Danger - அபாயம்/அபாயகரம்
(வடமொழி/Sanskrit)
Original Tamil words -
அழிவு, கேடு, இடுக்கண், துன்பம், பேரிடர்
We have seen அபாயம் written in cautionary signs/symbols to refer to danger, even by the government of Tamil Nadu. But it isn’t even a Tamil word;
Tamil has many words to convey the meaning of danger/hazard; depending on the context the right word should be used.
அழிவு - ruin/destruction (நாசம் is Sanskrit too)
கேடு - detriment/disaster/evil
இடுக்கண்/துன்பம் - misery/distress
இடர்/பேரிடர் - danger/trouble
When will we Tamils ever realise what is Tamil and what is not?
