Malayalam Subject Pronouns
Here is a table of Malayalam Subject Pronouns, their pronunciation, and English translations:
| Malayalam | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ഞാൻ (njaan) | ɲ̻ãːn | I (singular) |
| നീ (nee) | niː | You (singular) |
| അവൻ (avan) | əʋən | He/It (singular masculine) |
| അവൾ (aval) | əʋəɭ | She/It (singular feminine) |
| അത് (ath) | ət̪ʰ | It (singular neutral) |

| അവരുടെ (avaruṭe) | əʋɾuʈe | They (plural) |
When using subject pronouns in sentences, it is essential to note that they come at the beginning of a sentence or a clause.
Using Subject Pronouns in Malayalam Sentences
Let's take an example sentence - "I am a student." In Malayalam, this sentence would be "നാൻ ഒരു വിദ്യാർത്ഥി ആണ് (njaan oru vidyaarthi aanu)."
Here, the subject pronoun "നാൻ (njaan)" refers to the speaker and comes at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the rest of the sentence.
Similarly, you can practice using other subject pronouns in different contexts and build simple sentences of your own. For example:
- നീ വിദ്യാർത്ഥിയാണ്. (nee vidyaarthiyāṇ)
* You are a student.
- അവൻ പൈലറ്റാണ്. (avaṇ pailṟṟāṇ)
* He is a pilot.
- അവൾ ഓഫീസ് അറിയുകയുണ്ട്. (aval ōphīs ariyukayuṇṭ)
* She knows the way to the office.
- നാം മലയാളികൾ ആണ്. (naam malayāḷikaḷ āṇ)
* We are Malayalis (Malayalam speakers).
Conclusion
In conclusion, subject pronouns are a crucial part of Malayalam language structure. They are used to refer to the person or thing that performs the action in a sentence. Practice using subject pronouns in simple sentences to become more proficient in basic sentence formations. In the next lesson, we will focus on understanding word order in Malayalam sentences.
