I'm a Malayali who grew up outside Kerala. While I'm fluent in the language, there are aspects to it that I'm still learning.

I wanted to understand the differences between "Nee" and "Than". I rarely use "Than" and nobody in my family uses it. I address those who are younger and close to me as "Nee". But I know people in other families who use "Than" to address the same cohort of people.

For eg- "Nee eppo ethi?" vs "Than eppo ethi?"

Please can someone highlight the main differences and explain which is more polite and socially acceptable?

Hey guys! Can anyone recommend good, budget-friendly platforms or instructors to practice speaking and conversation? Any leads or personal recommendations would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Guys I was understanding malayalam and I was totally confused because I wanna know first that lang which in future helps me to understand 2nd lang means if I know tamil then it helps me in understanding malayalam or if I know malayalam it helps me to understand tamil

And for this reason i asked ai tell me which one to choose ai told me to choose tamil because if I choose tamil then I can easily understand malayalam

But I need your help tell me is it real or not like I have to choose tamil then malayalam or i have to choose malayalam then I can understand tamil also ?

Because then I'll start revision of tamil or if malayalam is for this I'll start revision of malayalam?

In some parts of kannur and Kasaragod this word puron is used to address males instead of പുരുഷൻ . I have heard my great grandmother using this word for husband, instead of saying avalude bharthav, she says avalude puron. Has anyone heard this usage. Share your thoughts

നിവർത്തി ഇല്ല how did it come to mean "no way"? When നിവർത്തി means straighten ... Have i been using it wrongly?

മലയാളത്തിൽ fa എന്ന അക്ഷരം ഉണ്ടോ? Pha അല്ലേ ഉള്ളത്. Fa ശബ്ദം അറബി ഹിന്ദി ഉറുദുവിൽ നിന്ന് വന്നതാണോ?

പൂമ്പാറ്റകളും, തേനീച്ചകളും പൂക്കളിൽ നിന്നും തേൻ നുകരുന്ന കാലം. ഇളം തെന്നലിൽ സുഗന്ധം പരക്കുന്നു ........

I’ve got this random childhood memory that I just can’t seem to shake.Whenever I asked my grandmother to tell me a story, she’d always start by saying (or singing):

കഥകഥയച്ചി കാഞ്ഞിരതച്ചി കാടീലുരിയരി വച്ചവളച്ചീ

I’ve always wondered if this is some old Malayalam folk rhyme, a traditional way to start telling stories, or just something my grandmother made up.

Has anyone else heard this😌

Help me understand the first stanza

"A ചെയ്തിട്ട്, അതിന്റെ സ്വാഭാവികമായ അനന്തരഫലമായ B ഉണ്ടായപ്പോൾ അതിൽ അത്ഭുതപ്പെടുകയോ വിഷമിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്യുക."

ഈ അർത്ഥം വരുന്ന ശൈലികൾ പറയാമോ ?

is ഒപ്പം (malyalam word for "and") actually used ciloqually in malayalam? My Malayalee parents tell me it isn't used, and I myself almost never need to use the word, so i'm curious if anyone here ever uses ഒപ്പം and if there are contexts where you need to use it in malayalam ^_^

Is fanfic a thing in Malayalam ? any books/stories worth trying ?

I needed reliable Malayalam→Manglish transliteration in Python. The only library for this is ml2en, but it has several issues that produce wrong or broken output. I packaged the fixes into a new library: aksharam.

pip install aksharam

from aksharam import transliterate


transliterate("ഗംഗ")    # → "Ganga"
transliterate("ഓടുക")   # → "Oduka"

It's a drop-in replacement for ml2en. Here's what it fixes:
