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 abstract idea. Maharashtra HSC Tamil (code 09) grammar regularly tests the four main word classes.
2Which traditional Tamil term names a verb?
A.வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol)
B.பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol)
C.உரிச்சொல் (uricchol)
D.இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol)
Explanation: வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol) is the verb class — words that express action, occurrence, or state. Recognising verb forms is central to tense and agreement items in HSC Tamil.
3In formal Tamil grammar, how many primary cases (வேற்றுமை) are traditionally counted?
A.Eight (எட்டு)
B.Six (ஆறு)
C.Five (ஐந்து)
D.Ten (பத்து)
Explanation: Classical Tamil grammar traditionally describes eight cases (எட்டு வேற்றுமைகள்): nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, locative, and vocative.
4Which வேற்றுமை marker typically signals the accusative (object) case in Tamil?
A.ஐ (ai)
B.ஆல் (āl)
C.கு (ku)
D.இல் (il)
Explanation: The accusative (second case) commonly uses the marker ஐ, as in புத்தகத்தை (the book — as object). Case markers are high-frequency short-answer and objective marks.
5The dative case (fourth வேற்றுமை) in Tamil is most characteristically marked by which ending?
A.கு (ku)
B.ஐ (ai)
C.உடைய (uṭaiya)
D.ஓ (ō)
Explanation: The dative case (to/for) uses கு, as in அவனுக்கு (to him). HSC Tamil tests recognition of case markers on nouns and pronouns.
6Which marker typically expresses the instrumental case (by/with) in Tamil?
A.ஆல் / ஆன் (āl / ān)
B.இல் (il)
C.கு (ku)
D.ஐ (ai)
Explanation: Instrumental (third case) uses ஆல்/ஆன், as in கத்தியால் (with a knife). Distinguishing instrumental from locative is a common exam trap.
7The locative case (seventh வேற்றுமை) commonly uses which marker?
A.இல் / இடம் (il / iṭam)
B.ஐ (ai)
C.ஆல் (āl)
D.கு (ku)
Explanation: Locative (in/at/on) commonly uses இல் or related forms (இடத்தில்), as in வீட்டில் (in the house).
8Which ending commonly marks the genitive (possessive) case in Tamil?
A.உடைய / இன் (uṭaiya / in)
B.ஐ (ai)
C.ஆல் (āl)
D.ஓ (ō)
Explanation: Genitive (sixth case) uses forms such as உடைய or இன், as in அவனுடைய புத்தகம் (his book).
9The vocative case (eighth வேற்றுமை) is primarily used for which function?
A.Direct address / calling someone
B.Marking the grammatical object
C.Showing possession
D.Indicating location
Explanation: Vocative addresses a person or entity directly (e.g., ராமா!, அம்மா!). It is not the object, possessive, or locative function.
10What does புணர்ச்சி (punarcci / sandhi) describe in Tamil grammar?
A.Sound changes when words or morphemes join
B.The eight case endings only
C.Only verb conjugation patterns
D.Only spelling of pure Tamil letters
Explanation: புணர்ச்சி is sandhi — phonological/morphological joining rules when words or word-parts combine (e.g., vowel or consonant changes at junctions). It is a core இலக்கணம் topic for HSC Tamil.
