We learned this week about the 5 rules when it comes to the letter र.
रू, रु
When the small “o” and long “oo” madras are emptied, they are never at the bottom of र. Rather on its side. Long “oo” has a look involved while, small “o” doesn’t not
क्र, श्र
When making a half (र) you make a line at the bottom of the letters you want to emply a short (र) sound to.
पर्वत
You only make this sign in the middle of 2 letters. This makes a small (र) sound
ट्र, ड्र
It gives a “tra” sound to the letter.
कृ, नृ
When wanting to make a “ri” sound on a letter you make a swoop at the bottom of the letter to emply the “ri” sound.
Homework:
Write 5 sentences in total, 1 sentence for each rule.
