1 KANNADA
1.1 Introduction
We often talk of using a language in its correct form. In order to use a language in its correct
form its very much essential that you know the grammar of that language. The grammar of a
language can be derived on various theoretical principles and linguistic models that have
already been accepted in that language. However we can obtain a proximate reality by
historical reconstruction and the resulting comparison with cognate
languages.

Since Kannada has been heavily under Sanskrit influence Kannada grammar too is more or
less similar to Sanskrit grammar. Kavirajamarga of 850 AD can be considered as the first
book on Kannada grammar, the name of the book literally means the main road for a poet.
This has laid down many principles to be followed by a poet in creating his works. There is a
reference of earlier Sanskrit works of Kalidasa, BanaBhatta and also a call for contemporary
writers to emulate the high standards set by those
works.Kavyavalokana and Karnatabhashabhushana by Nagavarma (12
th
century AD) is
also a notable work on Kannada grammar. Kannada grammar is primarily based
on Shabdamanidarpana (1260AD) by Keshiraja.
1.2 Kannada language has got

there are three genders namely,
(1) Masculine gender Pullinga
(2) Feminine gender Strilinga and
(3) Neuter gender Napumsakalinga

Object Karmani
1.2.10 Articles
The articles are of two types

1.2.11 Sanskrit Influence
There is a general debate that due to Sanskrit influence and too much adherence to Sanskrit
hegemony in its earlier days Kannada has blindly adapted some grammatical features that are
not its own. Certain features are derived without any rationality. This intentional emulation
from Sanskrit for sometime had led to a belief that Kannada must have been derived from
Kannada Class Notes
Page 5 of 71
Sanskrit. There is an argument to reconstruct the grammar of Kannada at various levels such
as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics on its Dravidian lineage. It is
opined that reconstruction has to be based on modern models relinquishing the redundant
patterns derived from Sanskrit. This is inevitably a question of political as well as social
will! For Kannada translation by native translator contact www.indianscripts.com

