In a sentence
தன் முயற்சி வெற்றியாகி அவருக்கு மகிழ்ச்சியளித்தது.
His effort succeeded and brought him joy.
In this sentence, 'தன்' translates to 'his', and it functions as a possessive pronoun indicating ownership or relation.
நான் ரொட்டி தின்றேன்.
I ate bread.
Here, 'தின்றேன்' includes the 'த', as part of the verb denoting past tense consumption, specifically 'ate'.
அவன் அழுதது நம் அனைவரையும் வருந்த வைத்தது.
His crying made all of us feel sorrow.
In this case, 'அழுதது' incorporates 'த' to transform the verb 'cry' into its past tense noun 'crying'.
