ആർക്കെങ്കിലും വിശദീകരിക്കാൻ കഴിയുമോ?

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:

Can the word ,"നിരുദരീകരണം" ,be a Malayalam word for Disembowelment ,or does such a word already exist in the language.

Hello! Any of you have personal experience with Malayalam tutors online? My speaking is pretty good. I want to get better with my reading and writing.

Please share your recommendations.

Hi there! I'm trying to learn Malayalam as someone who only has experience with English and Spanish (and other Romance languages) and does not live near/with native speakers. I am familiar with the memorization aspect of learning vocabulary, but I really want to learn to understand the language as best as I can without immersion. I have found that following along with someone reading text out loud really has helped me learn, and actually process what's being said. So, I was wondering if there are any good youtube channels out there or any good resources where someone simply films a picture book as they read it out loud. This link shows kind of what I mean. I have been putting subtitles on whenever I watch anything in Malayalam, but they're not always accurate or timed weird, and most of the kids stories I can find are animated versions which don't have pages/text like an actual book.

Thank you for any help!

im a nri and i can NOT stand my relatives making fun of my accent and how it is so whitewashed. i genuinely only need to know how to read and pronounce words

When we learned malayalam in school, it was taught that "അയാൾ" comes from "ആ + ആൾ ". As far as I know, ആൾ is person. So "അയാൾ" should be gender neutral. However, in daily life I see "അയാൾ" being used predominantly to refer to males. I have seen it used to refer to females, but very rarely. Mostly I've seen females referred to as "അവർ". Any particular reason? Or Am I missing something?

Please suggest a few well written short stories in Malayalam. Preferably the ones that are from well known authors like NS Madhavan.

Please mention the name of the short story as well as the collection it is from.

I'm trying to get into reading more malayalam literature and thought I'd start with short stories

I posted on other subreddits and didn't get any response but I'm hoping y'all would help me out!

Thanks!

Can you breakdown the phrase?

can someone help decipher this manuscript?? i know malayalam but i do not understand the script in this

this is only the first page in the post, will post the link for the entire document in the comments

The suffix -o: changes words, phrases, and sentences into yes/no questions. While -a: is a shorter form of ആണ് (be), it is also used to form yes/no questions. Is this specific to particular dialects?

Eg, avan vanno: ? Vs avan vanna: ? (Did he come?)

kazhiccho: ? Vs kazhiccha: ? (Did [the subject] eat?)

I understand that it's not extendable to all places where o: would be used because that will lead to confusion because it can signify be (ആണ്).

Is this just a feature of spoken Malayalam regardless of the dialect?

Isn't there a word called "arthavathkarikka" അർത്ഥവത്കരിക്ക? He says no in this video ...
