Nouns - Kannada Grammar

Nouns play a crucial role in the Kannada language as they are the building blocks of sentences. In Kannada grammar, nouns are known as “nama” and are classified into various categories based on their characteristics.

Firstly, nouns are categorized as either masculine or feminine, depending on the gender they represent. Masculine nouns are denoted by the suffix “-a” whereas feminine nouns end with “-e”. For example, “maga” (son) is masculine, and “tayi” (mother) is feminine.

Nouns in Kannada are also classified based on their number, either singular or plural. The plural form of a noun is usually formed by adding the suffix “-galu”. For instance, “pustaka” (book) becomes “pustakagalau” (books) in plural form.

Another significant aspect of noun theory is the classification based on cases. Kannada has seven cases – nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, instrumental, locative, and ablative. Each case determines the function and relation of nouns within a sentence.

Understanding noun theory is essential for learners to construct sentences correctly and convey accurate meaning in Kannada. Proper usage of nouns ensures effective communication and proficiency in the language.
