Tamil NAATI CCL Vocabulary
Tamil is a rich, classical language, but interpreting conversational Australian English into natural-sounding Tamil requires specific vocabulary training. Candidates often lose marks by using "Tanglish" (Tamil + English) during the exam.
What this page helps you do
Provide a curated list of Tamil vocabulary specifically tailored for the domains tested in the NAATI CCL exam, such as health and immigration.
Why this topic matters
Examiners are strict about English mixing. If a Tamil equivalent exists for a word like 'appointment' or 'blood test', you must use it to achieve a high score.
How the NAATI CCL test works
Common mistakes candidates make
- •Using spoken colloquial Tamil (Pechu Vazhakku) instead of a more professional standard Tamil when required
- •Inserting English nouns naturally (e.g., saying 'Doctor appointment' instead of 'Maruthuvar santhippu')
- •Struggling to translate complex legal sentences smoothly
