USING PRE-MADE TAMIL SENTENCES, Part II
PLEASE THINK THIS, BEFORE YOU BEGIN
i. When you learn to make your own sentences, you know what you are doing. You know how
each word form is made and why the word is written that way. You will recognize this reality
when you try to learn Tamil through the pre-made sentences. If you learn Tamil through only
pre-made sentences, as usually done, you will be stabbing in the dark. You should use the pre-
made sentences only to improve your learning by studying them in the light of what you have
learned.
ii. If you know Sanskrit grammar, you may have figured out from the previous lessons that
Tamil grammar is based on similar style like Sanskrit, even though it is not as vast as Sanskrit.
If you want to see or learn Sanskrit grammar to any depth, you may like to use my “Learn
Sanskrit through English Medium.”
iii. If you know Hindi, you must have discovered by now that Tamil grammar is much more
deep, logical and systematic than the Hindi Grammar you learned in schools. In Hindi
grammar, the gender is single most important aspect but it is very arbitrary with no fixed rules,
the use of cases is mixed up and the tenses are violated too often. If you want to learn Hindi in
a systematic manner, you may like to use my book “Learn Hindi through English Medium,”
with properly laid out rules, noble truths, grammar dissection and unique tables.
iii. If you studied in English schools, you may have guessed that the English Grammar is too
brief, simple, cut and dry, as compared to the Tamil grammar. It is systematic like Tamil.
iv. The present book (Volume I) deals only with the very bsic primary level of the vast Tamil
grammar. For the use of Tamil Grammar at next level, and for the use of a fully transliterated
English-Tamil Dictionary, please see Volume II of this book.
v. Again, make sure you have studied and understood previous chapters properly, before going
ahead with this and the next lessons.
vi. The answers to the questions are provided in this book for your ‘help’ only. Please first see if
you can answer the questions by yourself, theu look at the answers just to verify your answers.
vii. In each exercise, the English transliteration and Hindi is given for your assistance only.
Please learn through the Tamil script. Use English and Hindi only wher you are in doubt.
