Key Facts

In ancient mythology, when a person rubs a magic lamp, a Genie appears and 'Grants' them exactly three magical wishes.

1. Meaning 1: Financial Money (Noun)

  • மானியம் (Maaniyam) / உதவித்தொகை (Udhavithogai)
  • When the government or a university gives free money to a student for research, or to a farmer for agriculture, it is called a Grant. Unlike a bank loan, a grant never has to be repaid.
  • English Sentence: The scientist received a government grant of 10 Lakhs for his cancer research.
  • Tamil Translation: விஞ்ஞானி தனது புற்றுநோய் ஆராய்ச்சிக்காக 10 லட்சம் ரூபாய் அரசு மானியமாக (Maaniyam) பெற்றார்.

2. Meaning 2: Permission or Approval (Verb)

  • அனுமதி வழங்கு (Anumathi Vazhangu) / ஒப்புதல் (Oppudhal)
  • When an authority officially allows you to do something (like a principal granting a student 3 days of leave).
  • English Sentence: The principal granted me three days of sick leave.
  • Tamil Translation: முதல்வர் எனக்கு மூன்று நாட்கள் மருத்துவ விடுப்பு அனுமதித்தார் (Anumathithaar).

3. Taken for Granted (Idiom)

  • "Taking someone for granted": It means you completely stop valuing or respecting a person (like a loyal friend or mother) because you lazily assume they will always be there to help you no matter how badly you treat them.
  • Tamil Concept: ஒருவரை மதிக்காமல் சாதாரணமாக எடுத்துக்கொள்வது.
