Common Mistakes
Common Mistakes:
- Calling hospital as aaspathiri slang but maruthuvamanai formal both okay? Actually aaspathiri common English? Both works.

- Test as test English okay but parisodhanai Tamil formal.
- Discharge as discharge English common but discharge pannanum.
Cultural Note & Practice
Cultural Note: Govt hospital Egmore, Royapettah big – free but rush 5am queue. Private Apollo, MIOT high cost but quick. Attendant stay with patient? One relative allowed. Food outside? Kanji? After discharge, go temple thanks. Many avoid eating non-veg in hospital campus out of respect.
Practice:
- Ticket: OP ticket enga?
- Queue: Varisai enga? Varisaila nikkava?
- Doctor: Doctor eppo varuvaanga?
- Test: Blood test enga?
- Release: Discharge eppo?
