Recall drills — 126 more questions from the B1 words

These 126 drills are generated from the Tamil B1 vocabulary list — the words of “Health and Professional Life” through “Society and Culture”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word). They re-ask what the course data already contains; no answer here was written by a machine, and a generated drill is practice, never a lesson.

Tamil B1 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Tamil B1 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

A Tamil meal is built around rice, and the banana leaf is its plate: rice in the middle, sambar and rasam poured over it in that order, poriyal and kootu along the side, and a piece of appalam to finish. Filter coffee — காபி, frothed between two tumblers until it foams — ends the meal and the argument that came with it. The kitchens differ by district: Chettinad cooks with pepper and fennel, Madurai with more chilli, Chennai's streets with idli and dosa at every hour. Food vocabulary is also the vocabulary of hospitality: சாப்பிட்டீர்களா? is a question about wellbeing, not only about lunch.

Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Tamil cuisine”.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: At the weekend friends came home. Mother served rice on a banana leaf; first sambar, then rasam. My friend Karthik eats very spicy Chettinad style. 'The taste is different here,' he said. At the end the coffee came; father asked: 'Another tumbler?' We went on talking for half an hour. After the meal mother said: 'Eating at home is not just rice, it is memory.'

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged ta-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: Have you eaten? — Yes, I have eaten, thank you. — A little more rice? — That is enough, my stomach is full. I will only drink coffee.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• அம்மா சோறு பரிமாறினார் ஒரு இலையில். → அம்மா ஒரு இலையில் சோறு பரிமாறினார். The finite verb closes the clause; the adverbial phrase stays before it.
• நான் ஒரு தம்ளர் காபி குடித்தேன் விரைவாக. → நான் ஒரு தம்ளர் காபியை விரைவாகக் குடித்தேன். The object marked by -ஐ stays next to the verb it belongs to.
• சாப்பிட்டீர்களா? — ஆமா, சாப்பிட்டேன். → சாப்பிட்டீர்களா? — ஆமாம், சாப்பிட்டேன். ஆமாம் is the written form; ஆமா belongs to speech.

Your task

விருந்துக்கு நன்றி Write a short account of a meal you remember: who cooked, what was served, one comparison between two kitchens or two cooks, and a closing sentence with a proverb-like comment. Use two relative participles (நான் சாப்பிட்ட பிரியாணி), one comparative with -ஐ விட (சாம்பார் ரசத்தை விட காரம்) and one reported speech with என்று. Read it aloud and mark every place where you would shorten the word in speech.

After B1: the B1+ checkpoint

B1+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Tamil B1 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at B1+ when you can work in the language, argue a point politely. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B2 pages.
