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. Class 12 Tamil grammar regularly tests the four main word classes used in Samacheer Kalvi higher-secondary texts.
2Which Tamil grammar term names a verb?
A.வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol)
B.பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol)
C.இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol)
D.உரிச்சொல் (uricchol)
Explanation: வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol) is the traditional term for a verb — words that express action, occurrence, or state. Board grammar items often ask you to classify words from a sentence into the four primary classes.
3இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol) in school Tamil grammar primarily covers which kind of words?
A.Particles, postpositions, and connector-like function words
B.Only finite verbs marked for person
C.Only proper names of people and places
D.Only poetic metres used in Sangam verse
Explanation: இடைச்சொல் covers indeclinable/function-word material such as particles and postpositions that help relate other words. They are essential for case marking and sentence cohesion in Tamil.
4உரிச்சொல் (uricchol) is best described as:
A.A quality word that attributes property/manner (adjective/adverb-like function)
B.A finite verb agreeing with subject person only
C.A pure proper noun naming a person
D.A punctuation mark in Tamil script
Explanation: உரிச்சொல் words express quality, manner, or descriptive force and often modify nouns or verbs. School lists treat them as one of the four classical word classes.
5How many primary cases (வேற்றுமை) does classical Tamil grammar traditionally count?
A.Eight (எண் வேற்றுமை)
B.Two only
C.Twelve fixed cases identical to Latin
D.Zero — Tamil has no case system
Explanation: Traditional Tamil school grammar teaches eight vetrumai (வேற்றுமை). Students learn typical markers and the question each case answers (who/what, whom, by what, to/for, from, of, in/at, O vocative).
6Which case (வேற்றுமை) typically marks the direct object and is associated with the marker -ஐ?
A.Accusative (இரண்டாம் வேற்றுமை)
B.Nominative (முதல் வேற்றுமை)
C.Locative (ஏழாம் வேற்றுமை)
D.Vocative (எட்டாம் வேற்றுமை)
Explanation: இரண்டாம் வேற்றுமை (accusative) commonly uses -ஐ and marks the direct object of a transitive verb (e.g., புத்தகத்தைப் படித்தான்). Object identification is a frequent board-grammar skill.
7The dative case in Tamil (fourth case / நான்காம் வேற்றுமை), often marked by -க்கு / -க்கு, primarily expresses:
A.To/for relations (recipient, purpose, benefit)
B.Only physical location inside a container
C.Only the agent of a passive-like sentence
D.Only poetic rhyme schemes
Explanation: நான்காம் வேற்றுமை (dative) with markers such as -க்கு expresses ‘to/for’ relations: recipient, intended purpose, or benefit. Example pattern: அவனுக்குக் கொடுத்தேன்.
8புணர்ச்சி (punarcci) in Tamil grammar refers to:
A.Sandhi / morphophonemic joining changes when sounds meet at word or morpheme boundaries
B.Only the meaning of a single isolated letter
C.Only modern English loan-spelling rules
D.Only the title page of a textbook
Explanation: புணர்ச்சி (punarcci) is sandhi: systematic sound changes when forms join. Class 12 Tamil book-back exercises heavily test punarcci rules (e.g., mey-mey, uyir-mey junctions) unit by unit.
9ஆறாம் வேற்றுமை (genitive) in Tamil typically expresses:
A.Possession / ‘of’ relation between nouns
B.Only command mood of verbs
C.Only future tense marking
D.Only alliteration in poetry
Explanation: ஆறாம் வேற்றுமை (genitive) marks possession or belonging (‘of X’) — e.g., மாணவனின் புத்தகம். Board items often ask which case answers ‘எதனுடைய? / whose?’ type questions.
10ஏழாம் வேற்றுமை (locative), often with markers like -இல் / -இடம், primarily indicates:
A.Location / place where (in, at, on)
B.Only the direct object of a verb
C.Only the speaker’s age
D.Only synonym pairs
Explanation: Locative (ஏழாம் வேற்றுமை) answers ‘where?’ with markers such as -இல் / -இடம் (e.g., வீட்டில், பள்ளியிடம்). Distinguishing locative from dative and ablative is a standard drill.
