1Which of the following correctly describes the default basic word order of a declarative sentence in Punjabi?
A.Subject - Object - Verb (SOV)
B.Subject - Verb - Object (SVO)
C.Verb - Subject - Object (VSO)
D.Object - Subject - Verb (OSV)
Explanation: Punjabi is a canonical Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) language, where the verb typically appears at the end of the sentence following the subject and object.
2In Punjabi syntax, what primary grammatical function does the postposition 'nu' (ਨੂੰ) serve when attached to a noun?
A.Marks the ablative case indicating origin or source ('from')
B.Marks the definite direct object or indirect object/dative ('to/for')
C.Marks the ergative subject in past transitive sentences
D.Marks possessive relationship between two nouns
Explanation: The postposition 'nu' functions as the accusative marker for definite direct objects and as the dative marker for indirect objects ('to', 'for').
3Under what specific grammatical conditions is the ergative postposition 'ne' (ਨੇ) applied to the subject in Punjabi?
A.In future tense sentences with intransitive verbs
B.In present continuous sentences with any verb
C.In past tenses (perfective aspect) with transitive verbs
D.In imperative sentences directed at elders
Explanation: Punjabi exhibits split ergativity: the ergative postposition 'ne' is attached to the subject only in past/perfective tenses when the verb is transitive.
4What is the primary function and meaning of the Punjabi postposition 'ton' (ਤੋਂ)?
A.'In' or 'inside' (locative marker)
B.'On' or 'upon' (locative marker)
C.'With' or 'by means of' (instrumental marker)
D.'From' or 'than' (ablative marker indicating origin, separation, or comparison)
Explanation: 'Ton' is the ablative postposition indicating point of origin, separation ('from'), or baseline for comparative adjectives ('than').
5Which pair of postpositions translates to 'in' and 'on/at' respectively in Punjabi?
A.'vich' (ਵਿੱਚ) and 'te' (ਤੇ)
B.'ton' and 'nu'
C.'ne' and 'da'
D.'naal' and 'val'
Explanation: 'Vich' denotes locative interiority ('in/inside') while 'te' denotes surface location or point of contact ('on/at').
6How does the possessive postposition 'da' (ਦਾ) inflect in Punjabi?
A.It agrees with the gender, number, and case of the possessor.
B.It agrees with the gender, number, and case of the possessed object/noun.
C.It remains uninflected regardless of gender or number.
D.It agrees only with the tense of the main verb.
Explanation: In Punjabi, 'da' inflects (da, di, de, diyan) to agree with the grammatical gender, number, and case of the possessed item, not the possessor.
7When a masculine singular noun ending in '-a' (e.g., 'munda' / boy) is followed by a postposition like 'nu', how does the noun form change?
A.The noun ending changes from '-a' to '-iya'.
B.The noun ending remains unchanged ('munda nu').
C.The noun ending changes from '-a' to '-e' (oblique singular, e.g., 'munde nu').
D.The postposition fuses without modifying the stem.
Explanation: Masculine nouns ending in '-a' take the oblique singular form ending in '-e' whenever followed by any postposition.
8What is the correct oblique plural form of the masculine noun 'munda' (boy) when followed by the ergative marker 'ne'?
A.Munde ne
B.Mundiya ne
C.Munda ne
D.Mundeya ne
Explanation: The oblique plural of masculine '-a' nouns ends in '-eya' (e.g., 'mundeya ne' = 'by the boys').
9Which postpositions are used in Punjabi to indicate instrumental agency ('by means of' / 'with')?
A.'naal' (ਨਾਲ) or 'raahi' (ਰਾਹੀਂ)
B.'ton' or 'vich'
C.'nu' or 'ne'
D.'kol' or 'val'
Explanation: 'Naal' (with/alongside) and 'raahi' (through/by means of) mark instrumental case and agency.
10Compound spatial postpositions such as 'inside' (de andar) or 'before' (de pehlan) require which possessive link before the spatial noun?

B.'de' (ਦੇ)
C.'da'
D.'diyan'
