Kerala Travel in Malayalam: Backwaters, Munnar, Kovalam | Learn Malayalam #301
Description
Kerala is not one destination, it is four. Here is the travel vocabulary you need for each of them, the sentences that actually get answered, and a way of behaving that will change how people treat you.
I am Dr. Reshmi R. Nair, an applied linguist from Kerala. I have taught hundreds of learners to speak Malayalam as it is actually spoken.
1. THE BACKWATERS
കായൽ (kaayal) - the lagoon, a brackish lake system running parallel to the coast
വേമ്പനാട് കായൽ - Vembanad Kayal - the largest
കെട്ടുവള്ളം (kettuvallam) - houseboat, historically a rice barge, from കെട്ടുക (to tie), because the planks were stitched with coir rope rather than nailed
വള്ളം (vallam) - small country boat
ചുണ്ടൻ വള്ളം (chundan vallam) - the snake boat raced at Onam
2. THE HILLS
മൂന്നാർ - Munnar - tea country; the name is മൂന്ന് (moonnu) + ആർ (aar), three rivers
തേയില (theyila) - tea, the leaf; തേയിലത്തോട്ടം (theyilathottam) - tea estate
വയനാട് - Wayanad; തേക്കടി - Thekkady, the Periyar reserve; ആന (aana) - elephant
3. THE COAST
കോവളം Kovalam, വർക്കല Varkala, ബേക്കൽ Bekal
കടൽ (kadal) - the sea; തിര (thira) - a wave; കടൽത്തീരം (kadaltheeram) - beach
4. THE BUILT HERITAGE
ഫോർട്ട് കൊച്ചി Fort Kochi, with its ചീനവല (cheenavala, Chinese fishing nets)
THE SENTENCES THAT GET ANSWERED
ഇവിടെ നിന്ന് ആലപ്പുഴയ്ക്ക് എങ്ങനെ പോകാം? (ivide ninnu aalappuzhaykku engane pokaam?) - how do I get to Alappuzha from here?
ഈ ബോട്ട് എത്ര മണിക്കാണ്? (ee boat ethra manikkaanu?) - what time is this boat?
ടിക്കറ്റ് എവിടെ കിട്ടും? (ticket evide kittum?) - where do I get a ticket?
എത്ര സമയം എടുക്കും? (ethra samayam edukkum?) - how long will it take?
ഇവിടെ അടുത്ത് നല്ല ഭക്ഷണം എവിടെ കിട്ടും? (ivide aduthu nalla bhakshanam evide kittum?) - where can I get good food near here?
Notice കിട്ടും (will be got). Malayalam frames availability, not transaction.
