My interpretation

I have been seeing a commercial on TV many times now. I think I understand it well but the meaning is just funny. So I thought I will confirm with my ammA what I understand from the advertisement.

In case you are wondering which advertisement I am talking about vogue empower - start with the boys ad.

Watching the ad being played on T.V.

pAdukA - So mean ma

ammA - yen pAdukA (why pAdukA?)

pAdukA - enna ¨ boys don't cry nnu sollinde irukka. appo girls azhuvaala? (why do do they say ¨boys don't cry¨. Then do girls cry ?)

pAdukA - Girls dhaan azhamaata (Only girls do not cry)

ammA - correct pAdukA. Girls don't cry.

pAdukA (watching the ad) - paaru ma inda girl azhala. anda boy adihchaalum (This girl does not cry even after this boy beats her)

pAdukA - naan correct-a sonnen, girls azhamaattaa (I told you correctly. Girls don't cry)

ammA smiling - correct

pAdukA (reading from the screen) - Let's start with the boys. enna ma start pannanum (ammA, what do we start?)

ammA does not respond. pAdukA continues to think aloud about what she saw and interpreted

pAdukA - nAn nenaikaren boys don't cry nnu sollara ila ammA. adhaan let's start with boys sollara. (I think since they kept saying ¨boys don't cry¨, I think they are saying ¨let's start with the boys¨)

ammA - olaraadha pAdukA (pAdukA, do not blabber)

pAdukA (irritated) - no, ammA. boy's seria azha matta, adhaan let's start teaching them to cry nnu sollara (Boys do not cry properly, that's why they are saying that we should start teaching them to cry proprerly)

ammA - !
