Fish swims

意思

The natural movement of a fish.

🌍

文化背景

The fish is the symbol of the Pandya kings. You will see fish symbols on ancient coins and temple walls in Madurai. In coastal areas like Jaffna, the movement of fish is used to predict the weather. If fish swim near the surface, rain is expected. The phrase is often used in children's rhymes and songs to teach the language to kids living abroad. In Bharatanatyam, the 'Matsya' (fish) mudra involves a specific hand movement that mimics 'mīn nīntum'.

No, a dead fish 'mithakkum' (floats). 'Nīntum' implies active swimming.

It can be both! In Tamil, the habitual 'um' form works for both singular and plural neuter subjects.

You say 'Nāṉ nīntukiṟēṉ'. You cannot use 'mīn' here.
