As a Kannada language teacher for over 20 years, I know that learning verbs related to everyday actions can greatly help beginners grasp the language's foundation. In this lesson, you will learn common verbs related to daily activities such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and working.
Basic Verbs
Before we dive into everyday actions, it's essential to learn basic verbs such as 'to be,' 'to have,' 'to go,' and 'to do.' Here's a table of a few basic verbs to get you started:
Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
ಇದೆ (ide) | [ɪd̪ɛ] | to be (present tense) |
ಇಲ್ಲ (illa) | [ɪll̪ə] | to be (negative) |
ಹೇಳು (hēḷu) | [heːɭʊ] | to say/tell |
ಕೊಡು (koḍu) | [koɖʊ] | to give |
- Note: In Kannada, verbs have a root form, and they are conjugated based on tense, gender, and number.
Everyday Actions
Let's learn verbs related to everyday actions. Here are some common actions and their corresponding verbs in Kannada:
Kannada | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
ತಿನ್ನು (tinṇu) | [t̪ɪnːu] | to eat |
ಕುಡಿ (kuḍi) | [kuɖi] | to drink |
ಮಲಗು (malagu) | [məɭəgu] | to sleep |
ಹೊಸಗು (hosagu) | [ho̞səɡʊ] | to wake up |
ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡು (kelas maadu) | [keɭəs mɑːɖʊ] | to work |
ಬೋಧಿಸು (bōdhisu) | [boːd̪ʱisu] | to teach |
ಕೇಳು (kēḷu) | [keːɭʊ] | to listen |
Now you can try forming some simple sentences in Kannada with these verbs! For example, "ನಾನು ಊಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ" (Naanu uṭa maḍuttiddene) means "I am eating," and "ನಾನು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ" (Naanu kelas maḍuttēne) means "I am working."
Overall, learning everyday action verbs will help you understand and communicate in Kannada better. Stay tuned for more lessons in the “Complete 0 to A1 Kannada Course” to further develop your knowledge!
