Did you know?

  • The term முதல்வர் is also used to describe a 'President' or 'Prime Minister' in Tamil. It literally designates the person who is 'first' in a hierarchy.
  • The word கல்லூரி is a fascinating linguistic construction built from the root கல், which means 'to learn' and ஊர், meaning 'place' or 'town'.
  • In formal Tamil addresses, முதல்வர் is often preceded by honorifics to show respect, as calling a superior by their title alone can sometimes seem too blunt.

Examples in context

    kallūri muthalvar inṟu varavillai.
    The college principal did not come today.
  • எங்கள் கல்லூரி முதல்வர் மிகவும் கண்டிப்பானவர்.
