However, depending on the context, it could refer to:
* "Caste": This is the most common meaning. "Jathi" in Tamil refers to caste, and "kai" means "hand" or "group," so "jathikai" could be interpreted as "caste group."
* "Category" or "Class": In some contexts, "jathikai" might be used more broadly to refer to any type of category or classification.
If you provide more context about how "jathikai" is being used, I might be able to give you a more specific English equivalent.
