அறிக்கை கொடுக்கிறேன்

In short

  அறிக்கை கொடுக்கிறேன்

  aṟikkai koḍukkiṟēṉ

  report back

Why it looks that way

Literally 'I give a report'. The noun arikkai serves for a report to the boss and a statement to the press alike

A word with a story stays in memory longer than one learned as a “spelling — translation” pair: memory holds on to meaning, not to a string.

In a live sentence

A single word almost never appears alone in conversation. A sentence shows where it fits and what stands next to it.

  மாதம் முடிய நான் அறிக்கை கொடுக்கிறேன்

  mādam muḍiya nāṉ aṟikkai koḍukkiṟēṉ

  At the end of the month I report back

How not to forget this word

Reading a word and remembering it are different jobs. A day later, little survives of a single reading — and that is not bad memory, that is how memory works.
