Kannada Pronouns: Subjective and Objective Forms Practice – Exercises

Mastering pronouns is a crucial step in achieving proficiency in any language, and Kannada is no exception. In Kannada, pronouns are used to replace nouns and reduce redundancy, making communication more fluent and natural. This page is designed to help you practice and perfect your understanding of Kannada pronouns, focusing specifically on their subjective and objective forms. Whether you are a beginner trying to get a grasp on the basics or an advanced learner aiming to refine your skills, these exercises will provide you with the practice you need to confidently use Kannada pronouns in everyday conversation. The subjective form of pronouns in Kannada is used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, while the objective form is used when the pronoun is the object. For example, in English, "he" is a subjective pronoun, and "him" is its objective counterpart. Similarly, in Kannada, subjective pronouns like "ಅವನು" (avanu) for "he" and objective pronouns like "ಅವನನ್ನು" (avannu) for "him" are used. This page offers a variety of exercises that will help you distinguish between these forms, understand their usage, and apply them correctly in sentences. Through consistent practice, you will gain confidence in your ability to use Kannada pronouns accurately, enhancing both your spoken and written communication skills.
