Negation in Tamil[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]
In this lesson, you will learn how to negate sentences in Tamil. In Tamil, negation is formed by adding a negative marker to the verb. Let's take a look at some examples:
Tamil | Pronunciation | Finnish |
---|---|---|
நான் செல்ல வேண்டாம் | Nāṉ cella vēṇṭām | En halua mennä |
அவன் உங்களுக்கு உதவ வேண்டாம் | Avan uṅkaḷukku udhava vēṇṭām | Hän ei halua auttaa sinua |
நீ எங்கும் செல்ல வேண்டாம் | Nī eṅkum cella vēṇṭām | Et halua mennä minnekään |
As you can see in the examples above, the negative marker in Tamil is "வேண்டாம்" (vēṇṭām).
