One more Tamil verb Adai= reach, Get, Obtain

This Adai is similar to Kadai/Churn, Kudai/

 (but not Udai/break)

அடை– attain, reach, get, obtain ,

குடை– bore, make hole tunnel though

கடை– churn

மகிழ்– feel happy, enjoy,

புகழ்– glorify, praise

இகழ்– ridicule, deride

In noun forms they have different meanings; for instance அடை– lentil pancake, குடை– umbrella. கடை– shop

Some examples for Adai/ Kadai/ Kudai

அவன் காலையில் மதுரையை அடைந்தான்.

Avan kaalaiyil  mathuraiyai adainthaan

He- in the morning – Madurai+I – reached

He reached Madurai in the morning

அவள் ஓட்டப்பந்தயத்தில் வெற்றி அடைந்தாள்

Aval – ottap panthayaththil – vetri— adainthaal

She  – in the running race — victory – attained

Same sound; but different conjugation!

With Adai /அடை we have two different verbs. The second meaning is block something, detain/ imprison someone. That is conjugated differently; similar to Udai/ உடை break (We are not looking into it now)

xxxx Subham xxxxx tags- Tamil verbs, Adai, Kudai, Kadai
