When it comes to expressing gratitude in Tamil, a “vote of thanks” holds a special place. Whether it’s a formal event, a community gathering, or a school function, conveying appreciation in Tamil adds a touch of cultural richness and sincerity. Here’s a guide on how to deliver an effective vote of thanks in Tamil.
Firstly, begin with a warm greeting to the audience. In Tamil, you can say, “அனைவருக்கும் என் மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்கள்” (Anaiyvarukkum en manamantha vaazhthukkal), which means “Heartfelt greetings to everyone.”
Next, acknowledge the chief guest and other dignitaries present at the event. You can say, “மாண்புமிகு சிறப்பு விருந்தினர்களுக்கும் மற்றும் மேடை அலங்கரித்த அனைத்து மக்களுக்கும் நன்றி” (Maanbumigu sirappu virundhinarkalukkum matrum maedai alankaritha anaitthu makkalkum nandri), meaning “Thank you to the distinguished guests and everyone who adorned the stage.”
Proceed by thanking the organizers and volunteers who made the event possible. For instance, “இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியை வெற்றிகரமாக நடத்த உதவிய அனைவருக்கும் என் மனமார்ந்த நன்றி” (Indha nigazhchiyaivettrikaramaga nadaththa udhaviy anaiyvarukkum en manamaarndha nandri), which translates to “My heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success.”
Finally, conclude your vote of thanks with a motivational note or a hopeful message for future events. You can say, “இந்த நன்று தெரிவிக்க வரும் நிகழ்ச்சிகளிலும் உங்களின் ஆதரவை எதிர்நோக்குகிறோம்” (Indha nandru therivikak varum nigazhchikalilum unggalin aadharavai edhirnokkirom), meaning “We look forward to your continued support in future events.”
