@agathithamilan -

This video tutorial series is on Conversational Tamil. It is meant to teach simple spoken simple Tamil and is not about learning to read/write/pronounce Tamil as in Text books.

This is referenced in the first introductory video of the series.

I accidentally deleted a comment while replying to it. Here's the original comment:

@agathithamilan - this is not standard tamil pronounciation,this is the spoken language in most part of tamilnadu india.standard tamil is so called written tamil.that`s why it seems like malayalam.1-onru,2-irandu,3-mo­onru,4-naanku,5-einthu,7-ealu,­8-eddu, 9-onbathu.

Yes, both mani and neram mean time, it just depends on the context in which you use it.

The only instance you use 'mani' to describe time is when you want to say "'0 clock'" (eg: it's 1'0 clock is Oru mani aachu). Otherwise you can use neram.

I think its pretty cool that "Mani = Time" in Tamil, a common saying in english is "Time = Money". a good way to remember that lol

Vankkam Madam,

The lessons that you uploaded are very , very..good for learners like me. Actually I have been trying to get lessons on Tamil for years but I could not get useful ones , at last I could get your lessons by god’s grace. I had never believed that Tamil is that easy until I saw your lessons .Really you have done wonderful job.

Please upload more lessons so that we can learn good Tamil .

Hope more lessons from you soon.

Good bye

I would say you pronounced seven slightly wrong. It's not so much a hard "L" (ḷ ) as it is a retroflex approximant or 'ɻ',. In Tamil the hard l is designated by ள், and the consonantal sound in 7 is "zh" or ழ். So it would be pronounced 'Ezhu' rather than "YeLu". Thanks.