7 Cases - Historical
The eight historical Indo-European cases are as follows, with examples either of the English case or of the English syntactic alternative to case:
Cases for Nouns
1 Nominative Case indicates the subject of a finite verb We went to the store.
2 Accusative Case indicates the direct object of a verb: The clerk remembered us.
3 Dative Case indicates the indirect object of a verb The clerk gave us a discount. or The clerk gave a discount to us
4 Ablative Case indicates movement from something, or cause: The victim went from us to see the doctor. and He was
unhappy because of depression.
5 Genitive Case which roughly corresponds to English's possessive case
and preposition of, indicates the possessor of another noun
J ohn's book was on the table. and The pages of the book turned
yellow.
6 Vocative Case indicates an addressee:
J ohn, are you all right? or simply Hello, J ohn!
7 Locative case indicates a location We live in China
8 Instrumental Case indicates an object used in performing an action We wiped the floor with a mop. and Written by hand
All of the above are just rough descriptions; the precise distinctions vary from language to language, and are often quite complex. Case is based
fundamentally on changes to the noun to indicate the noun's role in the sentence. This is not how English works, where word order and prepositions are
used to achieve this.
Modern English has largely abandoned the inflectional case system of Indo-European in favor of analytic constructions. The personal pronouns of Modern
English retain morphological case more strongly than any other word class (a remnant of the more extensive case system of Old English). For other
pronouns, and all nouns, adjectives, and articles, grammatical function is indicated only by word order, by prepositions, and by the genitive clitic -'s.
Taken as a whole, English personal pronouns are typically said to have three morphological cases:
Cases Historical
Page 45 of 71
Cases for Personal Pronouns
1 Nominative Case
(Subjective Pronouns) such as I, he, she, we), used for the subject of a finite verb and sometimes for the complement of
a copula.
2 Oblique Case
(Objective Pronouns) such as me, him, her, us), used for the direct or indirect object of a verb, for the object of a preposition,
for an absolute disjunct, and sometimes for the complement of a copula.
3 Genitive Case (Possessive Pronouns) such as my/mine, his, her(s), our(s)), used for a grammatical possessor. This is not always considered
to be a case
See English possessive: Status of the possessive as a grammatical case.
Most English personal pronouns have five forms; in addition to the nominative and oblique case forms, the possessive case has both a determiner form (such
as my, our) and a distinct independent form (such as mine, ours) (with the exceptions that these are not distinct for the third person singular masculine [his
car, it is his] and that the third person singular neuter it does not have the possessive independent form); and they have a distinct reflexive or intensive form
(such as myself, ourselves). The interrogative personal pronoun who exhibits the greatest diversity of forms within the modern English pronoun system having
definite nominative, oblique, and genitive forms (who, whom, whose) and equivalently coordinating indefinite forms (whoever, whomever, and whosoever).
Though English pronouns can have subject and object forms (he/him, she/her), nouns show only a singular/plural and a possessive/non-possessive
distinction (e.g., chair,chairs, chair's, chairs'). Note that chair does not change form between "the chair is here" (subject) and "I saw the chair" (direct object), a
distinction made by word order and context.
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 46 of 71
8 Cases - Latin 112/113:
8.1.1.1 For further discussion see the relevant entries in the "Glossary of English-Latin Grammar" on pp. xvii-xxiii of
the Reading Latin grammar.
In Latin, word order is not nearly so central to meaning as it is in English: the grammatical function of an individual noun or
pronoun in Latin is indicated by its form rather than by its position within the sentence. (Contrast English, where "The man bit
the dog" is quite a different thing from "The dog bit the man." On the other hand, modern English still retains some elements of
such a system: that is why one must say, "I go to the store" rather than "Me go to the store.")
Each of the various functions performed by nouns or pronouns in a Latin sentence is associated with one of six cases (the
nominative case, the accusative case, the genitive case, the dative case, the ablative case, and the vocative case) and, according
to the nature of the particular noun or pronoun, each case takes a particular form(as in the difference between English "I" and
"me"). The case of the noun or pronoun, as indicated by its particular form, will tell you whether the noun is the subject of the
sentence (the person or thing performing the action or, in more general terms, the subject under discussion: e.g., in the example
above, whether the dog or the man is doing the biting), thedirect object (the person or thing receiving the action: in the example
above, just who is being bitten), the indirect object, etc.
Below is a brief outline of the basic grammatical functions associated with each case. Over the course of the year, you will need
to develop a more nuanced sense of how each of the cases functions, but this outline should provide you with an initial general
guide to how they tend to be used and the contexts in which they tend to appear. [FN 1]
8.2 The Nominative Case (Nom.)
o Names the subject of the sentence i.e., the person or thing performing the action or under discussion. Tends
to answer the question, "Who/what did it?"
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 47 of 71
o In English, the subject of the sentence tends to come first: the main exception are questions, where the
interrogative word tends to be placed first for emphasis.
Examples:
The lions killed the gazelle.
The crowd went wild.
The girls were frightened.
Jimhas been sent to Paris.
Whom did he kill?
o The nominative case is also used when another noun, pronoun, or adjective refers back to the subject of the
sentence. A good example of this is the complement after the verb "to be."
Example:
Jimis president of our club. (Both "Jim" and "president" refer to the subject of the sentence, so both
would be in the nominative case.)
o As a rule of thumb, the nominative will be used whenever you are referring to the subject of the sentence.
8.3 The Accusative Case (Acc.)
o The accusative case in Latin is associated with three main functions:
a. Names the direct object the person or thing towards which the action of a transitive verb is directed.
Examples:
The lions killed the gazelle.
Jim assigned homework to the class.
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 48 of 71
This is the most common use of the accusative. Note that, generally speaking, leaving out the direct
object will leave you without a complete thought: in the second example above, the statement, "Jim
assigned," doesn't mean very much.
b. Names the goal of motion the person or thing towards which one is moving.
Examples:
Jim went to the store.
She ran toward the house.
We approached the girls.
It is perhaps useful to imagine the accusative in this sense as a wall toward which one is heading.
In a sense, this use is very like the use of the accusative to indicate the direct object: in each instance
