Class 82 taught you to describe things. This class is about describing PEOPLE — what they look like, and more importantly what they are like. Start with the grammar, because it hands you thirty words from a single ending. The ending is കാരൻ (-kaaran) for a man and കാരി (-kaari) for a woman, and it means: a person characterised by this. Attach it to a noun and you get a kind of person. തമാശ (thamaasha) a joke → തമാശക്കാരൻ (thamaashakkaaran) a funny man ദേഷ്യം (deshyam) anger → ദേഷ്യക്കാരൻ (deshyakkaaran) a short-tempered man പണം (panam) money → പണക്കാരൻ (panakkaaran) a rich man കള്ളം (kallam) a lie → കള്ളക്കാരൻ (kallakkaaran) a liar And separately കള്ളൻ (kallan), a thief — which is also used affectionately of a mischievous child, exactly as English says "you little rascal". Learn the ending and you stop learning adjectives one at a time. You start generating them. In this class: • The കാരൻ / കാരി ending and how far you can push it • Physical description — height, build, hair, complexion, age • Character description, which is where Malayalam is richest • One topic handled directly rather than avoided, because learners meet it and need the language for it Quizzes below.
