Entry Level – Module 3 – Sentence building in Samskritam
प्रावेशिकः स्तरः - तृतीय-विभागः – संस्कृत-वाक्यरचना
We have come quite far since we started learning Samskritam from Alphabets. We now have a decent knowledge on नामपदानि and क्रियापदानि, which are used in वाक्यं (Sentence) to express our thoughts. Module 3 Sentence building in Samskritam focuses on the following.
- We will be learning आत्मनेपदी-क्रियारूपाणि in all the Lakaras we have so far learned. (लट्, लोट्, लङ् and ऌट्). We will be also using Atmanepadi forms along with Parasmeipadi forms in all the lessons in this module.
- We will be learning the Vibhakti forms of nouns ending in consonants. (हलन्त-शब्दाः).
- We will be learning the technique of combining two phrases in one sentence using सम्बन्ध-वाचक-अव्ययानि.(यदा....तदा, यथा......तथा and other similar constructions.)
- This module includes lessons on विधिलिङ्-लकारः to express possibility or necessity of actions. We also learn forms of ऌङ्-लकारः, which is used to express the action that did not take place.
- We learned active voice forms (कर्तरि-प्रयोगः) of sentences in Module 2. We have lessons to teach Passive voice (कर्मणि-प्रयोगः) and Impersonal voice (भावे-प्रयोगः) constructions.
- We will be learning word forms obtained by adding some more कृत्-प्रत्ययाः along with the sense they indicate and their roles in वाक्यानि.
- Each lesson contains a general prose or a story consisting of one or two paragraphs. The practice of analysing the words (पदपरिचयः) in understanding the sentence will be stressed.
अत्र आरभ्य पाठेषु आङ्ग्लभाषायाम् उपयोगः क्रमशः न्यूनि-कृतः भवेत्।
Starting from this module, the use of English in explaining will be reduced gradually. We must try to learn Samskritam through Samskritam at some point of learning.
Happy Sanskrit Learning!! शुभमस्तु!!
