Compound sentences in Tamil grammar, also known as ‘சித்த வாக்கியங்கள்’, are sentences that contain two or more independent clauses. These clauses are linked by conjunctions such as ‘மேலும்’ (and), ‘அல்லது’ (or), and ‘ஆனால்’ (but). This allows for the combination of related ideas into a single, complex sentence. Understanding and correctly utilizing compound sentences are integral for efficient communication and writing in Tamil.
