اشتباهات رایج

You must add the 'o' suffix to indicate a question. Without it, it sounds like a statement.

Wrong: Sugam?
صحیح: Sugamano?

Nanni is sufficient on its own. Adding 'you' is redundant and not natural in Malayalam.

Wrong: Nanni you
صحیح: Nanni

Namaskaram is very formal. Use 'Hai' or 'Hello' for close friends.

Wrong: Namaskaram to a friend
صحیح: Namaskaram is for elders/strangers
