Ayubowan! Today we will be learning how to express the idea of ‘as much as possible’.
Let’s jump in with the first example:
I’m not as tall as you.
Mama oyaa tharam usa næ.
මම ඔයා තරම් උස නැ.
When making a statement that would use “as”, we use the phrase
tharam/තරම්. In the following examples, we will see some combinations of
tharam and other words that we can use to express different ideas.
As much as possible
You should study as much as possible.
Oyaa hæki tharam igennaganna one.
ඔයා හැකි තරම් ඉගෙන ගත ඕනේ.
Hæki is a form of “can do”. When combined with tharam, it means
‘as much as can be done’.
As much as wanted
Eat as much rice as you want.
Oyata ona tharam bath kanna.
ඔයට ඕන තරම් බත් කන්න.
As much as needed
Drink as much water as you need.
Oyata æthi tharam wathura bonna.
ඔයට ඇතයි තරම් වතුර බොන්න.
