  4. Some Corrections Mate :

    Welcome! (to greet someone)
    Vaazhga! - literally it means to succeed and normally to congratulate on person for success.

    Welcome - Varugai


    Thanks
    Romba Nandri - It should be Nandri. Romba is alot or much and should be Thanks alot or much.

    I Missed You So Much!
    Unnai rumba izhanthu vittéan. -this is the mother of all mistakes that you made.
    It means i have lost alot of you. Its like sorrow or something.

    In this context of missing you : Unnai nenachi rombha yengi poi vittaen.

    Peace
