Direct & Indirect Speech (நேர்க்கூற்றும், அயற்கூற்றும்)


ஒருவர் கூறும் வார்த்தைகளை நாம் இரு வழிகளில் வெளிப்படுத்தலாம் அவை
1) நேர்க்கூற்று (Direct speech) 
ii) அயற்கூற்று (Indirect speech)

i) Direct Speech (நேர்க்கூற்று)

நேர்க்கூற்று என்பது ஒருவர் கூறிய வார்த்தைகளை அப்படியே கூறுவதாகும். அவ்வார்த்தைகள் மேற்கோள்
குறிகளுக்கிடையில் எழுதப்பட்டு இருக்கும்.
When we quote the actual words of a speaker, is called direct speech.

எ.கா: The boy said to me, "My father is a doctor".
இதில் The boy said to me என்பது மேற்கோள் குறிகள் இல்லாத பகுதி. இவற்றை Reporting sentence
அல்லது Non-quotated sentence என்று அழைப்பர்
"My father is a doctor" என்பது மேற்கோள் குறிகள் உள்ள பகுதி, இவற்றை Reported sentence அல்லது
Quotated sentence என்று அழைப்பர்

ii) Indirect Speech (அயற்கூற்று)

அயற்கூற்று என்பது ஒருவர் கூறிய வார்த்தைகளை அப்படியே கூறாமல், கருத்தை மட்டும் எவ்வித
மாற்றமில்லாமல் கூறுவதாகும். இதில் மேற்கோள் குறிகள் இருக்காது.
When we report the substance of what one said without quoting his exact words, it is called indirect
speech. It has no quotation marks.

எ.கா: The boy told me that his father was a doctor.
