Alankaralu (ornaments) in Telugu grammar consists of two main categories: sound ornaments (Shabda Alankaralu) and figures of speech (Arya Alankaralu). Sound ornaments include six types: Vrityanuprasa (alliteration - repetition of consonants), Chekanuprasa (rhyming rhyme - same words with different meanings), Latanuprasa (near rhyme - words with slight meaning differences), Antyanuprasa (end rhyme - same consonants at word/sentence ends), Muktapradagasta Alankaram (reinterpreting omitted words), and Yamakam (words starting with same letter but different subsequent letters). Figures of speech include 10 types, with 5 being most important for exams: Metaphor (direct comparison without 'like'), Simile (comparison with 'like'), Anticipation Metaphor (anticipatory comparison), Natural Expression (expressing inherent qualities), and Interrogative Pronoun (indirect questioning). This topic carries 16 marks weightage in OSMANIA University's second-semester Telugu exam.

Added:Hello students welcome back to our channel so for all of you there is a grammar topic called Alaknarakul in Telugu second semester so in this video you will be completely explained about Alaknarakul even if you have zero knowledge you can easily learn from this video because Alaknarakul is something you will learn in both Part A and Part B so this grammar topic is compulsory you should not skip it okay okay in this video the topic of Alaknarakul is something I have already done so watch it merging okay okay you understand compulsory you can score marks because in Part A you will get one question of four marks in Part B 12 marks total 16 marks okay 16 marks weightage is given to you so no one should miss this concept okay after watching the entire video and learning in the comment section Definitely comment, did you understand or do you want more videos on the grammar topic?
Even if it is related to the Telugu subject, definitely comment in the comment section.
Okay, so don't skip the video. Let's get into the video. We have a grammar topic called embellishments for you.
So in embellishments, you have two types. Okay, one is called verbal embellishments and the other is called semi-emphasis.
Okay, again, in verbal embellishments, there are different semi-emphasis.
So let's discuss everything.
What to learn from the exam point of view is a simple question. If you watch this video from first to last, you will be able to attempt 19 marks. Okay, so we call verbal ornamentation the ornamentation that uses sound. Okay, there are a total of six types of this.
Rhyme, rhyme, rhyme, ending rhyme, free verse, and rhyme. These are all six types of sound ornaments. There are two types of ornaments.
What is the first type?
How many sound ornaments are there in total? There are six in total.
What are sound ornaments? We call them sound ornaments. So, the first thing we have in the word order is the alliteration.
So the definition of this is that when one or more consonants are repeated multiple times, that is, when that consonant is repeated over and over again, we call it alliteration. That is, if there is more than one consonant, we call it a rhyming word. Now look at the example: It drizzled heavily. Here the word "ta" is repeated very frequently, so in the same line, "chitta ta" is "patta ta" is " chinukulu patta pata" means "ta ta" is "kadda kurisenu" (it fell). So, since one or more consonants have been heard like this, we call this "vrityanuprasa". So in the above example, the letter த appears many times, so we can call it an alliteration. Another example is the water flowing through the canals. What's going on here is that the word "la" is repeated many times. What's next? You should think about it from the examination point of view and write it. So, Vrityanuprasa is easy, Mom, you do n't even need to learn it, it's easy. So examples are easy, the first second is easy, you just have to learn the definition of it. What is Nau Chekanuprasa?
So what is a rhyming rhyme? If two or more consonants come together immediately after each other, with a double meaning, with a double meaning, we call it a rhyming rhyme. That is, we call two words that are the same but have different meanings and are placed next to each other a rhyming word. For example, "Papa Samharudu Harudu Okaya Harudu Harudu" was repeated to us twice at the same time. So this Samharud has a meaning, Harud has a meaning. So who is the murderer? Who is the first one in this? What do we call Haru?
We call someone who destroys, that is, kills, a murderer.
What's the matter with Haru in another thread? It means Lord Shiva. So what else do we call Shiva? We call him Haru. So let's ask, is Shiva the killer of sins? So, the destroyer of sins is Haru.
So, we call this Chekanuprasa. If the same words come together immediately and have two different meanings, we call it Chekanuprasa. Clear. Next. Next.
What is one example? It is enough for the exam. Again, you will not get confused too much. I will not say it in a way that will make you confused too much. Okay. So, ours will be simple. Okay. Next.
Latanuprasa. Latanuprasa. Latanuprasa.
Meaning is, if words with the same meaning come together immediately without any difference in meaning, we call it Latanuprasa. That is, immediately, that is, at the same time. Now, how did we get Samharud Harud Harud here too? But what do we call both the same? It means that they come with the same meanings. Okay. So, here is the definition of this. This.
Next. This. This. This. An example is Kamalakshu Kamalakshu Narpichu Karamulu Karamulu.
Does Kamalakshu Narpichu Karamulu mean Karamulu? Karamulu means hands. What does Karamulu mean?
In this, the first word Karamulu means hands. The second word Karamulu means excellent hands. It means clean hands. Excellent hands means good hands. So here, the first one means hands. The second one means good hands. It means excellent hands. So the words that immediately follow each other have different meanings, both hands. So we call something with a slight difference a Latin rhyme. Okay, next is the end rhyme. So if the same consonant occurs at the end of a sentence or at the end of a word or at the end of a single word, we call it end rhyme. That is, if the same word occurs at the beginning of every word or at the end of a word, we call it end rhyme. Look at the example here. Bhootani, Yajnopaveeta, Vipala Geeta. Here we have the word Tani repeated for all of them.
