Using the mind
Kultureller Hintergrund
Malayalis value 'Yukthi' (logic) and 'Chintha' (thought). Public libraries and reading rooms are common places where people gather to think and discuss. The poem 'Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala' by Kumaran Asan is a landmark work that explores the deep, critical thoughts of a woman. The hashtag #ThinkDifferent or its Malayalam equivalent is often used in social activism and progressive movements in Kerala. In Kerala's education system, 'Critical Thinking' is emphasized as 'വിമർശനാത്മക ചിന്ത' (Vimarshanathmaka Chintha).
Opinion vs. Process
Use 'chinthikkunnu' for the process of thinking and 'thonnunnu' for the result/feeling of an opinion.
The 'About' Rule
Never forget to add '-nekkurichu' when thinking about something. 'Njan athu chinthikkunnu' is wrong!

Slang Alert
If you want to sound like a local when you're confused, say 'Ente thala pukayunnu' (My head is smoking) instead of 'I am thinking too much'.
