Grammar of Kannada — YouTube Summary
ಕನ್ನಡ ಸೊಲ್ಲರಿಮೆ
Author: D. N. Shankara Bhat (ಡಿ. ಎನ್. ಶಂಕರ ಬಟ್) Read by: Malati Bhat Published: Unknown · Pages: Unknown · PDF: Not available Source quality: ⚠️ Mostly garbled live-lecture auto-captions; ~14 of 23 parts unavailable Transcript: youtube/kn/full.md
Source Limitations: No book text (PDF, OCR, or blog) exists for this title. The YouTube transcript is a live-lecture series with heavy ASR errors — the same pattern as Books 06, 10, 11. Content below is based on keyword-level signals from readable fragments only.
Note on Book Identity
ಕನ್ನಡ ಸೊಲ್ಲರಿಮೆ (Grammar of Kannada) is a distinct work from:
- ಕನ್ನಡ ಬರಹದ ಸೊಲ್ಲರಿಮೆ — Book 07 (7 vols, Grammar of Kannada Writing, PDFs available)
- ಇದು ಕನ್ನಡದ್ದೇ ವ್ಯಾಕರಣ — Book 01 (2021 single-volume consolidation of Book 07)
The omission of “baraha” (writing) from the title may indicate this is an earlier or more general grammar covering both spoken and written Kannada, or a popular/shorter presentation. The precise relationship to Books 01 and 07 cannot be determined without the text.
This YouTube series was previously mis-shelved inside Book 07’s folder; it has been moved here as a separate entry.
Overview
This YouTube lecture series presents DNS Bhat’s Kannada grammar in 23 parts (P1, P2, and Parts 1–21), read by his daughter Malati Bhat. The content is consistent with Bhat’s broader grammar framework — native Kannada terminology, Dravidian-first analysis, rejection of Sanskrit-imposed categories. However, the auto-caption quality is poor throughout, limiting content recovery to keyword signals.
