DomainK Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 From that sprite ad. What happens there? What does Tambi mean? What goes wrong? OF course you cant win a good looking girl by serving sambhar in a folded dhoti and specifically when you look like an idiot. But what does tambi mean?
Ram Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Have not seen the ad as yet, but Tambi means brother in Tamizh.

zubinpepsi Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 ^^ younger sister = thangai / thangachii.. chinnama = small mother ( mother's sister)
beetle Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 ^^ younger sister = thangai / thangachii. Never heard any one use that.....may be because most of the time we end up calling the younger ones by their name.

Ram Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 thangai is usually used in the cities n thangachi is more popular in villlages.. they r usually used in indirect reference... Wrong, ‘Thangachi’ is used only by T.Rajendar. I am yet to come across another Tam guy who uses that. :D

Macj Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Thambi - chaste Tamizh word from brother. Anna - another word for brother.
Macj Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Thangai - also means jewellery - alluding to a younger sister being the jewel of the family.
