    Hey there, Singaporean students! 😎

    Are you tired of learning boring textbook Tamil that no one actually uses in real life? Want to sound cool with your Tamil-speaking friends or impress your family with some authentic slang?

    At LearnTamilOnline.com, we know that real Tamil isn’t just about grammar—it’s about how people actually talk! So, here are 10 must-know Tamil slang words your teacher probably never taught you!


    1. “ஏய் / அடேய்!” (Ey / Adei!) – “Hey!”

    • Usage: Casual way to call a friend (but don’t use it with elders!).
    • Example: “Adei, wait pannu da!” (Hey, wait up!)

    2. “ஜல்லி!” (Jalli!) – “Fake / Not serious”

    • Usage: When someone is joking or lying.
    • Example: “Jalli da, nee serious ah solre?” (Stop joking, are you serious?)

    3. “மொசு / மாசு!” (Mosu / Maasu!) – “Awesome!”

    • Usage: Describing something really cool.
    • Example: “Indha song mosu da!” (This song is awesome!)

    4. “புடிச்சிருக்கு!” (Pudichirukku!) – “Liked!”

    • Usage: When something is trending or super cool.
    • Example: “Unga style pudichirukku!” (Liked your style!)

    5. “அடடா!” (Adada!) – “Oh no!” / “Wow!”

    • Usage: Expressing shock or surprise.
    • Example: “Adada! Itha yaaru panne?” (Oh no! Who did this?)

    6. “சரி பாஸ்!” (Sari Boss!) – “Okay, cool!”

    • Usage: Casual agreement (like “Sure, bro!”).
    • Example: “Sari boss, naan varren!” (Okay cool, I’ll come!)

    7. “ஓட்டம்!” (Ottam!) – “Run!”

    • Usage: Playfully telling someone to escape.
    • Example: “Teacher vararu, ottam!” (Teacher’s coming, run!)

    8. “ஜோர்!” (Jor!) – “Amazing!”

    • Usage: Complimenting something exciting.
    • Example: “Diwali celebration romba jor da!” (The Diwali celebration was amazing!)

    9. “குட்டி!” (Kutti!) – “Shorty” (Friendly nickname)

    • Usage: Teasing a friend (not offensive).
    • Example: “Kutti, enga da pona?” (Shorty, where’d you go?)

    10. “ஏண்டா மச்சான்!” (Enda Machaan!) – “Hey dude!”

    • Usage: Super casual way to greet a close friend.
