We use ‘kada’ to verify facts with the other person (what he thinks) like ‘isnt it?’ or more like we use ‘right?’ as a question
Note that in item 4 we added an extra ‘a’ at the end to daggara and dooram which are translations for nearby and faraway thus changing into in to questions such as ‘Is it Nearby’, or ‘Is it far away’…all by adding an a at the end which sounds like a in ‘a’uction…So try changing other words you learnt to turn them to questions, using antonyms…
Lesson 2: Practice 1
Below are new words to learn as well add an ‘a’ as in auction sound to make them questions, especially while using them like antonyms
Example solution from first 2 below: Ee rojaa (Roju+a=Rojaa), Repaa (Repu+a=Repaa) ? which translates to asking “Today or Tomorrow?”
Ee roju | Today |
Repu | Tomorrow |
Vundi | Exists |
Ledu | Doesnot Exist |
Produnna | Morning |
Sayantram | Evening |
Kinda | Below |
Paina | Above |
Lopala | Inside |
Bayata | Outside |
Akkada | There |
Ikkada | Here |
Vaddu | No, not, don’t want |
Kavali | Want, Need |
Raledu | Hasn’t come |
Vachindi | Has come |
Vachu | Know |
Radu | Doesn’t Know |
If you notice, daggara(nearby) changes to daggare, Vaddu (No) changes to Vaddule, Yekkuva (high) changes to Yekkuve when using with ‘kada’ for questioning
Notice how yekkuva (high) changes to Yekkuvaa (extra ‘a’ while questioning) and yekkuve (while emphasizing it)
