Lesson 62.2C1

Legal & Bureaucratic Vocabulary

சட்ட/அரசாங்க நடை

This is Nominalstil, function-verb constructions, and genitive chains all converging at once — Behördendeutsch (bureaucratic German) is the single hardest register you'll meet, and also the one this course has spent the most lessons preparing you for.

Grammar Comparison

இலக்கண ஒப்பீடு

Every B2/C1 formal-register trick shows up in one sentence

German

Der Antrag ist unter Beachtung der geltenden Vorschriften einzureichen. (The application must be submitted in observance of the applicable regulations.)

Tamil

நடைமுறையில் உள்ள விதிமுறைகளைக் கவனத்தில் கொண்டு விண்ணப்பத்தை சமர்ப்பிக்க வேண்டும். (a similarly dense, formal Tamil bureaucratic sentence)

Unpack this sentence using every tool this course has given you: ist...einzureichen is a passive alternative ('must be submitted'), unter Beachtung is a function-verb-style fixed phrase, and der geltenden Vorschriften is a genitive chain. There's no new grammar left to learn here — Behördendeutsch is simply the place where every formal-register skill from B2 and C1 gets applied simultaneously, in the densest sentences you'll encounter in German.
