    renu...
    "avide " is used for there...
    "ivide" is used for here..
    what is "avideyam"?...i guess its "avideyum"...and "ivideyum"...it is used when relating both here and there
    "avideyum"...is used for "there too"/ "there also"...
    "ivideyum"...is used for "here too" / "here also"...

    hope i didnt confuse...do let me know if u want more clarification on this.

    Mega ....I can say we are learning for earning some ....so my motivation as I said common language at home ...so that our kids can listen and speak one language thoroughly and later whatever they want to learn ..they are free to do..
