Today's Tamil word - 1st May 2020 - சுழி


Zero - பூஜ்யம் (comes from Sanskrit). Wherever the letters or or comes, you can be sure that those words are not originally Tamil words. Tamil doesn't have the 'ha' sounds (or any other airy sound) in its vocabulary.

The correct Tamil word is சுழியம். When you read a number in Tamil, zero should be read as சுழி.

More ancient Tamil words to denote zero in texts are பாழ் and அன்று, which means no/nothing.