the accusative names that person or thing toward which the action is aimed.
c. Indicates the extent to which an action endures, in either temporal or geographical terms.
Examples:
He slept for three days.
We ran six miles.
In each instance, the accusative indicates that the action endured without a break: i.e., for three
whole days and for six continuous miles.
It is perhaps useful to imagine the accusative in this sense as a line, indicating the space
geographical or chronological throughout which the action endures.
8.4 The Genitive Case (Gen.)
The genitive is best thought of as the "adjectival" case: it is used when one wishes to employ one noun to specify
something about another. There are many different specific uses of the genitive, but most of them will be translated into
English through the use of the preposition "of."
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 49 of 71
Examples:
Dorothy and the Scarecrow found a man of tin. (The genitive of material. Notice how "of tin" uses
the noun "tin" to describe the man in more detail: one could just as easily have employed "tin" as an
adjective instead ["a tin man"].)
A person of great intelligence (i.e., "an intelligent person": the genitive of quality or descriptive
genitive)
The house of Euclio [= "Euclio's house"] (the possessive genitive: a very common use)
Three of us (the partitive genitive)
The love of God is not earned but is granted freely. (A subjective genitive: it implies the notion that
"God loves," where "God" is the subject of the verb implied by the abstract verbal noun "love.")
The love of fine wines killed him. (An objective genitive: it implies the notion that "he loved fine
wines," where "fine wines" is the object of the verb implied by the abstract verbal noun "love.")
He accuses me of theft. (the genitive of the charge)
8.5 The Dative Case (Dat.)
The dative case is in some ways the most abstract of the cases and one of the hardest for English speakers to
conceptualize. In general, the dative indicates a person or thing who is somehow interested in or affected by the action in
some immediate way.
Consistently, the dative will be translated via the English "to" or "for."
The most concrete (and most common) use of the dative is to indicate the indirect object.
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 50 of 71
Example:
He gave the pot to Euclio. (Here, "he" is the subject and "pot" is the direct object; "to Euclio"
indicates the person in whose interest the action was conducted.)
Warning: English speakers, hearing the word "to," will immediately make an association with the idea of
motion. But motion toward something, as we have seen, is the province of the accusative case: the dative
is never used to indicate the goal of motion except in poetic texts (and even there it doesn't literally
indicate motion but rather implies it). In Latin, the sentence in the above example indicates that the action
was undertaken in Euclio's interest or to his advantage or in some way that affected him. The best way to
illustrate this is to consider some other examples:
He took the pot from Euclio. (Here, "from Euclio" would again be in the dative in Latin, indicating
that the action immediately concerned Euclio, this time to his disadvantage. As we will see below, if
the Roman speaker wanted to say literally that the person removed the pot from Euclio's vicinity,
he/she would employ the ablative case.)
This is difficult for me (i.e., so far as I am concerned).
He seemed to me to be a fool.
The most abstract use of the dative is the so-called ethical dative, which indicates that the statement is offered for
someone's consideration (often, but not always, with an implication of irony or indignation) or as something that concerns
him/her. Modern English readers would perhaps be most likely to run into this dative in the works of Shakespeare or other
Elizabethan authors.
Example:
I am not yet of Percy's mind, the Hotspur of the North; he that kills me some six or seven dozen of
Scots at a breakfast, washes his hands, and says to his wife, 'Fie upon this quiet life! I want work.' (I
Henry IV II.iv.113-15)
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 51 of 71
at tibi repente venit ad me Caninius. ["But I tell you!/Can you believe it?! Caninius suddenly
came to me!"]
8.6 The Ablative Case (Abl.)
The ablative case in Latin is associated with three main functions:
. The "true" ablative, indicating separation (as the name implies)
Examples:
She departed from the station.
They got out of town.
Note that, as in the second example, the idea of separation is often associated with the genitive in
English: hence the use of the word "of." Latin consistently employs the ablative in contexts where
the idea of separation is implied. (For an apparent exception, see above on the so-called "dative of
disadvantage.")
a. The ablative used to indicate location in a specific spot or a rigorously defined area
Examples:
They are in the house.
We sat on the chair.
He slept under the bench.
It is perhaps useful to imagine the ablative in this sense as a specific point or as a point within a well-
defined region.
b. The ablative indicating instrument (or means) or accompaniment
Examples:
They hit me with a stick. (instrument/means)
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 52 of 71
I do not write well with a pencil. (instrument/means)
We went to the store with our friends. (accompaniment)
He sang with great gusto. (accompaniment: the ablative of manner)
We will find that, where English employs "with" in each of the above sentences, the Latin involves
quite distinct constructions.
8.7 The Vocative Case (Voc.)
The vocative case is used to address someone or something directly.
Such addresses stand outside of the construction of the sentence and are really a type of interjection.
The vocative is easily recognized: it generally looks exactly like the nominative (the main exception: the vocative singular
of second-declension nouns in -us) and is separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.
Examples:
Get over here, Jim!
Jim, you have got to be the laziest person on the planet.
Jim, they're over here! (Here "Jim" is quite clearly a cry to get Jim's attention, since "Jim" plays no
role in the sentence proper.)
Have you seen the neighbor's cat, Jim? (where it is assumed that the neighbor's cat is not named
Jim)
9 Note on Prepositions
A number of the above case usages involve the use of prepositional phrases in English that is, the English translation
employs a combination of a preposition and a noun ("to the store," "of tin," "for me," "in the house," "with a stick," etc.).
Cases Latin 112/113
Page 53 of 71
Latin also uses prepositions, but not as extensively as does English. Often the use of a noun in a specific case all by itself
will indicate a notion that in modern English requires a prepositional phrase. That is, the case of the noun all by itself, in
accordance with the principles set out above, conveys the sense of the modern English prepositional phrase.
English once had such usages but dropped them for the most part. Consider the following expressions:
here (= "at this place")
hither (= "to this place")
hence (= "fromthis place")
there (= "at that place")
thither (= "to that place")
thence (= "fromthat place")
where (= "at what place")
whither (= "to what place")
whence (= "fromwhat place")
When Latin does employ a prepositional phrase, the preposition in effect merely reinforces the sense that is already
inherent, in some fashion, in the form of the noun itself
