"Enakku Thamizh paesa varaadhu." or 'Enakku Thamizh paesa theriyaadhu." Explanation: The literal translation of " I do not speak Tamil" will be "Naan Thamizhil paesa maatten". The exact rendering in English of each of the Tamil versions above is, "I don't have the ability to speak Tamil." and "I don't know to speak Tamil.", respectively. Since the words are told by a person not having the ability to speak Tamil, either of these will be more appropriate, rather than a literal translation. |
