Session 4Prepositions

We have learnt quite a few words and their meanings in the previous sessions. There is a very peculiar pattern inherent in their usage. Knowing this will help one to construct hundreds and thousands of similar words, phrases and sentences. Here is an attempt to bring out that pattern to you and make it easier for you to use them.

Let us do this by grouping the patterns.

1. inda and ge (Literal Meanings are 'from' and 'to')Let us see how these "from" and "to" can be used:maneyinda officege hOgu. (Go to house from office) - Here it is used as "from there", "to there". Yaake Late? nanna magoo schoolge hOgakke hata maadidlu. avaLinda late aaitu. - Here, "from her or because of her" form is used.weather change inda nanage jvara bantu. Here, "due to" form is used.171 bassige kaytaa iddIni. (Here, bassu + ge becomes bassige, the “for” form of “ge” is used here)nanage kannada barutte. Hushaaraagiru. (Here, naanu + ge = nanage)nanna magoo aata aadakke playgroundge hogide. (aadu + ge = aadakke)bengaloorige "Udyaana nagari", "Silicon nagari" emba hesarugaLive.

2. alli, illi (Literally "there" and "here")illi ilee oushadi siguttade. - You get rat poison here.alli infosys bus nillalla, innoo munde hOgi. (The usage of alli as "there")maLeyalli gaadi OdisabEda. (Here, alli is used as "in")avanalli Enu maadtiddane?nimmalli yaarige C++ gottu? (Here, ‘amongst you’ form of "alli" is used)

3. u and annu (While answering who and whom, these are used)aNNavru dadasaheb award annu prime minister inda paDedaru.parliamentnalli ministers galaate maDodannu neevu nodiddeera?aNNanu tangiyannu schoolge kaLisida. jinkeyu huliyannu nOdi Oditu. (Animal)mastaru hidugarannu benchina mEle nillisidaru. (Plural form of huduga)

4. a ( literally his, her or it's)avara hesaru sOma.progeon infosysna anga samste.

5. re (Like Oh!, ooo, uh! etc, but can be used differently too)mahiLeyare mattu mahaneeyare.adhyakshare, nange maatanaadalu bidi.

SOME MORE RULES:

1. Aadaroo (Even then) when combined with questioning works, the meaning changes drastically.Ex:- yaaru + aadaroo = yaaraadaroo (yaaraadharoo sahaaya maadi)

elli + aadaroo = ellaadaroo (elliyaadharoo kandare thiLisi) hEge + aadaroo = hEgaadaroo (hEgaadharoo kelasa mugisi)

2. Usage of “ge”

ADDED TO BECOMES EXAMPLEWords ending with “U” / nouns ending with “A” / third person

ige Bassu + ge = bassige

First and second persons

age naanu + ge = nanage

Non living words ending with “A” and numbers

Akke Instead of ge, akke is usedadu + akke = adakke

Assignment:1. Form one sentence each using all prepositions different from examples covered in

the class/handout.

Session 5Introduction to verbs and Tenses

Overview

All tenses can be derived by using some simple chemistry like formulation. We try to examine a few in this session. A verb is combined with two things, when it is used in a sentence.The first one is tense dependent (say X) and the second one is the gender specific word. Ex: nODu means to see. nODuttane = nODu + utta + aane, means he will see.Here, utta is the X and aane is the gender specific word. Similarly nODuttaLe = nODu + utta + aale, means she will see.Similarly, nODutte = nODu + utta + E, means, It will see.Here, X = utta.The X depends on the present, past and the future tenses. Let’s see how it is used in detail.

Gender indicator”:

For present tense, the following are the different forms for various genders and persons.

Gender Male Female Non-humanTense yene aLe ide

“Person indicator”:

Person First Second ThirdTense yene eera/eeya aane/aaLe/aare/ide

Examples

a) To see: The verb word is “nODu”. The present continuous tense of this would be

nODu + tta + yene = nODuttene (I am seeing)

Present Tense

Analysis

Gender/ Person Tense form Examples English TranslationMale/Third person

nODu + utta + aane

avanu nODuttaane

He sees

24

Page 25: Kannada Kali

Kannada Kali

Female/Third person

nODu + tta + aaLe

avaLu nODuttaaLe

She sees

Non-human/Third person

nODu + tta + id + e

huli nODuttaide Tiger sees

Second Person nODu + tta + eeya

neenu nODutteeya

You look

First person nODu + tta + Ene

naanu nODuttEne

I see

First person nODu + tta + Eve

naavu nODuttEve

We see

In simple we can summarize the present tense as follows

Ene / Eve (First Person)Verb + Utta eeya/eera (Second Person)

aane/aaLe/aare/e (Third Person)
