Ending something completely
Contexto cultural
In Tamil cinema, the hero often uses this phrase before the climax to signal the end of the villain's power. The phrase is used frequently in political discourse regarding the resolution of long-standing ethnic issues. Modern Tamil poets use this idiom to contrast with ancient poetry which was often continuous and lacked punctuation. In Chennai's corporate world, 'putting a full stop' is a common way to say a project is officially closed and billed.
Use with '-ku'
Always remember to add the '-ku' (to) suffix to the thing you are ending. E.g., Sandaikku, Pazhakkathirkku.
Not for physical objects
Don't use it for stopping a fan or a car. It's for abstract situations.
