LEARN TAMIL - 05 " PRESENT TENSE " & " CONJUGATION"

[@ashisdas5785]

This is the perfect video for learning Tamil.I have a good knowledge in English grammar so I was searching for a video that gives me technical knowledge of Tamil grammar.The illustration method is very convenient.Finally I have been able to clarify my concept about subject verb conjugation in Tamil. Thank you sir . Please also upload a video on how to form question and negative foms of these examples given in the video.

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

Thank you Mr Ashis . I am glad you found it useful. I have already made 90 + videos and hoping to make sure that by 150 videos, I cover all the basic to intermediate level so a learner will feel free to improve on his own. I have made it in a way that a learner need not sweat to learn . Learning shoudl be enjoyable. Here is the list kzbin.info/door/htG627ZQrsKH8fM6E-_8hQ

[@sheiladesai]

Best way of explaining the verbs. Thanks a lot. I teach French. In French it's always about conjugation. I had to explain to my students about conjugations and that it is present in every language. This video is exactly what I was searching to make them understand better. 🙏🙏🙏

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

ah bon ..you must be speaking French enough well? That is good. I speak French and I have lived in France for some years . What is your mother tongue ? Yes , we have to take parallel from many langauges to teach . English may not have that all.

This is an absolute gem.

[@lalanifaure744]

I have just started to learn Tamil, I found it very interesting, but the books that I have are about 10 years old(edition) so it is bit different to what I gather from your course. Your explainations are very clear and easy to follow.Thank you

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

Thank you Lahani for your comments. The books can be limited , because it cannot explain by sounds and cannot further explain because of their limitations of pages. That is the reason why I try to explain as much as possible. And I use a very neutral and standard Thamizh so it sounds very easily understandable by everyone , and it is more of day to day conversation. If there is any more explanation you would need for anything , feel free to ask in the comment and I shall answer. And certainly , it is not a very difficult language, it just requires a slightly different approach of learning and teaching. I am sure one can get a decent aquintance of the language in a matter of 5 months . you could checkall my lessons under the youtube search " learn and speak tamil like a native"

[@pamelabhattacharya7883]

My mother tongue is Bengali and I am quite fluent in Hindi as well but dravidian languages seem really intriguing and fascinating to me. I've learnt Telugu recently and it's really a life changing experience for me. It has expanded my horizon and opened new possibilities for me I never knew existed. Watching Tollywood movies without subtitles is a bonus. All I can say is my interest in exploring dravidian languages has grown even more. I'm aspiring to learn Tamil next and I think I've found a channel that fits my needs perfectly! Thank you so much for pouring your heart and soul in making these videos, for making Tamil learning a blissful experience for all of us. Finally, I wanted to know how many languages you can speak (Just curious!) ☺

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

Yes indeed . Understanding a language expands our horizon. It is fascinating. Most of the time I learnt languages without effort as I feel that stressing can make language learning boring and hard. Something need not work first time, but I don't stress. I let mistakes happen . Tamil is not a difficult language as it is touted to be. I speak Tamil , Hindi , English , French and German . And a decent level of Malayalam and Kannada. But I learnt it gradually but in a short time frame.. esp the foreign languages. Best wishes, Pamela

@@LEARNTAMIL1 Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions. I'll keep those in mind. Haven't you ever tried learning Telugu and Bengali? Btw, how much time it took you on average to get hold of a new language?

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

@@pamelabhattacharya7883 Yes , I wish to learn Bengali . It is a language close to my heart for many reasons. Telugu I can understand and I could speak to some extent when I was young. I lost in touch as my Telugu friends moved away . I do not wish to spend more than 6 months to get to a intermediate to advanced level if it is any other Indian languages . It is easier from Indian language to other indian lang. German took quite a bit of time. 2 years almost. I am not a linguist . I am in Scientific research . Therefore I try always not to strain .

[@pulkeshbanerjee5080]

Romba nandri, do you also have a video on present continuous tense as well?

