Thokaanilaith Thodar can be generally explained as the opposite of Thokainilaith Thodar where some words remain concealed. So the Thokaanilaith Thodar is a simple explicit expression. Case - marker, tence - marker etc., are clearly visible in Thokaanilaith Thodar. And it is of nine kinds as

Vettumaith Thokaanilaith Thodar, Ezhuvaaith Thodar, Vilith Thodar, Vinaimuttuth Thodar, Peyarechath Thodar, Vinaiechath Thodar, Idaichottodar, Urichottodar, Adukkuth Thodar.

Of these the last eight are called Alvazhith Thokaanilaith Thodar, that which is other than Vettumaith Thokaanilaith Thodar.

Ezhuvaaith Thodar reveals the importance of the subject such as Kamban Paadinaan. If the order of the words is changed it becomes Paadinaan Kamban and the verb gains prominence and it is called Vinaimuttuth Thodar.

A verb, in its incomplete form, is in need of a noun to express a complete sense. For example, vanda manithan. This is called Peyarecham. This incomplete verb can be of any tense, past, present and future.

Another type of an incomplete verb needs another verb to fua0214lfil its function, like vandhu thirumbinaan. This is known as Vinaiecham. This needs two verbs, the first incomplete and the second is a finite one.

Of the eight cases the first is called Ezhuvaai Vettumai and hence Ezhuvaaith Thodar (Nominative); the eighth is Vilivettumai and so Vilith Thodar(vocative).

Idaichottodar and Urichottodar are not isolatory and they depend on and go along with Peyarchol and Vinaichol.

A noun or a verb may be repeated to indicate urgency, fear, pathos etc., For example: Paambu Paambu and Varuka Varuka. There is always repetition and never used singly. This is called Adukkuth Thodar.
