense masculine singular form 'எடுத்தான்'.
Which phrase is most appropriate for a formal email to a manager?
மேலாளருக்கு அனுப்பும் மின்னஞ்சலில் எது சிறந்தது?
'Viṭumuṟai eṭukkiṟēṉ' is the standard formal/neutral way. 'Līvu' is too casual, and 'Tūṅkukiṟēṉ' means 'I am sleeping'!
Complete the dialogue.
அமுதா: நீ ஏன் இன்று வேலைக்கு வரவில்லை? பாபு: எனக்கு உடல்நிலை சரியில்லை, அதனால் ______.
Babu is explaining why he didn't come to work. 'I took leave' (Viṭumuṟai eṭuttēṉ) is the logical answer.
Match the phrase to the situation.
1. ஓய்வு எடு 2. விடுமுறை எடு 3. வேலை நிறுத்தம் செய்
Rest (Ōyvu) is for tiredness; Leave (Viṭumuṟai) is for a trip; Strike (Vēlai niṟuttam) is for protest.
