This is the 378th most frequent Tamil word.
மதன
The Tamil word "மதன" (Madhan) refers to the Hindu god of love and desire, Kama or Cupid.
In this context, 'மதன்' (Madhan) is used as a proper noun referring to a person's name.
மதன் ஒரு சிறந்த நண்பன்.
Madhan is a great friend.
Here, 'மதன்' (Madhan) is still a proper noun denoting a person's name, but it is used in an assumption context in the sentence structure.
ஒருவேளை மதன் சாய்ந்திருக்கலாம்.
Perhaps Madhan has rested.
In this instance, the sentence shows possession with 'மதனின்' (Madhan's) to indicate what belongs to Madhan, providing a context of ownership.
