INTRODUCTION

This is a self-instructional material prepared to develop

speaking, reading and writing skills. This is intended for adult

English Learners from different mother-tongue backgrounds, who

wants to learn Kannada for various reasons.

It is hoped that this self instructional material would enable

the learner to construct orally the basic sentences with the help of

given patterns and lexical items. This would also enable the learner

to converse with the native speakers in given situation with the help

of conversations framed. The book also takes care of the skills of

reading and writing.

An attempt has been made here to present the material as

systematically as possible. The language and the situations used to

follow the principle of selection and gradation which is the modern

practice the world over. The lessons show development from the

simple to the complex and from the known to the unknown.

Provision has been made for reinforcement of the language habits

through conversation and narration. The language structures

introduced here are found in informal spoken contexts and their

description in the text are pedagogically oriented.

The book contains two parts. Part I deals with graded

language structuring and Part II deals with the script.

Part I contains 25 lessons. These lessons are structurally

graded. The language used in these lessons is standard spoken

Kannada. The Bangalore - Mysore dialect of Kannada is generally

accepted as the standard spoken Kannada. However one can see

certain changes at phonological level, like dropping of the vowel in

the second syllable in the spoken form. One can find occassional

overlapping of formal and informal usage in this book.

Each basic lesson contains five components, namely,

conversation/narration, pattern drill, key to learners, exercise and

vocabulary.

Each lesson is a running conversation/narration written on a

specific situation with appropriate structure and vocabulary. The

purpose of having a majority of the lesson in the form of

conversation is that it forms the 'stimulus-reponse pattern' in the

learners. The dialogue form of the book facilitates participation by

the learners with interchanging roles. However the last four lessons

are narrations; they can be used as reading texts. The content of the

lessons include day to day social contexts and cultural information

about Karnataka. The first ten lessons are given in Roman

transliteration. A key to sound transcription is given in the begining

of the book. The tenth lesson onwords, lessons are given in

Kannada Script. It is assumed by the time the learner completes the

structure of first ten lessons that he would also have learnt the

recognition of letters in isolation and in combination. the translation

of text and pattern drill is given in English. (while the translations

are largely idiomatically acceptable, the exigencies of instructions

may have here and there resulted in slightly deviant English

constructions).

Pattern drills and exercises are meant for reinforcement of the

structures introduced in the lesson. Generally a distinction is made

between drills and exercises on the lines of their nature. The drills

aim at establishing the structure as habit. In other words they

VI/Introduction

establish automatic response through intensive practice. Besides

this they are also helpful in knowing the syntactic relationship

among the related structures.

In a true sense exercises are an application activity, No new

structure is given under exercise. The learner is expected to apply

the structure learnt in the lesson to test his competence.

The vocabulary contains the newly introduced in the text as

well as in the drill part under two headings, namely, vocabulary and

supplementary vocabulary. Vocabulary is listed in an alphabetical

order.

The key to the learner gives a brief explanation of the structure

or pattern introduced in the lesson. To a great extent extensive use

of linguistic terminology is avoided. Necessary examples and

sandhi rules are also given.

Part II contains the introduction of the Kannada alphabet. The

letters have been introduced on their shape similarity and

contrastive perception. This would enable the learner to recognise

the letters in isolation and in combination as quickly as possible.

The combination of consonants and vowels are also introduced on

their shape similarity. The sound value in Roman script is also

given along with the primary letters in order to enable the learner to

identify the target language sounds. It is expected that the learner

should start learning speaking, reading and writing side by side.

The explanation given above is only a guide line. The actual

learning lies with the learner's motivation and requirement.

Language learning should'nt be taken as a sole activity, but rather as

an enjoyable game. Each structure and each vocabulary item is to be

treated as an interesting toy in the hands of the learner. The learner

Introduction /VII

should always approach them with an open mind. Aslo one should

be very conscious and alert about his/her surroundings and the

people. One can learn the language while talking in it without

inhibitions. Talk to the people. If they laugh at your pronunciation,

wrong construction of sentences join them and laugh with them.

But don't be disheartened. While laughing with them try to know

the correct form with the help of the book and with the help of the

native speakers.

I acknowledge my grateful thanks to Prof. Baragur

Ramachandrappa, and Sri Idinabba former Chairmans, Kannada

Development Authority Govt. of Karnataka, who are chiefly

responsible for re-printing this book. They have also got it

translated into other languages knowing its importance in the

development of Kannada language. I am equally grateful to the

translators of this book into different languages. My sincere thanks

to Secretary, Kannada Development Authority for his keen interest

in executing this work.

