Narration
You know the trip is over, but saying "I went" in Telugu can feel tricky because the verb itself changes. Start with nEnu, meaning "I," then name the place, and finish with veLLaanu: "I went." The key flip is veLLu, "go," becoming veLLaanu with the past ending -aanu. So, "I went to school" is nEnu school-ki veLLaanu. For work, nEnu office-ki veLLaanu. Remember: nEnu, place, veLLaanu-when you talk about that trip, that means "I went."
