Abstract
The paper attempts to describe how a word like se of Hindi can be a challenging task to a Machine Translation (MT) system. In most of the literature of Hindi and Urdu, a noun marked with se is assigned instrumental or ablative case. So it is called instrumental and ablative case marker. But a close look at its distribution shows that apart from instrumental and ablative case function, it denotes other functions also and in each of these types, it is translated differently in Tamil.
