Verb conjugations are all about rules. Once you know the
rules, then you can conjugate anything. But figuring out
those rules and all the ones that dont apply is the
confusing bit.
Now, there is one easy rule to conjugating verbs: the ending.
The end of ANY verb will be the last syllable of the pronoun.
That is, if you are saying I eat then you will use and the
verb will end in . Easy, right! will end
in . Exception: 3rd person pronouns. He and She formal,
and They will end the same thing: . She informal will end
in or . He informal will end in .
BUT, now we get into the complicated rules. There are a
couple rules though that makes these otherwise easy things
complicated, of course. Hopefully I figure out a way to
properly explain it.
Rule #1: KNOW THE FULL VERB ITSELF!
The full to do to work to see and not some already
modified form or whatever. Maybe its my teacher or the
stuff Ive read/had, but this is surprisingly complicated to
BUT, the easy thing is: all those rules about changing things
to or whatever, dont matter. The verb form just changes
to the a sound (basically, its normal or pure sound).
Exceptions #1 and #2: and
means to come and means to go. However, when
in the positive form, these verbs change into different
forms. becomes , becomes . They
conjugate according to the rules of the other verbs. EXCEPT
the command and imperative: then you continue to
use /. In the negative, however, they remain as
and and conjugate from that.
Example:
I come: (nehnu vacchanu)
I do not come: (nehnu raanu)
Negative Imperatives
Basically the same as positive, with one change.
Imperative Rule #1: Start with the normal verb
form. The last letter changes to an a sound. I.E.
->
Imperative Rule #2: If the last letter is an (ew)
sound, then the letter before it also turns into an a
sound.
Telugu Grammar #4
Should/Need/Want/Can
It might be a little bit of a longer post, but these four verbs
can kind of all be lumped together. They do similar things to
each other that are different (and easier) than other verbs.
Luckily they are easier because they are super useful!
These verbs are all similar because the verbs themselves do
no conjugate. You take the verb form and generally add
things to it. All those special rules I explained yesterday
(Grammar Lessons #2 and #3) dont apply. Its amazing.
Please note: All of these say add the plus other things to
the verb form. Whenever is added to the verb form, it
means change the previous syllable and make it an sound
(take away its , etc. sounds) not actually adding the itself.
Should
Should has to be the easiest of the four verbs Ill be
describing.
Rule #1: Take the verb form + (a le)
Rule #2: 2nd letter (ew) sound changes to an
(a) sound
- I.e.
(naaku ee poostakamu vaddu) I
do not want this book.
4. I do not need: Same structure, but use
(akkaralaydu). Pronoun + / Noun + .
- I.e. (naaku ee poostakamu
akkaralaydu) I do not need this book.
5. I want to (verb): In order to say you do not want to do a
certain verb (I want to go, I want to eat, I want to walk, etc.)
you must add + (aalanee undi) to the verb form.
Note: No matter what the pronoun is, it will always be
+. You can have nouns or not. The structure will be:
Pronoun + / + Noun + (verb+) .
or
to the end of the sentence. Thus, your sentence
would look like:
Pronoun + / + noun +

Phew! That took awhile to write and then long to type as well!
Basically, its just a story about my first field trip. We went to
this big Asian market called Lotte. There were all these Indian
and Asian fruits, vegetables, and snacks. I bought some small
white eggplants and other snacks and what-not. Then we
went to this Indian restaurant. The food was crazy spicy! I
guess Im going to have to get used to that, arent I? But it was
still good food. The teachers I was with (mine and another
teacher) tried to make me talk to people who spoke Telugu
but I was so frightened. Its likewhen a person tries to speak
to me and Im not ready for the interaction, my whole brain
flies away. My true introvert and shy personality comes out in
that completely unprepared for situation!
Now, this is just in present tense not past, since I havent
learned past tense yet. Seems kind of crazy to think I havent
learned past tense yet. Ive been studying Telugu for just over
two months now. It feels like forever ago, but I still feel like I
hardly know anything. Anyway, the next thing I write (about
my weekend) will be in progressive tense. Im working on
writing things in present, then again in progressive in order to
get used to all the tenses.
Anyway, back to some studying!
