1In traditional Tamil grammar (இலக்கணம்), which term names a noun?
A.பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol)
B.வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol)
C.இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol)
D.உரிச்சொல் (uricchol)
Explanation: பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol) is the traditional Tamil term for a noun — a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Kerala SSLC Tamil Basic Text foundational grammar frequently tests recognition of the four main word classes.
2Which Tamil grammar term names a verb?
A.பெயர்ச்சொல்
B.வினைச்சொல் (vinai / vinaichchol)
C.வேற்றுமை
D.புணர்ச்சி
Explanation: வினைச்சொல் (vinai / vinaichchol) is the verb class — words that express action, occurrence, or state and take tense, person, number, and gender marking in finite forms.
3இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol) in Tamil grammar primarily covers which kind of words?
A.Main nouns that name people and places
B.Main finite verbs only
C.Particles, postpositions, and connecting words that link other elements
D.Only pure poetic meters
Explanation: இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol) names the traditional class of intermediate/connecting words — particles, postpositions, and similar items that help relate other words rather than standing as main nouns or verbs.
4உரிச்சொல் (uricchol) traditionally groups words that mainly express:
A.Case endings only
B.Only finite past-tense verbs
C.Only personal pronouns
D.Quality, manner, or modifying force (adjective/adverb-like use)
Explanation: உரிச்சொல் covers quality/manner words. Classical Tamil does not separate adjectives and adverbs as strictly as English; both often fall under uricchol when they modify nouns or verbs.

A.கு (ku)
B.ஐ (ai)

A.Direct object only
B.Pure nominative subject marking
C.Dative relation (to/for a recipient or goal)
D.Only poetic rhyme
Explanation: நான்காம் வேற்றுமை (dative) uses கு and related forms to mark the recipient or goal — “to/for” relations (e.g., மாணவனுக்கு — to/for the student).
8புணர்ச்சி (punarcci) in Tamil grammar refers to:
A.Only English loanword spelling
B.Only verb tense names
C.Only essay paragraph count
D.Sound and letter changes when words join (sandhi / junction)
