Yesterday we looked at the verb GO= PO in Tamil
Today we will look at SOL= Say or Tell in English
Both GO and SAY are irregular verbs in Tamil. They don’t follow the rules followed by other 7 Classes of Verbs. That is why we call them irregular verbs.

சொல் SOL
1.அவனிடம் சொல்லிவிட்டுப் போ =
Avandidam, Sollivittup Po
At him, say and go.
Avanidam= to him or on him (Locative)
Sollivittu = it is a compound verb with more meaning than SAY and GO.
VIITU is added to mean COMPLETE THE ACTION AND THEN GO TO THE NEXT ACTION.
Suppose I receive a telephone call while I am eating, then I will tell the person on the phone:
I am having dinner now SAPPITTU VITTU PHONE SEYKIREN= AFTER FINISHING EATING I WILL PHONE YOU. So the VITTU has more meaning.

2.நான் காலை 10 மணிக்கு விருந்து என்று சொல்லியிருக்கிறேன் =
Naan, Kaalai 10 Manikku, Vurundhu, Endru, Solliirukkiren = I have said the feast is at 10 O’Clock in the morning.
விருந்து= VIRUNDHU= Feast;
என்று = That
காலை = KAALAI = Morning.
xxxx
Two things must be noted here:
10 Manikku = it is equivalent to AT TEN O’clock in English; Like we add AT and O’Clock, Tamils add MANI + KKU with the specific hour , 1 to 12.
12 Mani+kku= At 12 O’clock
Second point is SOLLI+ IRUkkiren; this also a compound verb like SOLLI+ VITTU.
Here the meaning is HAVE or HAS.

3.நீ சொன்னால் அவன் வருவானா? =
Nee sonnaal, Avan , Varuvaanaa = If you say will he come?
Sonnaal சொன்னால்= If say= conditional
SONN=AAL = Sonnaal
PON+AAL = PONAAL = If go
VANTH +AAL = Vanthaal = IF come
PESIN+ AAL = PESINAAL = IF TALK or IF SPEAK
You add AAL with the PAST STEM SONN, PON, VANTH,PESIN.
First person Past tense for these verbs are SONNEN, PONEN,VANTHEN, PESINEN
Please use my Conjugation chart posted previously.

4.அவன் உண்மையைச் சொல்லவில்லை. அதுதான் பிரச்சினை.=
Avan Unmaiyaich, Sollavillai. Adhuthaan Prachchinai =
He did not or does not tell ( the) Truth. That is the problem.
சொல்லவில்லை.= does not say or did not say
உண்மை UNMAI= TRUTH. (with Accusative AI= Unmai+y+ai= Unmaiyai)
ADHUTHAAN = that only, only that, that indeed.
பிரச்சினை = Sanskrit word ( In Sanskrit the meaning is different)

கவலைப் படாதே.= don’t worry, need not worry.
கவலை = kavalai = worry.

xxxx
8.அவன் ஏன் நேற்றே சொல்லவில்லை? ==

9.ஒரே ஒருமுறைதான் சொல்வேன். நன்றாகக் கேள்.= Ore Our Murai Thaan, Solven, Nandraagak KEL == Ony once I tell ; Carefully , Listen.

Xxxx
10.உமாவிடம் போ. அவள் சொல்லுவாள்.= Ummavidam Po, Aval, Solluvaal=
