I have told my 5 year old daughter to speak தமிழ் as much as possible , when at home. Also, I told her to always reply in தமிழ் regardless of whether a question is asked in English or தமிழ். Recently I gave her a task to rip one page at a time (from right to left) on a notepad. She ripped the first one nicely.
Me: பேப்பரை சரியா கிழிச்சியா?
Reply: கிழிச்சிட்டேன்.
I was impressed to get an answer in தமிழ். She tried to rip the second page and it was a disaster. The page did not come off nicely.
Me: Did you do it the right way?
Reply: செம்மையா சொதப்பிட்டேன்.
Me: ?!
