What is Active Voice in Tamil?
Active voice in Tamil is also called சய்வன (seyvinai) or சய்வன வக்கயம் (seyvinai vaakkiyam). In active voice, the subject of the sentence does the action on the object. The subject is usually a person, animal or thing that performs the action. The object is usually a person, animal or thing that receives the action. The verb shows the action and agrees with the subject in number and person. The basic structure of an active voice sentence in Tamil is:
Subject + Verb + Object
For example:
அவர் பத்தகத்த படக்கறர். (Avar puththakaththai padikkiraar.) - He is reading a book.
நன் அவளக்க பசனன். (Naan avalukku pesinen.) - I spoke to her.
