The Spoken Shortcut

If you find -uvenu too long, just use the present tense ending -teeni (e.g., maadteeni). It’s what 99% of people use in Bangalore.

Review Summary

  • Stem + uttēne
  • Subject + Verb-uvenu
  • Bahuvē + Verb
  • Verb + illa/bēḍa

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You must add the tense suffix; the root form is not enough for future tense.

Wrong: Nānu hōgu
सही: Nānu hōguttēne

Negation must be attached to the verb correctly.

Wrong: Nānu bahuvē hōguttēne illa
सही: Nānu bahuvē hōguvudilla

Word order is flexible, but keeping the subject first is safest.

Wrong: Nānu nāḷe hōguttēne
सही: Nānu nāḷe hōguttēne (Correct, but watch word order)

सामान्य प्रश्न (6)

The suffix depends on the subject (I, you, he, etc.). Use the conjugation table as a guide.
