🎥 5 words + eyebrows = every question you’ll ever need.
Five little words unlock every conversation: what, where, when, how, who. Master these and you can be curious in Malayalam forever.
Today’s phrases
| Say it | Script | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Entha? | എന്താ? | What? |
| Evide? | എവിടെ? | Where? |
| Eppo? | എപ്പോ? | When? |
| Engane? | എങ്ങനെ? | How? |

These work alone! Someone shows you something: 'Entha?' Someone's going somewhere: 'Evide?' Phone rings: 'Aaraa?' Malayalis run entire conversations on single question words plus eyebrows. The eyebrows are mandatory.
