Function Verb Constructions

సహాయ క్రియా ప్రయోగాలు

Formal German often swaps a simple verb for a noun-plus-'light verb' combination — in Kraft treten instead of gelten — a stylistic habit Telugu mirrors with its own noun-plus-light-verb constructions.

Grammar Comparison

వ్యాకరణ పోలిక

A noun does the real work; the verb is just a light carrier

German

in Kraft treten (to come into force, lit. 'step into force') instead of gelten (to apply/be valid)

Telugu

అమల్లోకి రావడం (lit. 'come into effect/implementation') instead of the plain verb వర్తించు

Telugu shows the identical formal-register habit of routing a simple action through a noun plus a light, near-meaningless verb, rather than one direct verb. అమల్లోకి రావడం literally means 'to come (రావడం, from రా, 'come') into effect' (అమలు, 'implementation' + లోకి, 'into') — structurally the same move as German's Kraft ('force') plus treten ('step'). This pattern is everywhere in Telugu legal and administrative language: పరిగణలోకి తీసుకోవడం ('to take into consideration', lit. 'take into consideration-place') mirrors zur Verfügung stehen's noun-plus-light-verb shape, and నిర్ణయం తీసుకోవడం ('to take a decision') parallels eine Entscheidung treffen almost word for word — both languages literally 'take' a decision rather than just 'deciding'. Learn these Telugu and German pairs as fixed phrases; the component words rarely combine predictably outside the set expression.