Okay, look at the next second example. Who is this? Who is this? Who is this? Who is this?
So the word Vadu comes at the end of every last word.
Another thing is puppy matchstick soap bill here the word "la" comes at the end of each. So we call something like this a rhyming ornament.
What is next? Muktapradagasta alakram means reinterpreting and repeating the omitted word.
For example, here, the word next that appears in every last line is the opening to it. Now look at Sudathi Nutana Madanaga Madanaga Turanga Pura Purna Mahichan Sadana Sadana Mayagaja Rajana Look here. The words that come here will be the opening for the next one.
The word that comes here will be the opening for the next one. The word that comes here will be the opening for the next one. So once there is a closing for one and an opening for another, we call it Mukta Padagrasta Alankaram, which means it is the least important from the exam point of view. So if you don't understand, leave it. Yamakam is also important, okay.
So Vrityanuprasa Chekanuprasa Latanuprasa Antyanuprasa Yamakam These are very important sound ornaments. It is important.
Okay. So what is Yamakam? Words that start with the same letter with a different letter, Lema, Dhanujula Gelavagala Lema, Nivela Kedhi Lechitan Vilutan Lema, Manu Neyuda Lema, Villandukomu, etc. It is like this.
What is there for all of them? Here we have the word Le. So starting with the word "we don't have it". So what comes out like this is what we call a yamaka. It is enough to simply learn its meaning and definition and write some examples. Next part, what are the figures of speech and figures of speech that we have learned? Now what we will learn is figures of speech, figures of speech means figures of speech that convey meaning. Figures of speech mean that the meanings are witty, okay, sarcastic, and playful. So the first important one is that there are 10 in total. Okay, there are 10 in total. The important one is that there are allegories, metaphors, rhetorical figures, and the next is that these five are important because only these five are repeated a lot. Learn these five syllables: assonance, assonance, assonance, assonance, assonance, and assonance. Learn these five. If you learn a total of 10, it will be enough for you. More than enough is not enough. There will be repetitions, so don't stress yourself too much.
So first, what is metaphor?
What is metaphor? What is a metaphor? A metaphor is a good example of a good comparison.
That is, the object of description means what you are describing, about the pen, about the book, about you, about me. A simile means the object of comparison. Anything you are compared to is called a simile. What is the similarity of similes? Now, if you are comparing you to me, what is the common feature that you and I have? We call it a similarity. A metaphor means words like, similar, etc. See the example here: O king, your fame is like a swan, swaying in the sky. Here the king is being compared to a swan. He is comparing it to something like floating in the sky. We call something like this a metaphor. Look at another example, Sita's face shines like the moon.
We are comparing Sita to the moon, that is, to the moon.
Okay, so we call it a metaphor. Next is the metaphor of anticipation. What does this metaphor of anticipation mean?
What is anticipation?
Let's call it an anticipation metaphor. Look at the example.
Those towers are like kissing the sky.
Now, imagine that we have water in the distance under a hill. When we look in the distance, what kind of water is there? There are two skys attached to it. Do they really meet? What are they saying here? Those towers seem to be kissing the sky. There are big buildings, big buildings, so it means that they are compared like that. So we call something like this an exclamation mark. What's next? Metaphor, what is metaphor? He says that what is said as if there is a difference between similes and metaphors is called metaphor, that is, what is said without a connection between the two is called metaphor, that is, the sorrow that has filled my head is like a pile of unquenchable sorrow. What does this mean? That is, the fire on that head means fire, right? The grief is different, the fire is different. She compares her pain to fire. Does their fire have any connection with grief? But to show that there is a connection, we say that it is a metaphor.
Next is the figure of speech, which means that you express your qualities, your race, and your feelings. What is an example of this?
Those deer are staring at you with their eyes wide open, their ears piercing with fear and their minds looking here and there. What does it mean when a deer says that the deer are looking here and there with fear, but when it says that the deer are looking here and there with fearful eyes, with pointed ears, with fear and anxiety, it means that here they are talking about their nature, that is, when are they afraid? When are the deer, that is, when are the deer, afraid? What is said to express their nature, their race, is called a natural expression. What is the clear next important thing? What is the meaning of the interrogative pronoun? Interrogative pronoun means that the ordinary sentence is related to the special sentence and the special sentence is related to the ordinary sentence.
See the example here. Hanuman crosses the ocean. There is nothing that is not possible for great men.
What is he saying here? Hanuman crossed the ocean. There is nothing that is not possible for great men like Mahanubhavu. He is indirectly saying that. Okay, next, watch these things. Mostly, these are not enough. This pun is rarely asked. He asks all these rarely. So, I know, five of the half-words of the words. These five of the half-words. If you learn all these 10 perfectly, if you attempt, you will be able to do it.
Grammar topic. Okay, so this is the grammar topic in Telugu. I think you have understood it. If you have any other doubts, comment in the comment section.
And all the very best for your examination. Yes, well, your preparation. See you all in the next video.
Students, bye, bye, everyone.
