Secret Language GameWhen talking among adults without letting children know about it, adults tend to use a special code for which there exists no name in Tamil. By this method, the syllable க is added to every syllable in the word. Example: Ordinary Tamil: மிட்டாய் பையை பத்திரமா உள்ளெ வை 'keep the candy bag inside, safely' Secret code: கமி-கட்-கடா-கய் கபை-கயை கப-கத்-கதி-கர-கமா கவு-கள்-களே கவை நாளெக்கி சினிமாவுக்குப் போகலாம் 'we can go to the movies tomorrow'. Secret code: கனா-களெ-கக்-ககி கசி-கனி-கமா-கவு-கக்-ககு கபோ-கக-கலா-கம். No strict rule is followed while making this type of secret code, and there may be some irregularities due to convenience. This language is used only casually among the adults for the purposes of talking around the children, and there are no other serious purpose of using this method is found in the language. |
