“நீச்சல் குளமும் வைஃபையும் உள்ள ஹோட்டலைத் தேடுகிறேன்.” — The sentence in Tamil
In “நீச்சல் குளமும் வைஃபையும் உள்ள ஹோட்டலைத் தேடுகிறேன்.” ‘and’ is not a separate word: ‘-உம்’ is added to both nouns (குளமும் வைஃபையும், pool-and wifi-and). ‘உள்ள’ (which has) links them to the hotel.

English × Tamil: What changes from one language to the other
English says ‘and’ once; Tamil adds ‘-உம்’ to each noun, and puts the features before the hotel.
