Abstract

Grammatically, words are divided into four categories namely noun, verb, interjection and adjective. Among these, the noun and the verb are independent active morpheme. Interjections and adjectives do not function separately.. Tolkappiyar writes as morpheme which depend on the interjection, adjective, noun and verb. Although interjections and adjectives are not stand-alone adjectives, they can be considered as adjectives that change the general meaning of nouns and verbs in some places. We can identify some significant grammatical elements through the narrators of Sangam literature such as Tolkappiyam. Also, we can learn the grammatical elements of some words only through commentaries. In this way, this article highlights the arrival of adjectives found in the of Commentator U. V. Saminathaiyar’s Kurunthogai, Iynkurunooru and Purananooru commentaries, and their method of finding meaning.
