Hindi to Tamil Translation

வணக்கம் (vanakkam). It works at any time of day and with anyone, and you can say it with palms joined just as you would namaste. Copy the Tamil greeting from the phrasebook and keep its Roman guide beside it while practising. For a longer Hindi introduction, translate the complete sentence separately instead of assembling it from greeting fragments.

எப்படி இருக்கிறீர்கள்? (eppadi irukkireergal?) in written Tamil. In speech you will hear எப்படி இருக்கீங்க? (eppadi irukkeenga?). The usual reply is நான் நலமாக இருக்கிறேன் or simply நல்லா இருக்கேன். Use the complete polite question from the phrasebook before trying to shorten it. The Roman guide helps you read the Tamil, while the source Hindi lets you check whether the question matches the person you intend to address.

Only for people and gods in the third person: அவன் (he), அவள் (she), அவர் (he or she, respectful). Objects are neuter, so you never have to learn whether a table or a bus is masculine. Compare the whole Tamil sentence rather than carrying the grammatical gender of an ordinary Hindi noun into Tamil. When several people are mentioned, keep their identity explicit so the translator can choose a suitable reference.

Tamil uses one letter for several Hindi sounds and has no aspirated letters, so भरत is written பரத், and ख, ग and घ are all written with க. Grantha letters such as ஜ, ஷ, ஸ and ஹ are used for some Sanskrit and Hindi sounds. Confirm the person’s preferred Tamil spelling instead of treating a machine-produced name as authoritative. For an invitation, check initials and the full name independently of the surrounding sentence, even if the Tamil output looks fluent.

Only half the time. Hindi कल means both tomorrow and yesterday. Tamil has separate words: நாளை for tomorrow and நேற்று for yesterday, so you have to pick one when you translate. Give the sentence enough context to show when the event takes place. Check the Tamil time expression against the intended date before sending a meeting message, because the isolated Hindi word is not enough to choose it.

Use the -ங்கள் verb ending: கொடுங்கள் (please give), சொல்லுங்கள் (please tell). Adding தயவுசெய்து (please) is optional and sounds formal. Keep a complete phrasebook request when addressing someone you do not know well. Changing only a pronoun or adding a politeness word does not ensure that the rest of an unfamiliar Tamil sentence has the intended tone.

Not by descent. Tamil is Dravidian and Hindi is Indo-Aryan. They share many words borrowed from Sanskrit, and a few from Portuguese such as சாவி and चाबी (key), but their grammar developed separately. For practical translation, focus on the whole expression rather than shared-looking words. Use the Hindi-to-Tamil phrasebook for a listed request, and check a new sentence separately when a machine translation changes a name or relationship.

Use Devanagari for the Hindi input. This page does not include a Roman-Hindi-to-Devanagari converter, and the Tamil script-conversion feature is for Tamil words only. Paste an existing Hindi sentence or enter it with your Hindi keyboard, then compare the Tamil output with a matching phrasebook entry if one is available.

Ask the person for their preferred Tamil spelling and compare it separately with the translated sentence. The translator may confuse a name with a common Hindi word or choose an unfamiliar Tamil spelling. Keep initials and family names unchanged where required, and confirm the full displayed name before using it on a form.

The phrasebook contains a fixed set of Hindi expressions paired with Tamil. When it shows a closest match, read the Hindi phrase it actually matched before copying the Tamil. A changed person, destination or request may make the nearby phrase unsuitable; use the server or Google Translate for that complete new sentence.
