What to say in Tamil are you

There are a few ways to say "Are you..." in Tamil, depending on the context:

For asking a question:

* நீங்க...வா? (neeṅka...vaa?) - This is the most general way to ask "Are you...". You would then replace the ellipsis with the relevant word or phrase. For example:

* நீங்க நல்லா இருக்கீங்கா? (neeṅka nallā irukkiṅka?) - Are you well?

* நீங்க டாக்டரா? (neeṅka dāktara?) - Are you a doctor?

For expressing agreement or disagreement:

* நீங்க...தானே? (neeṅka...thaanē?) - This means "You are..., aren't you?" It's used to confirm something. For example:

* நீங்க தமிழ் பேசுறீங்க தானே? (neeṅka thamiḻ pēsuṟiṅka thaanē?) - You speak Tamil, don't you?

* நீங்க...இல்லையா? (neeṅka...illaiyyā?) - This means "You are..., aren't you?". It's used to express surprise or disbelief. For example:

* நீங்க சென்னைல இருக்கீங்க இல்லையா? (neeṅka chennail irukkiṅka illaiyyā?) - You live in Chennai, don't you?

To simply state something:

* நீங்க... (neeṅka...) - This means "You are...". For example:

* நீங்க நல்லவர் (neeṅka nallavar) - You are a good person.

Remember:

* Use the appropriate pronoun based on the person you are addressing. "நீங்க" (neeṅka) is used for the polite "you", while "நீ" (nee) is used for the informal "you".

* Choose the correct word to replace the ellipsis based on the context of your question.

Hope this helps!
