Describing a Graph or Chart
గ్రాఫ్ లేదా చార్టును వివరించడం
B2 speaking exams often hand you a chart and ask you to describe its trend — a fixed vocabulary of movement verbs does almost all the work, regardless of what the chart actually shows. Telugu has its own tight closed set of these verbs, and their past-tense endings even flag a grammar point from earlier in this course.
Grammar Comparison
వ్యాకరణ పోలిక
Movement verbs describe change without needing new grammar
Die Zahl ist gestiegen. / Der Anteil ist gesunken. (The number has risen. / The share has fallen.)
సంఖ్య పెరిగింది. / వాటా తగ్గింది. (the number rose. / the share decreased.)
Chart description in both languages reduces to a small closed set of movement verbs (steigen/పెరుగు, sinken/తగ్గు, sich verdoppeln/రెట్టింపు అవ్వు) applied to whatever quantity the chart shows, using the Perfekt tense you already know rather than any new construction. Notice, too, that పెరిగింది and తగ్గింది both end in -ింది, the non-masculine verb ending from this course's gender-agreement grammar point — సంఖ్య ('number') and వాటా ('share') are grammatically non-masculine nouns, so they automatically take the same ending Telugu would give a feminine subject. The skill here is entirely vocabulary recognition, not new grammar — memorize the verb set and you can describe any chart the exam puts in front of you.
