Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Pronouns are an essential part of the Tamil language. They are used to replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition. In Tamil, there are several types of pronouns, such as personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and interrogative pronouns.
Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Personal pronouns are used to refer to a specific person or group of people. In Tamil, personal pronouns change depending on the gender and the number of people being referred to. Here is a table with the personal pronouns in Tamil:
| Tamil | Pronunciation | Finnish |
|---|---|---|
| நான் | nāṉ | minä |
| நீ | nī | sinä |
| அவன் | avan | hän (miehestä) |
| அவள் | aval | hän (naisesta) |
| அவர் | avar | he (miehistä) |
| அவர்கள் | avarkaḷ | he (miehistä, monikko) |
| அவள்கள் | avaḷkaḷ | he (naisista, monikko) |
Demonstrative Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Demonstrative pronouns are used to point to specific things or people. In Tamil, there are two types of demonstrative pronouns: இது (ithu) which means "this" and அது (athu) which means "that". Here is a table with the demonstrative pronouns in Tamil:
| Tamil | Pronunciation | Finnish |
|---|---|---|
| இந்த | indha | tämä |
| அந்த | antha | tuo |
Interrogative Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. In Tamil, the interrogative pronouns are என்ன (enna) which means "what" and யார் (yār) which means "who". Here is a table with the interrogative pronouns in Tamil:
| Tamil | Pronunciation | Finnish |
|---|---|---|
| என்ன | enna | mitä |
| யார் | yār | kuka |
Nouns[edit | edit source]
Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. In Tamil, every noun has a gender (masculine or feminine) and a number (singular or plural).
Gender[edit | edit source]
In Tamil, the gender of a noun is not always related to the biological gender of the object. For example, inanimate objects can have a gender. Here are some common gender endings in Tamil:
- Masculine: -ன் (-an), -க்காரன் (-kkāran), -க்குமான் (-kkumān)
- Feminine: -ள் (-aḷ), -க்குமளி (-kkumaḷi), -க்காரி (-kkāri)
Number[edit | edit source]
In Tamil, to make a noun plural, you need to add the suffix -கள் (-kaḷ) to the end of the word. Here are some examples:
- மாடு (māṭu) - cow, மாடுகள் (māṭukaḷ) - cows
- பூ (pū) - flower, பூக்கள் (pūkkaḷ) - flowers
- வீடு (vīṭu) - house, வீடுகள் (vīṭukaḷ) - houses
Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership. In Tamil, they are formed by adding the suffix -ன் (-an) to the end of the noun. Here are some examples:
- என் மகன் (en maḵan) - my son
- உங்கள் காதலி (uṅkaḷ kātali) - your girlfriend
- அவன் பயணம் (avan payaṇam) - his journey
