Tymes Linguistics

11/10/2017

Hi friends,
Recently I started a YouTube channel called Tymes linguistics. You can watch and learn. So far I made some trial videos.
My thinking is to provide
1. Basic vocab ( not all vocab whatever is useful)
2.Basic daily usage phrases.
3. Structured grammar helps to construct sentences on your own.
4. Some other stuff like cultural, practice videos.

Structure of a Telugu sentence.

1) Ee roju / chaala / veydi ga / undhi.

2) Ee roju / chaala / yenda ga / undhi.
Today / so / sunny / is.

If you want to say that
" I will -----------( email/ call / whatsapp/message / skype/ facebook post ")

Use below Telugu syntax :

Future :

------------------ Cheystha nu.
Examples:
Call Cheystha nu .( I will call ).
Skype Cheystha nu.( I will Skype).
Message Cheystha nu .( I will message ).

Past :

------------------ Cheysaa nu.
Examples:
Call Cheysaa nu .( I did call / I called ).
Skype Cheysaa nu.( I did Skype).
Message Cheysaa nu .( I did a message / I sent ).

Slang : you can skip " nu " .

Call Cheystha nu .( I will call ).
Call Cheystha .( I will call ).

Call Cheysaa nu .( I did call / I called )
Call Cheysaa .( I did call / I called ).
Both sentences are correct.
