Abstract :
The paper deals with the transfer of finite verb structure from Tamil to Hindi using a rule-based approach in a machine translation system. This task is challenging as it involves the transfer of more grammatical information apart from lexical transfer and also because of the highly inflectional nature of finite verb morphology in Tamil compared to Hindi.
