Today's Tamil word - 19th May 2020 - தேவலை

It's alright - பரவாயில்லை (Urdu)

Original Tamil word: தேய்வு இல்லை ('தேவலை')

We use the word பரவாயில்லை very often in our day-to-day conversations. The word 'பரவா' which is part of பரவாயில்லை is not Tamil. It comes from the Urdu word with the same meaning 'பர்வாநஹி' (ParvaNahi).

தேய்வு இல்லை is the right Tamil word for the same which has now become தேவலை. Though my family circle/community uses this word very commonly, not sure if this word is as common in use now among the broader Tamil society.

தேய்வு means deteriorate. So, தேய்வு இல்லை means 'not deteriorating', which is used to convey that things are alright.
