Exercise 38 Verbal forms of Irregular Passive Voice :
The Verbal form which is formed by adding ijja or ia/iya suffix to the Transitive Verbs in Prāksta is known as the Regular Verbal form of the Passive Voice. As, kara + ijja = karijja, kara + iya/ia : kariya/ karia, are the Regular Verbal forms of the Passive Voice, since they are formed by adding ijja or ia/iya to the verb Kara. By adding the suffixes of Tense, Person and Number to the above constructed Verbal forms, the regular Passive Voice of that Tense, Person and Number will result, as, Karijjai or Kariyai/Kariai - Present Tense Third Person Singular Number.
On the contrary, the Verbal form which is obtained without adding ijja or iya/ia to the Transitive Verbs and in which the suffixes of Tense, Person and Number are inherently present, is known as the Irregular Verbal form of the Passive Voice, as, 1. Kirai, Disai etc. - Verbal forms of the Irregular Passive Voice
