The Malayalam Error Clinic — Part 4: Thirty Common Errors and the Fix for Each | Learn Malayalam #87
Description
Every learner of Malayalam makes the same mistakes, in the same order, for the same reasons. This class names thirty of them.
For each error you get the mistake, why it happens and the fix. They come in five groups: sounds (the R's, ല and ള, long vowels, flat intonation), the two-verb traps (ഇല്ല vs അല്ല, തരൂ vs കൊടുക്കൂ), sentence structure, social slips, and learner habits such as switching to English. It closes with three principles behind all thirty and a plan you can keep: pick three errors and fix only those for a week.
Words and phrases in this class:
ഇല്ല (illa) – is not there (absence)
അല്ല (alla) – is not (identity)
എനിക്ക് വിശക്കുന്നു (enikku vishakkunnu) – I'm hungry
തരൂ (tharoo) – give (to me)
കൊടുക്കൂ (kodukkoo) – give (to someone else)
കുറച്ച് (kurachu) – a little
കുറെ (kure) – quite a lot
മഴ പെയ്താൽ (mazha peythaal) – if it rains
ആരും വന്നില്ല (aarum vannilla) – nobody came
ഞാൻ ഇറങ്ങട്ടെ (njaan irangatte) – I'll take my leave
ഞാൻ പോയിട്ട് വരാം (njaan poyittu varaam) – I'll go and come back
എന്നോട് മലയാളത്തിൽ സംസാരിക്കാമോ? (ennodu malayaalathil samsaarikkaamo?) – could you speak to me in Malayalam?
സാരമില്ല (saaramilla) – never mind, it is fine
In this class:

• Social errors: നീ, first names, over-thanking and leaving a house
