1In Class 12 Kannada grammar (ವ್ಯಾಕರಣ), what does ಸಂಧಿ (sandhi) primarily describe?
A.Joining of sounds/letters at word boundaries with possible change
B.Dividing a sentence into subject and predicate only
C.Translating a Kannada sentence into English only
D.Counting mātras in a poetic line only
Explanation: Sandhi is the joining of two sounds or letters at a word boundary, often with phonetic change (e.g. ದೇವ + ಇಂದ್ರ → ದೇವೇಂದ್ರ). It is core HSC Kannada vyākaraṇa.
2Which option correctly illustrates a ಸಮಾಸ (samāsa) compound?
A.ರಾಮನು ಬರುತ್ತಾನೆ
B.ರಾಜಪುತ್ರ (king’s son formed as one compound word)
C.ಅವನು ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ
D.ನೀವು ಬರುವಿರಾ?
Explanation: Samāsa combines two or more words into one compound (ರಾಜ + ಪುತ್ರ → ರಾಜಪುತ್ರ). Full sentences are not samāsa compounds.
3ವಿಭಕ್ತಿ (vibhakti) in Kannada grammar primarily marks:
A.Only the rhyme scheme of a poem
B.Only the author’s biography
C.Case endings that show a noun/pronoun’s relation in the sentence
D.Only sandhi type
Explanation: Vibhakti are case endings (e.g. -ಅನು, -ಇಗೆ, -ಇಂದ) that show grammatical relation of nouns/pronouns (kartṛ, karma, karaṇa, and related).
4ಲಿಂಗ (liṅga) classification in Kannada traditionally includes which three genders?
A.Only singular and plural
B.Only past and present tense
C.Only first and second person
D.ಪುಲ್ಲಿಂಗ, ಸ್ತ್ರೀಲಿಂಗ, ನಪುಂಸಕಲಿಂಗ (masculine, feminine, neuter)
Explanation: Liṅga is grammatical gender: masculine (ಪುಲ್ಲಿಂಗ), feminine (ಸ್ತ್ರೀಲಿಂಗ), and neuter (ನಪುಂಸಕಲಿಂಗ).
5ವಚನ (vachana) in Kannada grammar refers to:
A.Number: singular (ಏಕವಚನ) and plural (ಬಹುವಚನ)
B.Only figures of speech
C.Only the title of a prose lesson
D.Only synonym pairs
Explanation: Vachana is grammatical number — typically singular (ಏಕವಚನ) vs plural (ಬಹುವಚನ) — and affects agreement with verbs and adjectives. (Do not confuse with the Vachana literary tradition.)
6ಕಾಲಪ್ರಯೋಗ (kāla-prayōga) primarily concerns:
A.Letter-format margins only
B.Correct use of tense and verb forms for time/aspect
C.Only the meaning of proverbs
D.Only identifying the author of a poem
Explanation: Kāla-prayōga is the correct application of tense and verb forms (past, present, future, and related aspects) in Kannada sentences.
7Which sandhi result is most consistent with ಸ್ವರಸಂಧಿ (vowel sandhi) principles?
A.ರಾಮ + ಅಯನ → ರಾಮಯನ (as if no vowel change were ever needed)
B.ಸಂಧಿ never involves vowels
C.ಮಹಾ + ಇಂದ್ರ → ಮಹೇಂದ್ರ (ā + i → ē type join)
D.Only punctuation can fuse words
Explanation: In svara-sandhi, adjoining vowels often fuse or change (classic pattern: ಮಹಾ + ಇಂದ್ರ → ಮಹೇಂದ್ರ). Exact school examples vary; the principle is vowel-boundary change.
8ವ್ಯಂಜನಸಂಧಿ (consonant sandhi) mainly deals with:
A.Only punctuation marks
B.Only essay titles
C.Only English loanwords
D.Changes when a consonant meets another sound at a join
Explanation: Vyanjana-sandhi covers phonological changes when consonants meet at word/morpheme boundaries.
9ತತ್ಪುರುಷ ಸಮಾಸ is best described as a compound where:
A.The first member generally depends on the second (e.g. relation of ownership/purpose)
B.Both members are always pure adjectives only
C.There is never any semantic relation between members
D.It is identical to a full finite sentence
Explanation: In tatpurusha samāsa, the first member is typically subordinate to the second (e.g. ರಾಜಪುತ್ರ — son of the king).
10ದ್ವಂದ್ವ ಸಮಾಸ typically joins members that are:
A.In a purely hierarchical master–servant relation only
B.Coordinated equals often joined by an ‘and’ sense (e.g. ರಾಮಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣರು)
C.Always meaningless syllables
D.Only foreign names without meaning
Explanation: Dvandva compounds coordinate members of equal status, often with an additive ‘and’ meaning (ರಾಮ + ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ → ರಾಮಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣರು).
