💡 The function gauntlet

Every function has the same bosses: the Quiz Aunty ('When are you marrying/buying/having?'), the Feeder ('kurachu koodi!'), and the Photo Uncle. Your weapons: smile, 'Sheri sheri!', 'Vayar niranju!', and strategic 'Adipoli!' at the food table. You are ready.

Mini dialogue — act it out

Aunty 1: Aaraa ithu! Orupaadu naal aayi!
Who is this! It's been ages!

You: Sughamano, aunty? Kandathil santhosham!
How are you, aunty? Happy to see you!

Aunty 2: Malayalam ariyaamo?!
You know Malayalam?!

You: Kurachu kurachu ariyaam!
I know a little little!

Everyone: (delighted gasps)
(delighted gasps)

Feeder Aunty: Payasam kazhikku!
Eat payasam!

You: Kazhichu, adipoli! ...sheri, kurachu koodi.
Had it, awesome! ...fine, a little more.

You (leaving): Poyi varaam! Veendum kaanaam!
Bye! See you all again!

Today’s task

🎯 Final rehearsal: perform the function dialogue with full aunty energy. If you can do this scene, no real function can defeat you.