I hope that this self instructional material will be helpful in

your endeavour.

3. Key to learners :

3.1 idu 'this' third person (neut. sg. prox.)

adu 'that' third person (neut. sg. rem.)

are introduced. These pronouns are used to denote all

non-human nouns.


idu kurchi This is a Chair

adu mara That is a tree

3.2 The neuter pronouns are extended by adding possessive

marker - a

adu + a = adara 'its' (rem.)

idu + a = idara 'its' (prox.)

Note that the additional of - ar - when the above neuter

pronouns are used as possessive forms.

3.3 yes / no type of interrogation is obtained by adding - aa

to the nouns. Note the combination

3.3.1 kaadambari + aa = kaadambariinaa (kaadambariyaa)

mane + aa = maaneenaa (maneyaa)

site + aa = siiteenaa (siiteyaa)

3.3.2 pennu + aa = pennaa (pennaa)

avaru + aa = avaraa (avaraa)

3.3.3 maga + aa = magaanaa (maganaa)

raama + aa = raamaanaa (raamanaa)

Kamala + aa = kamalaanaa (kamalaLaa)

Whenever = aa is added, the last vowel of the noun

becomes long and it takes - n - as an addition in spoken

form. The forms in the paranthesis represent the standard

written form.

3.4 havdu 'yes' is an affirmitive answer to question. alla 'no'

is negation. Note that we can also make questions using

havdu and alla as havdaa ? and alvaa ?

3.5 niinu 'you' : second person (sg.)

ivanu 'he' : third person (mas. sg. prox.)


avanu 'he' : third person (mas. sg. rem.)

ivaLu 'She' : third person (fem. sg. prox.)

avaLu 'She' : third person (fem. sg. rem.)

are introduced. aata, iita, aake, iike are also used as

substitutes for avanu, ivanu, avaLu, ivaLu

3.6 The above pronouns are further extended by adding -

a Possessive marker.

niinu + a = ninna 'your'

ivanu + a = ivana 'his'

avanu + a = avana 'his'

ivaLu + a = ivaLa 'her'

avaLu + a = avaLa 'her'

3.7 - appa is an addressive term used to address men who

are strangers, intimates and subordinates. Femi - nine

counterpart of this term is - amma

3.8 aa 'that' and ii 'this' are demonstrative adjectives. Note

the difference between these adjectives and neut.

pronouns.

3.1 Note the predicative forms in Kannada

3.1.1 Noun predicatives : They are formed by adding the third

person neut. pronouns - adu, - avu to the possessive nouns

raamana + adu = raamanadu

raamana + avu = raamanavu

note the deletion of - a

3.1.2 Pronoun predicatives : They are obtained by the addition

of third person pronouns (either human or non-human) to

the possessive pronouns.

nanna + avanu = nannavanu

nanna + avaLu = nannavaLu

nanna + avu = nannavu

adara + adu = adaradu

idara + adu = idaradu

3.1.3 Adjectival predicatives : They are obtained by adding

third person pronouns (either human or non-human) to

the adjectives.

doDDa + avanu = doDDavanu

chikka + avaLu = cikkavaLu

oLLeya + avaru = oLLeyavaru

keTTa + adu = keTTadu

keTTA + avu = keTTavu

observe that these predicative forms can never be used before

nouns. (However they, can also be used as subjects of sentences

like nannadu haLeya mane)

The possessive forms of the human nouns are used in the rare

context. Whereas the neuter nouns are used frequently to

express the possession. Whenever the predicative form is used

the denotative adjective is used. Observe the following

sentences.


IvaLu nanna magaLu 'She is my daughter'

ii magu nannadu 'She is my child'

idu nanna mane 'This is my house'

ii mane nannadu 'This house is mine'

3.2 When the interrogative marker - aa is added to

predicative form, final - u drops

hosadu + aa = hosadaa

3.3 -alli is the locative case marker, which denotes the

location

mane + alli = maneyalli 'in the house'

bengaLuuru + alli = bengaLuurinalli 'in Bangalore

The changes are the same as in possessive form, when

added to different types of nouns (ref. L. No. 3)

3.4 Post position like

munde 'in front of'

hinde 'behind'

bala pakka 'right side'

eDa pakka 'left side'

meele 'above'

keLage 'below'

are also location denoters. Observe that these post positions

always follow nouns.

maneya munde 'in front of the house'

meejina meele 'on the table'

Where as in English they always precede.

