Tamil has a strange verb சா To Die. The root is Saa, and the past tense is Seththaan செத்தான். It is the only verb that behaves in this way.
Though we have similar sounded words like
Kaa கா – guard, protect the past tense is Kaaththaan காத்தான்
Vaa வா – Come, the past tense is Vanthaan வந்தான்
Xxx
Another verb we learn today is Kaan- See.
We have Paar- See as well. In our day to day conversation, we use Paar-See more often.
Here are the conjugations
சா – செத்தான் Seththaan (he) died
வா- வந்தான் Vanthaan (he) came
கா – காத்தான் Kaaththaan (he) guarded, protected, saved
All the three verbs behave differently in the past tense.
காண் , பார் = See. Past tense is கண்டான் (Kandaan), பார்த்தான் (Paarththaan)
No other verb behaved like Saa = die
Xxxx
PAAR= See
One more lesson today INTERROGATIVE
You can change any verb as an Interrogative (question) by adding ஆ AA sound.
That is the second vowel in the 12 vowel table.
கண்டானா = கண்டான் + ஆ (ன் + ஆ=னா)
,பார்த்தானா = ,பார்த்தான் + ஆ (ன் + ஆ=னா)
வந்தானா = வந்தான் +ஆ (ன் + ஆ=னா)
சுவாமிநாதன் ஹெலிகாப்டரில் வந்தானா?
Did Swaminathan come in helicopter?
இல்லை. ஹெலிகாப்டரில் வரவில்லை
N0. Did not come in Helicopter
NOTE: there is no article the in Tamil sentence.
There is no by the helicopter; we use in helicopter
There is no HE; we can simply say Did not come in helicopter, because the last verb வந்தான் can go only with masculine third person singular. So PGN is important
Person = I person, II person, III person
Gender = Feminine or Masculine or Neuter
Number = Singular or Plural
