意思
The act of falling ill with a fever.
文化背景
Fever is often attributed to 'thannuppu' (coldness). People avoid bathing in cold water or eating curd when they feel a fever 'coming'. The standard meal for someone with a fever is 'Kanji' (rice gruel) with 'Cherupayar' (green gram) and 'Muthira' (horse gram) water. In Kerala, 'Pani' is a very strong and unquestioned reason for taking a day off. It is socially more acceptable than 'mental health days'. The 'Karkidakam' month (July-August) is known as the season of fevers due to heavy rains. Special medicinal porridges (Oushadha Kanji) are prepared to prevent 'Pani'.
The Dative Rule
Always use 'Enikku', 'Avanu', 'Avalkku' with 'Pani'. Never use 'Njan'.
The 'N' Trap
Be careful with 'Pani' vs 'Paṇi'. One needs a doctor, the other needs a boss!

Sound Natural
Instead of 'Enikku pani vannu', you can just say 'Paniyanu' (It's fever) for a quicker response.
The Kanji Connection
If you tell a Malayali you have 'Pani', expect them to offer you rice gruel (Kanji). It's a sign of care.
