അഭിവാദനങ്ങളും മര്യാദയും
German splits 'you' into du (informal) and Sie (formal) — a distinction Malayalam speakers already navigate with nee vs. ningal. Start here before any other vocabulary.
Numbers 1–10
സംഖ്യകൾ 1–10
Malayalam numbers past ten are built by joining smaller number-words together — a habit German shares too, though the pieces get assembled in a different order.
Family
കുടുംബം
German nouns carry grammatical gender (der/die/das). Malayalam doesn't attach gender to nouns either, but its third-person pronouns for people track the same male/female distinction German expresses through articles.
Sentence Structure
വാക്യഘടന
German sentence structure shares more with Malayalam than with English, once you know where to look — and one place it doesn't match reveals something distinctive about Malayalam itself.
