Malayalam, a language of God's own country! Options

[Nimii]

I always found Malayalam a sweet language. It is a bit sing a song when spoken.

It is an interesting thing to note that most of the south indian languages have lot of words with a bit of change in the sound so similar. Dr.Unni what does thou have to say here?

Could not write concede in Malayalam, eh?
Oh well neither can I. Vittutarunnu? Vittukodukkunnu? Not official terminology that. What would round be? Vattom!!!!
But this round wunly? Pishukan aanu alle?
Enikkittu--literally 'for me'--colloquially enikkittu vechittundu would be 'he has it in store for me'.
Guru ko pranam karo bete.
Oops! Mashene namaskarikyu mone Unni!!!!

PS: Unni aren't we a pitiful pair of Mallus keeping the flag flying and the torch burning and all that?

"Vittutarunnu" and "Vittukodukkunnu" would both pass. Think so also "vattom" --- for example a meal course is called "vattom". But I would've used "enikku vendi" --- am not familiar with "enikkittu". Hope Shyam or Lata will clarify.

BTW, isn't "maashu" masculine gender? At least in commonly spoken language, I think the English word "teacher" is usually used to denote a female instructor.

I once said to a Malayalam expert that there is no word in the language for "snow". He pulled out a huge dictionary and came up with some words, not of them very convincing! Words like 'pani' (pronounced the same as the word for 'fever') which means dew/mist.

P.S. In my case the flag-flying will be at half-mast.

Dunno about 'vattom' excatly for round like in a boxing match. Might pass. But 'enikkittu' is fine. Colloquial as I said. Easy speaking.

Ya masha is usually a man but equality ka zamana hai.
Oh I hate the usage teachereeee. Time the vocabulary was enhanced.

Dew is mannja right? Can hima be used for snow or is that sanskrit in origin? Me getting deeper into the mire with my guesses.

Why is that?
