As we continue our journey to learn Kannada, we come across the need to express actions that have already happened in the past. In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate Kannada verbs in the past tense, including regular and irregular verbs.
==Introduction ==
In this lesson, we will focus on the past tense in Kannada, essential for discussing actions, events, or states that have already occurred. By the end of this lesson, you'll be adept at conjugating both regular and irregular verbs in the past tense, crucial for fluent communication in Kannada.


== Regular Verbs ==
== Regular Verbs ==
Regular verbs in Kannada adhere to a predictable conjugation pattern. To form the past tense, we add a specific suffix to the root form of the verb, which varies depending on the subject. Here are corrected examples:


Regular verbs in Kannada are formed by adding the suffix "-ದ್ದು (-addu)" to the present stem. The present stem is obtained by removing the "-ರು (-aru)" suffix from the infinitive form of the verb. Here is an example:
=== Example 1: To eat (ತಿನ್ನು) ===
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ಮಾಡುವ || māḍuva || to do
| ತಿಂದೆನು || Tindenu || I ate
|-
| ತಿಂದೆ || Tinde || You (singular) ate
|-
| ತಿಂದ || Tinda || He/She ate
|-
| ತಿಂದೆವು || Tindeve || We ate
|-
|-
| ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ || māḍuttiruva || doing
| ತಿಂದಿರಿ || Tindiri || You (plural) ate
|-
|-
| ಮಾಡಿದ || māḍida || did
| ತಿಂದರು || Tindaru || They ate
|}
|}


As you can see in the example, we take the infinitive form of the verb "to do" which is "ಮಾಡುವ (māḍuva)" and remove the "-ರು (-aru)" suffix to get the present stem "ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ (māḍuttiruva)". Finally, we add the past tense suffix "-ದ್ದು (-addu)" to get the past tense "ಮಾಡಿದ (māḍida)" which means "did".
=== Example 2: To sleep (ಮಲಗು) ===
 
Let's look at some more examples of regular verbs in the past tense:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ಹೇಳಿದ || hēḷida || said
| ಮಲಗಿದೆನು || Malagidenu || I slept
|-
| ಮಲಗಿದೆ || Malagide || You (singular) slept
|-
| ಮಲಗಿದ || Malagida || He/She slept
|-
|-
| ಬರೆದ || bareḷida || wrote
| ಮಲಗಿದೆವು || Malagidevu || We slept
|-
|-
| ಓದಿದ || ōdida || read
| ಮಲಗಿದಿರಿ || Malagidiri || You (plural) slept
|-
|-
| ಬಾಯ್ದಿದೆ || bāydidu || opened
| ಮಲಗಿದರು || Malagidaru || They slept
|}
|}
In all these examples, we simply take the present stem of the verb and add the past tense suffix "-ದ್ದು (-addu)" to get the past tense form.


== Irregular Verbs ==
== Irregular Verbs ==
Irregular verbs in Kannada have unique conjugations in the past tense. Let's look at some examples:


There are some verbs in Kannada that do not follow the regular pattern in the past tense. These verbs have to be memorized separately. Here are some examples:
=== Example 1: To go (ಹೋಗು) ===
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ಹೊರಟುಹೋಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ || horatu hōgidde ne || left
| ಹೋದೆನು || Hodenu || I went
|-
| ಹೋದೆ || Hode || You (singular) went
|-
| ಹೋದ || Hoda || He/She went
|-
| ಹೋದೆವು || Hodevu || We went
|-
|-
| ಇರುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ || iruttide || was
| ಹೋದಿರಿ || Hodiri || You (plural) went
|-
|-
| ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದು ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ || kelasa kku bandu kuḷitukoṇḍide ne || worked (literally means "came to work and sat down")
| ಹೋದರು || Hodaru || They went
|}
|}


As you can see from these examples, irregular verbs have unique past tense forms that cannot be derived using the regular pattern.
=== Example 2: To come (ಬರು) ===
 
== Negation in the Past Tense ==
 
Negating verbs in the past tense is very simple in Kannada. To form the negative past tense, we simply add the word "ಇಲ್ಲವೇ (-illavē)" after the verb in the past tense form. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
! Kannada !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ಮಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲ || māḍallilla || did not do
| ಬಂದೆನು || Bandenu || I came
|-
| ಬಂದೆ || Bande || You (singular) came
|-
|-
| ಹೇಳಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ || hēḷirallilla || did not say
| ಬಂದ || Banda || He/She came
|-
|-
| ಬರೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ || bareyalilla || did not write
| ಬಂದೆವು || Bandevu || We came
|-
| ಬಂದಿರಿ || Bandiri || You (plural) came
|-
| ಬಂದರು || Bandaru || They came
|}
|}


== Conclusion ==
== Practice Phrases ==
To further enhance your understanding of the past tense in Kannada, let's practice with some common phrases. Try to translate these phrases into Kannada:
 
# I watched a movie.
# She cooked dinner.
# They played football.
# We visited a temple.