3.5 Note that by adding - aadaruu to

elli 'where'

yaaru 'who'

eenu 'what'

yaake 'why'

heege 'how

the following forms are obtained.

elliyaadaruu 'somewhere/any where'

yaaraadaruu 'some one'

eenaadaruu 'something'

yaakaadaruu 'for some reason'

heegaadaruu 'somehow'

3.6 ide means 'to be' used to denote to the existence of neuter

noun. The corresponding negation for ide is illa

The use of dative marker is as follows

3.1.1 -- (i) ge

3.1.1.1 --u ending neuter nouns, - a ending human nouns

and third person human Pronouns take - ige as

dative

kaaleeju + ige = kaaleejige 'to the college'

uuru + ige = uurige 'to the native place'

bassu + ige = bassige 'to the bus'

raama + ige = raamanige 'to Rama'

tamma + ige = tammanige 'to younger brother'

sarasa + ige = sarasanige 'to Sarasa'

avanu + ige = avanige 'to him'

avaLu + ige = avaLige 'to her'

avaru + ige = avarige 'to them'

3.1.1.2 All categories of nouns ending in - i and - e take -ge as

dative

sumati + ge = Sumatige 'to Sumati'

raadhe + ge = raadhege 'to Radha'

mane + ge = manege 'to house'

naayi + ge = naayige 'to dog'

tarkaari + ge = tarkaarige 'to vegetable'


3.1.2 First and second person pronouns take - age as dative

nannu + age = nanage 'to me'

naavu + age = namage 'to us'

niinu + age = ninage 'to you' (sg)

niivu + age = nimage 'to you' (pl. + hon.)

3.1.3 Neuter nouns ending in - a, third person neuter pronouns

and numerals take - akke as dative

mara + akke = marakke 'to tree'

kaagadda + akke = kaagadakke 'to the paper'

adu + akke = adakke 'to that'

ondu + akke = ondakke 'to one'

nuuru + akke = nuurakke 'to one hundred'

3.2 Numerals are introduced

ondu 'one' aaru 'six'

eraDu 'two' eeLu 'seven'

muuru 'three' enTu 'eight'

naalku 'four' ombattu 'nine'

aydu 'five' hattu 'ten'

are basic numerals.

These numerals can be further developed by addition and

multiplication.

hattu + ondu = hannondu 'eleven'

hattu + eraDu = hanneraDu 'twelve'

hattu + mooru = hadimuuru 'thirteen'

hattu + naalku = hadinaalku 'fourteen'


hattu + aydu = hadinaydu 'fifteen'

hattu + aaru = hadinaaru 'sixteen'

hattu + eeLu = hadineeLu 'seventeen'

hattu + enTu = hadineNtu 'eighteen'

hattu + ombattu = hattombattu 'ninteen'

hattu + hattu = ippattu 'twenty'

Note that the numerals from eleven to nineteen (as in english !)

have slightly irregular forms and as in English again numerals

from twenty onwards are expressed as multiples of ten plus

basic numerals.

ippattu + ondu = ippattondu 'twenty one'

ippattu + eraDu = ippatteraDu 'twenty two'

every multiple of ten is expressed by adding the word for ten to a

basic number.

muuru x hattu = muuvattu 'thirty'

naalku x hattu = nalvattu 'forty'

aydu x hattu = ayvattu 'fifty'

aaru x hattu = aravattu 'sixty'

eeLu x hattu = eppattu 'seventy'

enTu x hattu = embattu 'eighty'

ombattu x hattu = tombattu 'ninety'

hattu x hattu = nuuru 'hundred'

number above hundred can be similarly derived.

nuura ondu 'hundred and one'

nuura hattu 'hundred and ten'

The possessive marker - a is added to the first numeral.

