Lesson 26.5A2

Describing People

மனிதர்களை விவரிப்பது

Physical and personality descriptions put last level's adjective-endings rule to work constantly — every adjective here needs the right ending once it sits in front of a noun.

Grammar Comparison

இலக்கண ஒப்பீடு

Descriptive adjectives trigger the ending rule from A2's grammar spine

German

ein freundlicher Mann (a friendly man) / eine freundliche Frau (a friendly woman)

Tamil

நட்பான மனிதன் / நட்பான பெண் (நட்பான never changes)

This lesson has no new grammar of its own — it's a vocabulary set specifically chosen to make you practice the adjective-endings pattern from the grammar spine (freundlich → freundlicher/freundliche/freundliches depending on gender and case) with real, memorable words instead of abstract examples. Tamil's நட்பான stays fixed no matter what; keep reminding yourself that German's ending is doing work Tamil quietly skips.
