Today’s phrases
| Say it | Script | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Sahayikkoo! | സഹായിക്കൂ! | Help! |
| Doctor venam | ഡോക്ടർ വേണം | I need a doctor |
| Hospital evide? | ഹോസ്പിറ്റൽ എവിടെ? | Where's the hospital? |
| Vedana undu | വേദന ഉണ്ട് | It hurts / there's pain |

'Pani' means fever - but in slang it also means 'trouble/a mess'. 'Enikku pani undu' = I have a fever. 'Avan pani aanu' = he is trouble. 'Pani kitti' = got into a mess. Context saves you; Malayalis will enjoy explaining the difference at length.
