1In Nepali Shabda Bhandar (vocabulary structure), what category of words are directly borrowed from Sanskrit in their original unchanged forms, such as 'Agni' or 'Surya'?
A.Tatsam words
B.Tadbhav words
C.Deshaj words
D.Agantuk words
Explanation: Tatsam words ('tat' = that, 'sama' = equal) are words borrowed directly from Sanskrit into Nepali without any phonological or structural modification. Examples include 'Agni', 'Surya', and 'Prithvi'. They represent the formal and classical stratum of Nepali vocabulary.
2Which category of Nepali words evolved from Sanskrit roots through natural historical sound changes in Prakrit and Apabhramsha (e.g., Sanskrit 'Karna' becoming Nepali 'Kaan')?
A.Tatsam
B.Tadbhav
C.Agantuk
D.Anukaranatmak
Explanation: Tadbhav words ('tat' = that, 'bhava' = born from) originate from Sanskrit roots but underwent sound alterations through colloquial Prakrit dialects before entering modern Nepali. For example, Sanskrit 'Karna' transformed into Nepali 'Kaan' (ear), and 'Hasti' into 'Haatti' (elephant).
3Loanwords borrowed into Nepali from foreign non-Sanskritic languages such as English, Persian, Arabic, or Portuguese (e.g., 'Kalam', 'School', 'Kagaz') belong to which classification?
A.Tatsam words
B.Tadbhav words
C.Agantuk words
D.Deshaj words
Explanation: Agantuk (or Videshi) words are foreign loanwords assimilated into Nepali from external languages such as Persian, Arabic, English, and Portuguese. Common examples include 'Kalam' (pen), 'Kagaz' (paper), and 'School'.
4In Nepali grammar, native words that originate from local indigenous dialects and folk usage without identifiable Sanskrit etymology (e.g., 'Ghyampo', 'Kodalo') are classified as:
A.Tatsam
B.Tadbhav
C.Agantuk
D.Deshaj
Explanation: Deshaj words ('desh' = region, 'ja' = born) are indigenous words native to the Himalayan region and traditional Nepali speech, lacking formal Sanskrit etymology. Words like 'Kodalo' (hoe) and 'Ghyampo' (clay pot) fall under Deshaj.
5Words in Nepali that imitate acoustic sounds or visual actions, such as 'Jharrr' (sound of rain) or 'Ghamghak' (sudden light), are known as:
A.Anukaranatmak Shabda
B.Yaugik Shabda
C.Paryayavachi Shabda
D.Viparitarthak Shabda
Explanation: Anukaranatmak Shabda (onomatopoeic or echoic words) express natural sounds, physical sensations, or visual rhythms in Nepali speech. They enrich description in Nepali prose and poetry.
6What parts of speech category in Nepali does the word 'Sundar' (beautiful) belong to when qualifying a noun like 'Phool' (flower)?
A.Naam (Noun)
B.Visheshana (Adjective)
C.Sarvanaam (Pronoun)
D.Kriya (Verb)
Explanation: Visheshana (Adjective) is a word that modifies, qualifies, or specifies the quality, state, or quantity of a noun (Naam) or pronoun (Sarvanaam) in Nepali grammar. In 'Sundar Phool', 'Sundar' describes the quality of 'Phool'.
7In the Nepali sentence 'Ram le kitab padhyo', which word functions as the Sarvanaam (pronoun) if replaced by 'Usle kitab padhyo'?
A.Kitab
B.Padhyo
C.Usle
D.Le
Explanation: 'Usle' (He/She + agentive case marker) is a personal pronoun (Sarvanaam) replacing the proper noun 'Ram'. Sarvanaam words substitute for nouns to avoid repetitive naming.
8Which of the following represents an Abstract Noun (Bhavavachak Naam) in Nepali?
A.Himalaya
B.Minahat
C.Pokhari
D.Daya
Explanation: 'Daya' (kindness/compassion) is a Bhavavachak Naam (abstract noun) because it denotes an intangible quality, feeling, or emotion rather than a concrete physical object or person.
9What is the primary function of Kriyavisheshana (Adverb) in Nepali grammar?
A.To modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb
B.To connect two independent clauses
C.To express sudden emotional exclamations
D.To mark case relationships on nouns
Explanation: Kriyavisheshana (Adverb) modifies a verb (Kriya), adjective (Visheshana), or another adverb by providing details regarding time (Kala), place (Sthan), manner (Riti), or degree (Pariman).
10In Nepali, words like 'Ra' (and), 'Tarah' (but), and 'Athava' (or) which join words or clauses belong to which grammatical category?
A.Kriyavisheshana
B.Sanyojak (Conjunction)
C.Namayogik
D.Nipat
Explanation: Sanyojak (Conjunctions) are indeclinable words (Avyaya) used to connect words, phrases, or clauses in Nepali sentences. Examples include 'ra', 'tatha', 'parantu', and 'athava'.
