"Pati, that is a beautiful thought," Aravind said. He wanted to tell her that he would try to live by those words, but he didn't know the Tamil words for "famine" or "honesty."
Aravind felt a rush of emotion. He looked at his grandmother, really looked at her, for the first time that week.
She spoke again, faster this time. "பஞ்சம் வந்தாலும், நேர்மையா வாழணும்னு சொன்னாரு." google translation to tamil
Aravind tapped the speaker icon. A clear, synthesized female voice rang out from the phone: "Naan avarudaiya vaarthagaip pin pattri muyarchippen, Pati."
Here is the Google Translate version of the phrase into Tamil: "Pati, that is a beautiful thought," Aravind said
Let me know how I can help further.
The app churned out the Tamil script: "நான் அவருடைய வார்த்தைகளை பின்பற்ற முயற்சிப்பேன், பாட்டி." She spoke again, faster this time
He typed her sentence into the text box.
If you are learning the script, you can draw Tamil characters on your screen instead of using a keyboard. How the Technology Works
Aravind quickly typed: "Even if famine comes, one must live honestly, he said."
