As a Malayalam language teacher with 20 years of experience, I'm excited to teach you about the passive voice in Malayalam sentences. In this lesson, you will learn how to construct sentences in which the subject of the sentence is acted upon. This is an important aspect of grammar in Malayalam and will help you better express yourself in a variety of situations.<br><br>
=== What is Passive Voice? ===
 
The passive voice is a grammatical structure where the subject of the sentence is acted upon rather than performing the action. In English, you might say, "The book was read by the student." Here, the focus is on the book, not the student. In Malayalam, this structure is similarly used to emphasize the action rather than who is performing it.
 
Understanding the passive voice can help you convey information more effectively, especially in formal contexts, storytelling, or when the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant.


=== Formation of Passive Voice in Malayalam ===

In Malayalam, forming the passive voice generally involves changing the verb form and sometimes adjusting the sentence structure. Here are the key steps to form the passive voice:
== What is Passive Voice? ==


Passive voice in Malayalam is used when the subject of the sentence is not the person or thing performing the action. Instead, the subject of the sentence is receiving the action by the object in the sentence. In English, passive voice is formed with the helping verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb, and in Malayalam, passive voice is formed by using the suffix -യായി -ayi or -വും -vum.<br><br>
1. '''Identify the Verb''': Start with the active voice sentence.


== Formation of Passive Voice ==
2. '''Change the Verb Form''': The verb is typically changed to a passive form, often using the auxiliary verb "ആണ്" (aanu) or "ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കുന്നു" (undaayirikkunnu).


In Malayalam, passive voice is formed by adding the suffix -യായി -ayi or -വും -vum to the verb stem. The suffix used depends on the verb's structure. The suffix -ayi is used for verbs that end in a consonant or a vowel other than -a, while -vum is used for verbs that end in -a.<br><br>
3. '''Rearrange the Sentence''': The subject of the active voice becomes the agent, often introduced by "അവൻ" (avan) or "അവൾ" (aval) in the passive voice.


=== Examples: ===
Let’s look at some examples to illustrate this process.


Let's look at examples of the passive voice in action using the verb കഴി -kazhi (to eat) in the present tense.<br>
=== Examples of Passive Voice ===
 
Here are 20 examples of active and passive voice in Malayalam, along with their pronunciations and English translations:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ഞാൻ കഴിക്കുന്നു || njān kazhikkunnu || I am eating
 
| കുട്ടി പുസ്തകം വായിക്കുന്നു || kuṭṭi pustakaṁ vāyikkunnu || The child is reading the book.
 
|-
|-
| കഴിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു || kazhikkappetunnu || it is being eaten
|}<br>


As you can see in the example above, the subject pronoun ഞാൻ -njān (I) changes to the passive pattern കഴിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു -kazhikkappetunnu (it is being eaten).<br><br>
| പുസ്തകം കുട്ടിയാൽ വായിക്കുന്നു || pustakaṁ kuṭṭiyāl vāyikkunnu || The book is being read by the child.


== Using Passive Voice ==
|-


Passive voice is used in Malayalam for several reasons, including to emphasize the object or recipient of the action, or when the agent of the action is unknown or unimportant. Passive voice is also commonly used in scientific or technical writing.<br><br>
| അവർ ഭക്ഷണം ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നു || avar bhakṣaṇaṁ uṇṭākkunnu || They are preparing the food.


=== Examples: ===
|-


* സൗരവന്മാർ വഴി കാലത്തെ താപനില - sauravanmār vazhi kālatte tāpanila (The Earth's temperature is affected by solar radiation)
| ഭക്ഷണം അവർ പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്നു || bhakṣaṇaṁ avar pravarttikkunnu || The food is being prepared by them.
* സസ്യങ്ങൾ വെട്ടല്ലേ നീരാവിയിൽ നിന്നും തേങ്ങാപ്പാൽ നിറഞ്ഞു കിടക്കുന്നു - sasyaṅṅal veṭṭalle nīrāviyil ninnuṁ tēṅṅāppāl niṟaññu kiṭakkunnu (Plants absorb nutrients from water and coconut milk)<br><br>


== Active vs Passive Voice ==
|-


It's important to note that while the active voice is preferred in many cases, passive voice can be used to create variety in writing and speaking. In the active voice, the subject of the sentence is the one performing the action, while in the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is receiving the action. A sentence in active voice is often shorter and more direct than a sentence in passive voice.<br><br>
| ഞാൻ പെയിന്റ് ചെയ്യുന്നു || ñān peyinṭ ceyyunnu || I am painting.


=== Examples: ===
|-


* Active voice: ആർക്കും പ്രശ്നമില്ലാത്ത പ്രകൃതിയിൽ പുലിയെ കണ്ടു - ārkkum praśnam illātta prakṛtiyil puliye kaṇṭu (A tiger was spotted in nature without any problems)
| പെയിന്റ് എനിക്ക് ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്നു || peyinṭ eṉikku ceyyappeṭunnu || The painting is being done by me.
* Passive voice: പ്രകൃതിയിൽ കണ്ടുകയറി പുലിക്കൊടുവിൽ പഴയ വഴികൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു - prakṛtiyil kaṇṭukayari pulikkoṭuvil paḻaya vazhikaḷ uṇṭākkappetirunn (Old paths were created by the tigers when they were spotted in nature)<br><br>


I hope this lesson helped you better understand the passive voice in Malayalam sentences. As always, practice is key - so make sure to practice constructing sentences with passive voice until you feel confident using it in your everyday conversations!<br><br>

Welcome to this exciting lesson on the Passive Voice in Malayalam! Understanding the passive voice is essential for constructing sentences in a way that shifts the focus from the subject to the action itself. This is particularly useful in Malayalam, where the emphasis can dramatically alter the tone and meaning of a sentence.

In this lesson, we will break down the concept of passive voice, provide numerous examples, and offer exercises to help you practice. By the end of this lesson, you will feel confident in using the passive voice in your conversations and writing.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • What is Passive Voice?

What is Passive Voice?[edit | edit source]

The passive voice is a grammatical structure where the subject of the sentence is acted upon rather than performing the action. In English, you might say, "The book was read by the student." Here, the focus is on the book, not the student. In Malayalam, this structure is similarly used to emphasize the action rather than who is performing it.

Understanding the passive voice can help you convey information more effectively, especially in formal contexts, storytelling, or when the doer of the action is unknown or irrelevant.

Formation of Passive Voice in Malayalam[edit | edit source]

In Malayalam, forming the passive voice generally involves changing the verb form and sometimes adjusting the sentence structure. Here are the key steps to form the passive voice:

1. Identify the Verb: Start with the active voice sentence.

2. Change the Verb Form: The verb is typically changed to a passive form, often using the auxiliary verb "ആണ്" (aanu) or "ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കുന്നു" (undaayirikkunnu).

3. Rearrange the Sentence: The subject of the active voice becomes the agent, often introduced by "അവൻ" (avan) or "അവൾ" (aval) in the passive voice.

Let’s look at some examples to illustrate this process.

Examples of Passive Voice[edit | edit source]