Observe the following examples.

aydu nuura hattu 'five hundred and ten'

ondu saavirada eraDu 'one thousand two'

3.3 beeku 'want' and its corresponding negation beeda 'do

not want' are also introduced. Note that beeku and beeda

are always obligatorily used with dative subject.

nanage kaafi beeku 'I want coffee'

raajanige niiru beeDa 'Raju doesn't want water'

3.4 eshTu 'how much' is a quantitative interrogative word

(either adjective or pronoun). It covers both 'how many'

and 'how much'

3. Key to Learners :

3.1 The basic numerals are further extended by adding -

aneya anee, resulting the numeral adjectives

ondu + aney = ondaneya 'first'

hattu + aneya = hattaneya 'tenth'

nuuru + aneya = nuuraneya 'hundredth'

eshTu also takes aneya /anee and forms the corresponding

ordinal interrogation

eshTu + aneya = eshTaneya

anee is the colloquial form of aneya

3.2 The plural markers are introduced. There are three plural

markers -andiru, - aru and - gaLu

3.2.1 - andiru is used with relative nouns ending with - a.

anna + andiru = annandiru 'elder brothers'

bhaava + andiru = bhaavandiru 'brothers - in - law'

akka + andiru = akkandiru 'elder sisters'

3.2.2 -aru is used with other human nouns

adhyaapaka + aru = adhyaapakaru 'teachers'

vidyarthini + aru = vidyaarthiniyaru 'girl students'

soase + aru = soseyaru 'daughters - in - law'

3.2.3 -gaLu is used with other neuter nouns

mara + gaLu = maragaLu 'trees'

kurci + gaLu = kurcigaLu 'chairs'

dina + gaLu = dinagaLu 'days'

varsha + gaLu = varshagaLu 'years'

hasu + gaLu = hasugaLu 'cows'

There are few human nouns which take - gaLu as plural marker.

But they are exceptional cases.

manti + gaLu = mantrigaLu 'ministers'

guru + gaLu = gurugaLu 'teachers'

vidyaarthi + gaLu = vidyaarthigaLu 'students'

3.3 naavu 'we' first person plural pronoun

3.4 Note, how the basic numerals change into human

numerals before a human noun

adu ondu mara 'that is a tree'

avanu obba huDuga 'He is a boy'


in the same way

eraDu > ibbaru 'two persons'

muuru > muuvaru 'three persons'

naalku > naalvaru 'four persons'

aydu > ayvaru 'five persons'

- aru is not added after five. But from three onwards jana

'person' is the frequent use. Thus the form is,

muuru jana 'three members'

hattu jana 'ten members'

nuuru jana 'hundred members'

jana is also used with eshTu

3.5 Note the use of numerals above thousand

ondu saavirad nuura hattu

'one thousand hundred and ten'

Here saavira takes the possessive marker - a and when

nuuru is followed by any numeral, the form used is

nuura

nuura enTu 'hundred and eight'

saavirada ombynuura nalavatteeLu

'One thousand nine hundred and forty seven'

3.6 Srii raama eshTaneya maga ?

The literal translation of the above question is not

possible in English. It is a question which anticipates an

answer in the forms of an ordinal such as first, second,

etc. It can only be translated as non-existent English

form ' How manyth ?

3.1 The verb iru 'to be' introduced in this lesson. iru plays in

important role as a main verb as well as an auxillary verb.

iru verb has two bases in Kannada. They are id - and - ir

id - is used as definite construction, whereas ir - used as

indefinite or habitual construction.

nanna sneeita maneyalli idaane

In this sentence, the friend's presence at home is definite

nanna sneehite madhyanha maneyalli irtaaLe

Here irtaaLe is used as an indefinite construction with

future proposition. This can also be used as habitual as in

the following sentence.

avaLu dinaa naalku gaNTege laybrariyalli irtaaLe

3.1.1 When id - the difinite form is used, it won't take my tense

marker. This will be straightaway added to the personal

marker

The paradigm is given below :

naanu id - iini naavu id-iivi

niinu id-iiye niivu id-iiri

avanu id-aane

avaLu id-aaLe avaru id-aare

adu id-e avu iv-e

3.1.2 Whereas ir - will be first added to -t- which is non past

tense marker, then added to personal marker. Thus

obtaining the forms

naanu ir-t-iini naavu ir-t-iivi

niinu ir-t-iiye niivu ir-t-iiri

avanu ir-t-aane

avaLu ir-t-aaLe avaru ir-t-aare

adu iru-tt-e avu iru-t-ve/ir-t-aave

Note that in the third person neut. sg. - t - is doubled

3.1.3 illa and iralla are the corresponding negative forms of

id- and ir - respectively

There is no person, number or gender distinction made

in the negative construction.


3.2 alli is the locative case marker which denotes location.

The changes are of the same of possessive case when

added to the nouns.
