Answer Key
Version: 2 of 5
Section A: Vocabulary (மொழிப்படை) — Answers
1. Answer: (b) friend — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "நண்பன்" (naṇpaṉ) is a common Tamil noun referring to a male friend. The female form is "நண்பி" (naṇpi). This word is frequently used in Tamil stories and songs about friendship. The prefix "நல்" (good) makes "நல்ல நண்பன்" (good friend).
2. Answer: (c) பள்ளி — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "பள்ளி" (paḷḷi) means "school" — the place where children learn. This is a fundamental vocabulary word for Primary 2 students. The other options: வீடு = house, மருத்துவமனை = hospital, கோவில் = temple.
3. Answer: (b) happiness — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "மகிழ்ச்சி" (makiḻcci) is the noun form expressing joy or happiness. It comes from the verb root "மகிழ்" (to be happy). Students should recognize this as a positive emotion word commonly used in greetings like "இனிய மகிழ்ச்சி" (wishing happiness).
4. Answer: (a) மழை — 2 marks
- Teaching note: The sentence reads: "If there is ________, I will go to school." The logical completion is "மழை" (rain) — this tests contextual understanding. The full sentence "எனக்கு இன்று மழை என்றால், நான் பள்ளிக்குச் செல்லுவேன்" demonstrates conditional sentence structure.
- Common mistake: Students may choose "குளிர்" (cold) without understanding the grammatical pattern "என்றால்" requires a noun that logically connects to the consequence.
5. Answer: (c) early morning — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "விடியற்காலை" (viṭiyaṟkālai) is a compound word: விடியல் (dawn) + காலை (morning). It specifically means dawn/early morning (approximately 4:30-6:00 AM), earlier than "காலை" (morning, 6:00-9:00 AM). This tests precise time vocabulary.
6. Answer: (d) தாழ்வு — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "உயரம்" (uyaram) = height/elevation. Its opposite is "தாழ்வு" (tāḻvu) = lowness/depth. This tests antonym knowledge. The other options are different dimensions: நீளம் = length, அகலம் = width, ஆழம் = depth.
- Distinction: "ஆழம்" refers to depth downward (like a well), while "தாழ்வு" refers to low height relative to something.
7. Answer: (b) small — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "சிறிய" (siṟiya) is the adjective "small/little." It modifies nouns (e.g., "சிறிய பையன்" = small boy). The comparative/superlative forms use " மிக" (very): "மிகச் சிறிய" = very small/tiny.
8. Answer: (a) மீன் — 2 marks
- Teaching note: The group is food categories: காய்கறி = vegetables, பழம் = fruits, மீன் = fish. All three are natural food groups. The other options (இறைச்சி = meat, அரிசி = rice, பால் = milk) belong to different categories — meat is processed, rice is grain (staple), milk is dairy. "மீன்" fits best as a natural/unprocessed food like vegetables and fruits.
- Alternative acceptable answer: Some teachers may accept any food item, but மீன் is the most syllogistically parallel (natural, unprocessed, commonly grouped in Tamil dietary vocabulary).
9. Answer: (b) a good friend — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "நல்ல" (nalla) is the adjective "good" (from நல் + எழுத்துக்காரம்). "நல்ல நண்பன்" directly translates to "good friend." This tests the அடைமொழி (adjective) + பெயர்ச்சொல் (noun) construction fundamental to Tamil grammar.
10. Answer: (b) blue — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "நீலம்" (nīlam) = blue, one of the primary colors in Tamil. Related forms: நீலக்கல் (sapphire/neelam stone). This is basic color vocabulary expected at Primary 2 level.
Section A Total: 20 marks
Section B: Fill in the Blanks (வெற்றிடம் நிரப்புக) — Answers
11. Answer: இனிமையாக — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "பறவை இனிமையாக பாடுகிறது" = "The bird sings sweetly." இனிமையாக (inimaiyāka) = sweetly/melodiously, from இனிமை (sweetness/pleasantness). This is the appropriate adverb for describing singing.
- Grammar note: The -ஆக suffix turns the noun இனிமை into an adverb.
