Review Summary
- [Noun] + in/udaiya + melē
Häufige Fehler
You missed the genitive suffix. In Tamil, you need to connect the noun to the postposition with -in.
Postpositions in Tamil come *after* the noun, not before.
Ensure you are using the correct postposition for the physical location; 'ulle' means inside, 'mele' means on/above.
