How do you say my son in Malayalam?

Answer 1

my= ente,( pronounced- ende," e" in Malayalam pronounced as e in word 'hen'))

son= makan ( pronounced- magan, " a" in Malayalam pronounced as u in word 'fun')

also= putran (t pronounced as th or technically the Dental t )

"my son" as a sentence spoken as "ente makan" or "ente putran"

[colloquially **pronounced moan ( in moan 'oa' as in English word 'foam') ]

if you are calling your son...it shall be,ente makaneh!! or ente moaneh!! or ente putraa!!...or simply

makanehh!! or moaneh!! or putraa!!

Further reading.

**-In the spoken Malayalam, the sounds like , ka, cha, ta(Retroflex), ta (similar to tha, ie Dental), pa, will be softened to ga, dja, da (Retroflex), da (similar to dtha ie Dental), ba...if used in the middle of a word.

eg: makan- softened to magan, further to moan.

But ka, cha, ta, tha, pa appear same as it is, if used at the start of a word or in multipple letters

eg: paal (milk), pronounced same as paal

kaakka (crow), with multiple letter k, even though at the middle of a word pronounced as same " kaak-ka
