In Malayalam grammar, we use different words to negate something based on the tense, case and number of the sentence. There are different words for negation in the present tense, past tense, and imperative forms.
| ഞാൻ കഴിയില്ല || nān kazhiyilla || I cannot
|}


The particle അല്ല (all) can also be used to make a statement negative without changing the verb. For example:
The word "അല്ല" (alla) is used for negation in the present tense. For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

| അവൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല || avan kazhiyunnil(a) || He's not eating

| അത് നിങ്ങളുടെ ആളുകളുടെ അല്ല || atu ningalude ālukaleude alla || That is not yours
| പഠിക്കാതെ സമയം ചിലവാക്കുക || padhikkkaathe samayam chilaavaakku || Don't spend time studying
|}
|}


It is also possible to make a statement negative by using the particle മില്ലാതെ (millaathe). This particle is used to negate a statement without changing the verb. For example:
For negation in the past tense, the word "ഇല്ല" (illa) is used. For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

| ഞാൻ പോയില്ല || njaan poyilla || I didn't go

| അവൻ കഴിയില്ല || avan kazhiyilla || He didn't eat
|-
|-
| അത് നിങ്ങളുടെ ആളുകളുടെ മില്ലാതെ || atu ningalude ālukaleude millaathe || That is not yours
| പഠിക്കാനില്ലാതെ സമയം ചിലവാക്കുക || padhikkaanillaathe samayam chilaavaakku || Don't spend time without studying
|}
|}


It is important to note that the particle അല്ല (all) is used to make a statement negative, while the particle മില്ലാതെ (millaathe) is used to negate a statement.
In the imperative form, we use the word "വേണ്ട" (vente) to negate sentences. For example:
 
Negation can also be used to ask questions. To do this, the particle അല്ല (all) is placed at the end of the sentence. For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| പഠിക്കുക തിരിച്ചു പോകരുത് || padhikkuka thiricchu pokaaruth || Don't go without studying
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ കഴിയും || ningal kazhiyum || You can
|-
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ കഴിയില്ലാ || ningal kazhiyillaa || Can you not?
| കഴിയാത്തതു വെറുക്കുക || kazhiyaathathu verukkuka || Make sure you don't spoil it
|}
|}


Negation can also be used to make requests. To do this, the particle താഴെ (thāzhe) is placed at the end of the sentence. For example:
==Negation of Nouns==
 
When negating statements about nouns, the negation follows the same pattern as verbs. We use the same words for negating nouns in different tenses, numbers and cases. Let's see some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| അത് കൂടിയില്ല || athu koodiyilla || That is not a room
|-
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ കഴിയും || ningal kazhiyum || You can
| അവൻ കണ്ടില്ല || avan kaNdiilla || He didn't see
|-
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ കഴിയില്ലാതെ താഴെ || ningal kazhiyillaathe thāzhe || Won't you please?
| സൂര്യനോക്കത്തിൽ കളിക്കാതെ പഠിക്കുക || sooryanoKKathil kaLikkathe padhikkuka || Don't play while looking at the sun
|}
|}


Negation can also be used to express surprise or disbelief. To do this, the particle എന്താ (enthā) is placed at the end of the sentence. For example:
==Dialogue==
Let's see a dialogue where negation is used:


{| class="wikitable"
* Person 1: പഠിച്ചു നോക്കുകയാണല്ലോ? (Padhichu noKKukaayaNallo?) (Have you studied?)
|-
* Person 2: പഠിക്കാൻ സമയം കിട്ടിയില്ല. (Padhikkaan samayam kittiyilla) (I didn't get time to study.)
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ കഴിയും || ningal kazhiyum || You can
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ കഴിയില്ലാതെ എന്താ || ningal kazhiyillaathe enthā || You can't?
|}

Malayalam Grammar - Negation

Hi Malayalam learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will be discussing negation in Malayalam grammar. This is an intermediate level lesson, so if you're a beginner in Malayalam, make sure you have a good grasp of basic grammar rules before diving into this lesson. Once you're comfortable with basic grammar, understanding negative forms will be a piece of cake! Don't worry, we will do our best to make this topic as easy as possible for you. 😀


Don't hesitate to look into these other pages after completing this lesson: Malayalam Grammar → Basic Sentence Structure → Present Tense ..., Future Tense, Past Tense Verbs & Direct and Indirect Speech.

Negation[edit | edit source]

In Malayalam grammar, we use different words to negate something based on the tense, case and number of the sentence. There are different words for negation in the present tense, past tense, and imperative forms.

The word "അല്ല" (alla) is used for negation in the present tense. For example:

Malayalam Pronunciation English
ഞാൻ പോകുന്നില്ല njaan pOkunnil(a) I'm not going
അവൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല avan kazhiyunnil(a) He's not eating
പഠിക്കാതെ സമയം ചിലവാക്കുക padhikkkaathe samayam chilaavaakku Don't spend time studying

For negation in the past tense, the word "ഇല്ല" (illa) is used. For example:

Malayalam Pronunciation English
ഞാൻ പോയില്ല njaan poyilla I didn't go
അവൻ കഴിയില്ല avan kazhiyilla He didn't eat
പഠിക്കാനില്ലാതെ സമയം ചിലവാക്കുക padhikkaanillaathe samayam chilaavaakku Don't spend time without studying

In the imperative form, we use the word "വേണ്ട" (vente) to negate sentences. For example:

Malayalam Pronunciation English
പഠിക്കുക തിരിച്ചു പോകരുത് padhikkuka thiricchu pokaaruth Don't go without studying
കഴിയാത്തതു വെറുക്കുക kazhiyaathathu verukkuka Make sure you don't spoil it

Negation of Nouns[edit | edit source]

When negating statements about nouns, the negation follows the same pattern as verbs. We use the same words for negating nouns in different tenses, numbers and cases. Let's see some examples:

Malayalam Pronunciation English
അത് കൂടിയില്ല athu koodiyilla That is not a room
അവൻ കണ്ടില്ല avan kaNdiilla He didn't see
സൂര്യനോക്കത്തിൽ കളിക്കാതെ പഠിക്കുക sooryanoKKathil kaLikkathe padhikkuka Don't play while looking at the sun

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Let's see a dialogue where negation is used:

  • Person 1: പഠിച്ചു നോക്കുകയാണല്ലോ? (Padhichu noKKukaayaNallo?) (Have you studied?)
  • Person 2: പഠിക്കാൻ സമയം കിട്ടിയില്ല. (Padhikkaan samayam kittiyilla) (I didn't get time to study.)

Practice Exercise[edit | edit source]

Using the examples and lessons above, try to form a negative sentence in Malayalam about an activity of your choice.
