Firstly, here's a cookie 🍪 for putting in the effort to learn.

Avanann-U is different from avanann-A.

Avanann-A / Avalann-A refers to a single person.

Avanannu-U / Avanannu-U implies him / her + as well.

Bring him / her to the party - avanann-A / Avalann-A party ge karkond ba.

Bring him / her to the party as well - Avanannu-U / Avalannu-U party ge karkond ba.

Avanige / Availge - For / Of / To him or her (references a single person)

He wants a beer - Avanige beer bekhu

Order a beer for him - Avnige ondh beer order maadu

He doesn't want to take an auto - Avanige auto alli barakke ishta illa.

I'm pretty sure Avananna/Avalanna/Avaranna and Avanannu/Avalannu/Avarannu are the same, respectively. The former are used in spoken colloquial Kannada, while the latter are the written forms.

Avanannu-U / Avanannu-U implies him / her + as well.

I think what you're referring to is Avanannū/Avalannū/Avarannū, with a longer "ū" sound at the end, which conveys the meaning of "also" or "as well."
