Morphological Information
Tulu is an agglutinative language, similarly to most Dravidian languages. The following is taken directly from the Tulu language wiki page.
Tulu has five parts of speech: nouns (substantives and adjectives), pronouns, numerals, verbs, and particles.
Substantives have three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), two numbers (singular and plural), and eight cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, ablative or instrumental, communicative, and vocative). According to Bhat, Tulu has two distinct locative cases. The communicative case is used with verbs like tell, speak, ask, beseech, inquire, and denotes at whom a message, an inquiry, or a request is aimed, as in "I told him." or "I speak to them." It is also used to denote the relationship with whom it is about, in a context like "I am on good terms with him." or "I have nothing against him." The plural suffix is -rŭ, -ḷu, -kuḷu, or -āḍḷu. The nominative case is unmarked, while the remaining cases are expressed by different suffixes.
