Words like ‘google, ‘microblogging, ‘youth club, ‘WalkmanTM, ‘webcam’, and many more have been taken from current usage of English.
The English base of the dictionary, taken from the Oxford Essential Dictionary, has been adapted for Indian readers.

Words like ‘acid rain’, ‘call centre’, and ‘shopping centre’ which do not have equivalent Tamil words have been explained by detailed definitions.
Many words such as ‘computer’, ‘multimedia’ ‘software’, and ‘smartphone’, have been written out in Tamil to show that such words have now been included in the language.
The Tamil translation is simple and reflects the current usage of the language.
A pronunciation guide using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is given for help in pronunciation.
Study pages explaining the use of preposition in context of numbers, time and date, how to write an email and a list of geographical names along with their adjective forms have been appended to help the learners in enriching their learning of English.