[@neeleshkushte6023]

Since my mother tongue is Marathi, I find that, for the sake of better understanding, if I translate my doubts in Marathi rather than in English, Tamil learning gets a lot better. After all, even though the language is different, the rules of Indian languages remain quite similar than that of English.😀

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

That is very true Neelesh . And that is the reason why any of the Indian language speaker can learn Tamil or any other Indian languages much easier than a French or a Chinese native. Also have you noticed that the sounds or consonants are also clearer in a typical way in all the Indian langauges. The the other groups of languages have different consonant music or sound

[@neeleshkushte6023]

@@LEARNTAMIL1 yes. Especially ழ.‌ In Marathi, this is ळ. Hence, learning Indian languages for Indians in more easier. However, I feel saddened by the fact that people chose to learn French, German etc more than they do Indian languages other than their mother tongue.

[@anonymcomment5864]

Mini question about the spelling of "to eat", "to see" and "to walk" in the oral language: from the spelling in the tamlizh alphabet, shouldn't we transcript it in "saappidaradhu", "paakkaradhu" and "nadakkaradhu" ? Is it to simplify that we can omit/change as we cant' hear the difference ? Thanks again for this perfect video to learn present and infinitive !

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

Actually it is very difficult to frame the infinitive form in Tamil as it is very irregular. Hence " saapidaradhu" " paakkaradhu " are all similar to verbal noun in Thamizh and it can be helpful to conjugate a verb. All my lessons are oral or spoken language except I mention it otherwise. You can however check a lesson that I have made about infinitive verbs.

I understand tamil perfectly and can read quite well, but I struggle with speaking. Any advice? Thanks.

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

If you are watching the videos try to repeat it . The words and sounds have to register in your mind a few times so it automatically comes out , without a translation going on in your head everytime. Watch some movies. And try repeating it in the same tone and accent. Best of luck .

[@gastonmartinez6316]

Hello!! I wanted to thank you for your material. It's really inspiring me to learn this, at first glance, difficult language. I love Tamil evergreen music and therefore have always wanted to learn a little. Question though: I've heard Tamil is quite irregular and that for the pronoun தான் for example, there are 3 endings: றேன் (the one shown here), டேன் and தேன் and this video makes it look quite regular. Is it maybe regular on the spoken form but not in the written form? Could you please clarify this?? Nanri from Argentina

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

Hello Gaston .. Good morning from India. I guess you are an advanced level learner to go that level I do not quite understand what you . But let me explain . தான் is not a pronoun .. it is a reflexive pronoun for any pronoun. if you are askign . Besides , both the spoken and written are quite proper . I do not understand what you mean by regular here ... do you mean regular verb or irregular verb.. If you are asking about organized ... both are in its own way and well connected. Certainly keep in touch . But ... Tamil a different language is a cliche ... it is a very easy langauge.... I have heard many saying after learning it . I am trying to break the myth. Please could you ask it a bit more clearly I will sure reply . Thank you Gaston .

[@gastonmartinez6316]

@@LEARNTAMIL1 No, please don't get me wrong. I'm happy I found your channel because of all the information you offer and this video is no exception. I was scared of verbs before but you helped me understand. My doubt is that I had watched another video where the girl says there are many exceptions in the verb conjugation and she said that for the 1st person singular, there are those 3 options and no clear rule so you have to learn the conjugation in particular for each new verb you learn. So my question is: can you always conjugate நான் with றேன் ending? I suggested that maybe the written form is conjugated with those 3 forms, officially but when talking, people simplified it with just 1 ending? Hope I made myself clear now I hope I get far with this beautiful language

[@LEARNTAMIL1]

@@gastonmartinez6316 Firstly , please feel free to ask anything about the language. I did not mistake you at all. There is a lot of limitation in writing and it sometimes shows a wrong tone. I am glad you are asking . If you are asking about the றேன் ending , it is present imperfect ( can be also used for near future and willingness as in English ) . So there is no other way for it . such as pOrE.n saapidarE.n ezhudharE.n May be she is meaning other tenses like continuous, perfect , etc... I am trying to understand my own language through the prism of other languages like French , German and English which I also speak. It gives a different dimension .. and explaining becomes easier. I am trying to make it in such a way that a language learning should not be more than a year. There is nothing more than that to learn . Then it is all one's experience and ones own self assimilation. I emphasize in my videos. As far as Tamil , it is a structured language.. Learning is quite simple. It is one of the oldest language that has evolved over 5000 years. So it is rich too. I would like to make more videos , but my tech knowledge is limited. hence I am going slow. please ask a question whenever you want , but I insist don't learn a language forever, it could be boring . Just one year and start experiencing it. What is your native tongue by the by Gaston?
