Translate the following sentence into Tamil : “Will your luggage be packed before the train’s arrival”?
இரயில் வருவதற்குள் உங்கள் உடமைகள் கட்டப்பட்டுவிடுமா?
The English sentence is a future-tense passive question: the luggage (subject) will receive the action of packing, and the packing must be complete before a future event, the arrival of the train.
The first Tamil sentence uses “rayil varuvatharkul” (before / by the time the train arrives) and the passive completive future “kattappattuvidumaa” (will it have been packed?). It keeps the passive voice, the future time and the question form, so it is a faithful translation.
The sentence beginning “rayilil varumbothu” means “Was your luggage packed while coming in the train?”; it is in the past tense and changes “before the arrival” to “while travelling”. The sentence ending “kattivitteergalaa” is in the active voice and asks “Have you packed your luggage?”, so it changes the voice. The sentence ending in the form printed as “kattapadumaa” tries the simple future passive, but the printed verb lacks the doubled consonant required in “kattappadumaa”, so it is not a correctly formed Tamil sentence.
Only the first sentence is both grammatically correct and faithful to the voice, tense and meaning of the original.
இரயில் வருவதற்குள் உங்கள் உடமைகள் கட்டப்பட்டுவிடுமா? option is correct.
