Sanskrit dhatu - verb roots.
Understanding root words (dhatus) builds the ability to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words from their components. Students who learn dhatu forms develop productive vocabulary — they can create and decode words they have never seen, rather than only recognising words they have memorised.
1. Write dhatu: path. 2. Add prefix a. 3. Add suffix. 4. Find 5 derived words. 5. Try 2 more dhatus.
