描述
Animal names in Malayalam — the farmyard, the forest, the birds and the ones nobody invited — plus the one dog word that will get you into trouble. 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. THE FARMYARD പശു (pashu) - cow കാള (kaala) - bull, ox എരുമ (eruma) - buffalo ആട് (aadu) - goat കോഴി (kozhi) - chicken താറാവ് (thaaraavu) - duck പന്നി (panni) - pig കുതിര (kuthira) - horse പൂച്ച (poocha) - cat THE TWO WORDS FOR DOG — BE CAREFUL നായ (naaya) - dog, the neutral and slightly literary word പട്ടി (patti) - dog, the ordinary spoken word, and a serious insult when used of a person Use നായ (naaya) when in doubt. THE WILD ONES മൃഗം (mrugam) - animal ആന (aana) - elephant കടുവ (kaduva) - tiger പുലി (puli) - leopard കരടി (karadi) - bear കുരങ്ങ് (kurangu) - monkey കാട്ടുപന്നി (kaattupanni) - wild boar അണ്ണാൻ (annaan) - squirrel പാമ്പ് (paambu) - snake മൂർഖൻ (moorkhan) - cobra THE BIRDS പക്ഷി (pakshi) - bird കിളി (kili) - a small bird, also an affectionate word for a person കാക്ക (kaakka) - crow കുയിൽ (kuyil) - the koel, whose call is the sound of the hot season മീൻകൊത്തി (meenkothi) - kingfisher, literally fish-pecker വേഴാമ്പൽ (vezhaambal) - the great hornbill, the state bird of Kerala THE UNWELCOME കൊതുക് (kothuku) - mosquito ഉറുമ്പ് (urumbu) - ant ചിലന്തി (chilanthi) - spider പല്ലി (palli) - the house gecko, harmless, lucky, and it eats mosquitoes അട്ട (atta) - the leech, a certainty in the Ghats in the monsoon TWO SENTENCES TO CARRY ഇവിടെ ആന ഉണ്ടോ? (ivide aana undo?) - are there elephants here? ആ പക്ഷിയുടെ പേരെന്താണ്? (aa pakshiyude perenthaanu?) - what is that bird called? Which animal name in your language sounds nothing like Malayalam?
