The term 'ஜன்னல்' (jannal) is borrowed from the Arabic 'janāzi', indicating a historical cultural exchange. It has been adapted within Tamil to describe openings that allow light and air into buildings.
Used in both spoken and written contexts, it is common in everyday conversations. It can belong to both formal discussions and casual talk, with slight variations across regions.
