Enikku sugamillaഎനിക്ക് സുഖമില്ലI'm not feeling well
Kuzhappamilla, ellaam sheriyaakumകുഴപ്പമില്ല, എല്ലാം ശരിയാകുംIt's okay, everything will be alright
🔊 Hear it spoken — tap play, repeat out loud
💡 The sentence that comforts

'Ellaam sheriyaakum' (everything will be alright) is what Malayali mothers say while making you tea you didn't ask for. Learn to say it warmly - to others and to yourself. It pairs perfectly with 'Pedikkanda' for an instant two-line therapy session.

Mini dialogue — act it out

Friend: Enthu patti? Mukham vaadi?
What happened? Face looks down?

You: Onnum illa... kurachu kshenam.
Nothing... bit tired.

Friend: Chaaya kudikku. Ellaam sheriyaakum, ketto?
Drink tea. All will be well, okay?

You: (smiling) Nanni. Santhosham aayi.
Thanks. That made me happy.

Today’s task
