Did you know?

  • While garu is a common respectful suffix in Telugu, using the literal Tamil equivalent அவர்கள் after a name is much rarer and can sound overly formal or even awkward in casual speech.
  • While அவர்கள் is the plural form of 'he' or 'she', it is used as a singular pronoun when speaking to or about one person to show high respect.
  • The word அவர்கள் is built from the root அவர் and the plural marker கள், which is a suffix used in Tamil to denote plurality or high respect.
