Adjectives in Tamil[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
Adjectives in Tamil are used to describe or modify a noun. Unlike in English, adjectives in Tamil usually come after the noun they modify. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of adjectives and their usage in Tamil.
Types of Adjectives[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
In Tamil, adjectives can be divided into two main categories: qualitative and possessive.
Qualitative Adjectives[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
Qualitative adjectives describe the quality or nature of a noun. They answer the question "What kind?" or "What type?"
Here are some examples of qualitative adjectives in Tamil:
| Tamil | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
|---|---|---|
| நல்ல | nalla | yaxşı |
| புதிய | pudhiya | yeni |
| மிகவும் பெரிய | mikavum periya | çox böyük |
Qualitative adjectives can also be used in comparative and superlative forms to indicate degrees of comparison. The comparative form is used to compare two nouns, while the superlative form is used to compare three or more nouns.
Here are some examples of comparative and superlative adjectives in Tamil:
| Tamil | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
|---|---|---|
| பெரியது | periyaathu | daha böyük |
| பெரியதும் பெரியதாக | periyaathum periyaadhaaga | ən böyük |
Possessive Adjectives[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
Possessive adjectives indicate ownership or possession of a noun. They answer the question "Whose?"
In Tamil, possessive adjectives are attached to the noun they modify. Here are some examples of possessive adjectives in Tamil:
| Tamil | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
|---|---|---|
| என் | en | mənim |
| உங்கள் | ungal | sizin |
| அவர் | avar | onun |
Usage of Adjectives[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
In Tamil, adjectives usually come after the noun they modify. However, there are some exceptions, such as when the adjective is used to compare two nouns or when it is used in a specific phrase.
Here are some examples of how adjectives are used in Tamil:
- சிறிது நேரம் - siriuthu naeram - a little time
- பெரிய குழந்தை - periya kulanthai - a big baby
- கண்டிப்பாக நீங்கு - kandippa neengga - definitely you
