What are Nouns?
Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, animals, and ideas. In Kannada, nouns can be categorized into three types based on gender: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
Masculine Nouns
Masculine Nouns are words that represent males or masculine objects. Some examples of masculine nouns in Kannada are:
| Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ಅಣ್ಣ | aṇṇa | elder brother |
| ವೃತ್ತ | vṛtta | circle |
| ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿ | garbhiṇi | pregnant woman |
Feminine Nouns
Feminine Nouns are words that represent females or feminine objects. Some examples of feminine nouns in Kannada are:
| Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ಸೋದರಿ | sōdari | sister |
| ಗಿಡ | giḍa | plant |
| ಕೊಳಲು | koḷalu | cuckoo bird |
Neuter Nouns
Neuter Nouns are words that do not have a gender associated with them. Some examples of neuter nouns in Kannada are:
| Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ಮರ | mara | tree |
| ಕಡುಬು | kaḍubu | dumpling |
| ಗಾಳಿ | gāḷi | wind |
Plural Nouns
Plural Nouns are words that represent more than one person, place or thing. In Kannada, plural nouns can be formed by adding the suffix '-ಗಳು' (-gaḷu) or '-ಗಳಿ' (-gaḷi) to the end of the singular noun. The choice between '-ಗಳು' (-gaḷu) or '-ಗಳಿ' (-gaḷi) depends on the ending sound of the noun. For example:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| ಪೆನ್ | ಪೆನ್ಗಳು (pen + gaḷu) / ಪೆನ್ಗಳಿ (pen + gaḷi) |
| ಹುಲಿ | ಹುಲಿಗಳು (huli + gaḷu) / ಹುಲಿಗಳಿ (huli + gaḷi) |
Dialogue
- Person 1: ನನ್ನ ನೆರಳು ಓಡುತ್ತಿದೆ. (Nanna neraLu ōḍuttide.) (My shadow is running.)
- Person 2: ನೀವು ನನಗೆ ನೆರಳನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸಿದರೆ ನಾನು ಈಗ ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೇನೆಂದು ನೋಡಬಹುದು. (Nīvu nanage neraLannu tōrisidare nānu īga hēgididdenḍu nōḍabahudu.) (If you show me my shadow, I can see how I am currently doing.)