12. Answer: வேகமாக — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "நாய் வேகமாக ஓடுகிறது" = "The dog runs fast." வேகமாக (vēkamāka) = fast/quickly, from வேகம் (speed). Dogs running fast is a common, contextually appropriate image for Primary 2 students.
13. Answer: அழகாக — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "அம்மா அழகாக கதை சொல்கிறார்" = "Mother tells stories beautifully." அழகாக (aḻakāka) = beautifully/nicely, from அழகு (beauty). Storytelling is culturally valued in Tamil tradition, and "beautifully" honors this.
14. Answer: சுத்தமாக — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "என் அறை சுத்தமாக இருக்கிறது" = "My room is clean." சுத்தமாக (suttamāka) = cleanly/clean, from சுத்தம் (cleanliness). This sentence uses இருக்கிறது (is/exists), so the adverb describes a state, not an action.
- Grammar note: This demonstrates the stative use of adverbs with இருக்கிறது.
15. Answer: மெதுவாக — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "ஆமை மெதுவாக நடக்கிறது" = "The tortoise walks slowly." மெதுவாக (meduvāka) = slowly/gently, from மெதுவு (slowness). This directly references the famous parable of the hare and tortoise (முயலும் ஆமையும்), making it culturally and pedagogically resonant.
- Contextual learning: Teachers may connect this to the moral story students know.
Section B Total: 10 marks
Section C: Match and Use (பொருத்துக் காட்டுக) — Answers
16. Answer: (b) — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "காடு" (kāṭu) = forest/woods, defined as "a place with many trees" — matching with (b). This is a concrete noun for natural environments, building environmental vocabulary.
17. Answer: (a) — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "ஆசிரியர்" (āciriyar) = teacher, "a person who teaches" — matching with (a). This is a respectful term; the female form is ஆசிரியை. Students should use this term rather than informal alternatives.
18. Answer: (c) — 2 marks
- Teaching note: "மாணவன்" (māṇavaṉ) = male student, "a person who studies in school" — matching with (c). The female form is மாணவி. This is formal school vocabulary; informal equivalent is பிள்ளை/மகன்.
19. Sample answer and marking (2 marks):
| Mark breakdown | Expected response |
|---|---|
| 1 mark | Correct use of "மகிழ்ச்சி" in a grammatically complete sentence |
| 1 mark | Contextually meaningful sentence with proper word order |
Example 1 (full marks):
எனக்கு இன்று மிகுந்த மகிழ்ச்சி. (I have great happiness today.)
Example 2 (full marks):
பிறந்தநாள் விழாவில் அனைவரும் மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் இருந்தனர். (Everyone was with happiness at the birthday celebration.)
Teaching note: மகிழ்ச்சி is a feminine abstract noun ending in -ச்சி. It can be used:
- As subject: மகிழ்ச்சி முக்கியம் (Happiness is important)
- With case suffixes: மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் (with happiness), மகிழ்ச்சியால் (because of happiness)
- In compound phrases: மகிழ்ச்சி கொண்டாட்டம் (celebration of joy)
Common errors to flag:
- Using மகிழ்ச்சி as a verb (incorrect: *மகிழ்ச்சி செய்கிறான்) — should use மகிழ்கிறான்
- Wrong case ending: *மகிழ்ச்சியை இருக்கிறது (should be மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் இருக்கிறது)

| Mark breakdown | Expected response |
|---|---|
| 1 mark | Correct use of "நண்பன்" in a grammatically complete sentence |

என் நண்பன் ராஜு மிக நல்லவன். (My friend Raju is very good.)
Example 2 (full marks):
பள்ளியில் புதிய நண்பன் கிடைத்தான். (Got a new friend at school.)
Teaching note: நண்பன் is a masculine noun (ending in -ன்). Key grammatical patterns:
- With possessive: என் நண்பன் (my friend), அவன் நண்பன் (his friend)
- With adjectives: நல்ல நண்பன், பழைய நண்பன் (old friend), உண்மையான நண்பன் (true friend)
- Plural: நண்பர்கள் (friends — general/mixed), நண்பர்கள் (can include female friends in modern usage)
Common errors to flag:
- Using நண்பன் for female friend (incorrect — use நண்பி)
