Difference between Malayalam and English Grammar

How Malayalam And English Grammar Differs
Difference between Malayalam and English Grammar
             
Language is nothing but it is a tool to communicate with people, by combining certain sounds to form some meaningful sentences. Whereas Grammar is something that enables us to use language error-free.

Language can be divided into two, that is Written language ( Varamozhi ) and Spoken language ( Vaamozhi ). like many other languages Malayalam language also has a well-structured grammatical system. 

Today we are going to discuss how English and Malayalam grammar differs. Did you guys ever find it difficult to translate English sentences into Malayalam? I think you definitely did it because we can’t simply translate English into Malayalam. The grammar structure of both languages is entirely different.

The basic structure of the English language is 

 SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT

Whereas in Malayalam it goes like 

 SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB

For example, let us take an example in an English sentence

"I am eating food"

let's see how this sentence will be reorganized in Malayalam. it will be changed like

I am + Food + eating / Njaan (I) bhakshanam(Food) kazhikkunnu (eating)

An embedded sentence is left-branching in Malayalam whereas right-branching in English. So in English, it says 

"He is cutting a jack fruit with a knife"

In Malayalam, it says like

He is + Knife(using) + jack fruit + cutting / Avan(He) kathi(Knife) vach(Using) chakka(jack fruit) murikkunnu(cutting). 

English changes the order of the word and adds rising intonation at the end to indicate a question; at the same time in Malayalam, changes neither the order of the word nor intonation but adds a question mark to the particular word in the sentence being asked.

Many adverbial clauses in which English introduces by a preposition, Malayalam handles with a verbal adverb. Thus, in English we say

"You should not go out until you have taken a bath" 

but in Malayalam, it changes like

"Having taken bath, you should go out"/ Kulichitt purathu poyal mathi
