இனிமேல் இப்பிடி நடக்காது

In short

• ▶
  இனிமேல் இப்பிடி நடக்காது

  iṉimēl ippiḍi naḍakkādu

  it will never happen again

Why it looks that way

Literally 'from now on it will not happen so'. The adverb 'more' of quantity does not fit: this is a turn of time, not amount

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.

• ▶
  மன்னிக்கவும், இனிமேல் இப்பிடி நடக்காது

  maṉṉikkavum, iṉimēl ippiḍi naḍakkādu

  Forgive me, it will never happen again

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.
