btw, http://www.google.com/transliterate/Tamil may be of helpful in typing here with tamil script..

"To compete WITH" is the right usage

why this Kolaveri VR ? ஒன்லி இங்கிலீஷ் ப்ளீஸ் !! தமிழ் also.
anyways, siggu in telugu neither convey the heat of 'Chooru ' nor the மானம் oriented 'choranai'
naanam of malayalam is nothing but வெட்கம் , no way closer to what I was looking for.

Dear Mr. Shiv,
You are the quiz master and whatever you say GOES!
I still feel that we don't have translate word by word to
get the meaning of a phrase.
It is the combination of words that brings out the
meaning.
Why have you left out dissecting the other two
translations???
If you want to feel the "heat" contained in the
translation and see light (the stars after questioning)
just try them out on the native speakers of those
languages. :brick:
Bonus milder Telugu version:
"neekku siggu lekap poyinthaa???"

Each language has special words for which we can not find equivalents in other languages!
That is the greatness of the language too! :thumb:
Just check out the names for relatives in Tamil. மாமா, மாமி, சித்தப்பா, சித்தி, பெரியப்பா, பெரியம்மா, அண்ணா, அண்ணி,
தம்பி, (தம்பி மனைவி = ?? ) மச்சினன், மச்சினி, சகலை, ஓரகத்தி, தாயாதி etc. But is there a single word for 'cousin'?
:noidea:

[h=4]Dubukku - Clever fool[/h]
Sound more like an oxymoron to me
How can a person be clever and foolish at the same time ???

Yours is better than what my teacher tried - what position/ rank you occupy among the sons of your father?
sibling refer to both brothers and sisters.

These are slang and will not find a place in any respectable dictionary. There are tamil equivalents for punjabi swear words too, but they are no, no.
