Nepali Language, Grammar and Communication Skills

What is tested

व्याकरण, शब्दभण्डार, शुद्ध लेखन, पठन बोध and functional communication, aligned with the grades 6–8 CDC textbooks. Items mix recognition (identify the समास) with application (correct the sentence).

Core grammar

  • पदवर्ग: नाम, सर्वनाम, विशेषण, क्रिया, क्रियाविशेषण, नामयोगी, संयोजक, विस्मयादिबोधक.
  • कारक and विभक्ति: कर्ता, कर्म, करण, सम्प्रदान, अपादान, सम्बन्ध, अधिकरण.
  • समास: तत्पुरुष, कर्मधारय, द्विगु, द्वन्द्व, बहुव्रीहि, अव्ययीभाव.
  • सन्धि: स्वर, व्यञ्जन, विसर्ग. काल: वर्तमान, भूत, भविष्यत्. वाच्य: कर्तृ, कर्म, भाव.
  • शब्द来源: तत्सम, तद्भव, आगन्तुक, जनजातीय loanwords.

Worked example

Identify the कारक in: उसले कलमले लेख्यो। Both nouns carry ले. Ask the verb question: who wrote? - उसले, so कर्ता कारक. With what? - कलमले, so करण कारक. The suffix is identical, but the question test decides. Likewise विद्या + आलय = विद्यालय, where आ + आ becomes आ (दीर्घ स्वर सन्धि).

Communication skills

निवेदन र पत्र writing format, paragraph unity, summarising, and oral presentation with correct आदर forms.

Traps that cost marks

  • Assuming one विभक्ति marker equals one कारक.
  • Spelling errors in श/ष/स and in तत्सम words where the Sanskrit form is fixed.
  • Labelling a qualifier-plus-noun compound as द्वन्द्व instead of कर्मधारय.
  • Ignoring आदर: तपाईं takes plural verb agreement.
