As we continue our journey to learn Malayalam grammar, we will now focus on compound sentences using conjunctions and other connectors. In this lesson, you will learn how to construct compound sentences, which is an essential skill for effective communication in the Malayalam language.
=== Understanding Compound Sentences ===
 
A '''compound sentence''' consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. In Malayalam, just like in English, compound sentences help you articulate more nuanced ideas and thoughts.  
 
For instance, instead of saying "I like tea" and "I like coffee" as two separate sentences, you can combine them into a single compound sentence: "I like tea and I like coffee."
 
The coordinating conjunctions in Malayalam are primarily:


* '''എന്നാൽ''' (ennāl) – but

* '''അല്ലെങ്കിൽ''' (allenkil) – or
== Compound Sentences ==


A compound sentence consists of two or more clauses that are connected by a conjunction or a semicolon to express a complete thought.
* '''കൂടാതെ''' (kūdāte) – and


For example:
* '''അതായത്''' (athāyitt) – that is


അന്തർജാതിക യോഗം യോജിപ്പിച്ചു, എനിക്ക് സംസ്കൃതം പഠിക്കാനാവുകയെന്നു തോന്നി. (Antarjātika yōgaṁ yōjippicchu, enikku saṁskr̥taṁ paṭhikkānāvuka yennu tōnni.)
These conjunctions help in forming relationships between the clauses, adding depth to your sentences.


In English: After joining the international yoga, I think I can learn Sanskrit.
=== Examples of Compound Sentences ===


നാലുപേർ ബഹുമാനക്കുഴപ്പം പുലരുകയാണ്, മോഹനൻ മൊബൈൽ പിഴച്ചു. (Nālupēr bahumānakkuzhappam pularukayāṇ, mōhanan mōbaiḷ piḻaccu.)
To illustrate how compound sentences work in Malayalam, let’s take a look at some examples:


In English: Four people were honored while Mohan got his mobile stolen.
{| class="wikitable"


Note that each clause can communicate an independent thought that can stand alone as a sentence, but we join them to create a more complete idea.
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English


Now let us look at the different types of connectors used to construct compound sentences.
|-


=== Connectors for Compound Sentences ===
| ഞാൻ ചായയും കാപ്പിയും ഇഷ്ടമാണ്. || ñān chāyayum kāppiyum iṣṭamāṇu. || I like both tea and coffee.


There are two types of connectors used to create compound sentences: Coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions.
|-


==== Coordinating Conjunctions ====
| അവൻ വന്നില്ല, എന്നാൽ അവൻ ഒരു സന്ദേശം വിട്ടു. || avan vannilla, ennāl avan oru sandēśaṁ viṭṭu. || He did not come, but he left a message.


Coordinating conjunctions are connectors that join two independent clauses of equal value. In other words, two ideas that can stand alone as sentences.
|-


Here are some examples of coordinating conjunctions in Malayalam:
| നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ വിളിക്കുമോ? അല്ലെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ കാണുമോ? || nīṅṅal avane viḷikkumō? allenkil nīṅṅal avane kāṇumō? || Will you call him? Or will you see him?


* അല്ലേലും (allēluṁ) - But
|-
* അഥവാ (athavā) - Or
* ഉയരംഗത്തെ (uyaraṁgattē) - However
* ആദ്യം സഹനം ചെയ്യുക (ādyaṁ sahanaṁ ceyyuka) - First, bear
* എല്ലാവരും നന്ദി ചെയ്യുക (ellāvaruṁ nandi ceyyuka) - Everyone, say thanks
* എങ്കിലും (eṅkilum) - Though, although
* അത്ഭുതമായി (athbhutamāyi) - Surprisingly


Here is an example of a compound sentence that incorporates a coordinating conjunction:
| ഞാൻ സഞ്ചാരം ചെയ്യാൻ പോകുന്നു, കൂടാതെ ഞാൻ ഒരു പുസ്തകം വായിക്കുന്നു. || ñān sanjāraṁ ceyyān pōkunnu, kūdāte ñān oru pustakaṁ vāyikkunnu. || I am going traveling, and I am reading a book.


ഞാൻ ഉറപ്പിച്ചു പോകുന്നു അവിടെ പോയാൽ സന്ദർശിക്കുക. അതിനാൽ ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ പരിചയം ചെയ്തു. (Njāṇ uṟappicchu pōkunnu aviṭe pōyāḷ sandarśikkuka. Atināḷ njāṇ niṅṅaḷuṭe paricayam ceytu.)
|-


In English: I decided to visit there and therefore I introduced myself to you.
| അവൾ പഠിക്കുന്നു, അതായത് അവൾ സർവകലാശാലയിൽ പഠിക്കുന്നു. || avaḷ paṭhikkunnu, athāyitt avaḷ sarvakalāśālayil paṭhikkunnu. || She is studying, that is, she is studying in the university.


Notice how the coordinating conjunction "therefore" is used to signal the result of the first thought.
|}


==== Subordinating Conjunctions ====
These examples show how combining clauses can create more informative and engaging sentences.


Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a dependent clause with an independent clause. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence because it is an incomplete thought that relies on the independent clause to make sense.
=== More Examples of Compound Sentences ===


Here are some examples of subordinating conjunctions in Malayalam:
Here are additional examples to help solidify your understanding:


* ജനങ്ങൾ വിടിയേറ്റു പോയപ്പോൾ (janangal viṭiyēṟṟu pōyappōl) - When people left
{| class="wikitable"
* സഹായത്തോടെ (sahāyatthōṭe) - With help
* കാണിച്ച പതിയെങ്കിൽ (kāṇiccha patiyenkil) - If you see the lizard
* ശരിയാണ് (śariyāṇ) - That is correct
* ൽക്കൊണ്ട് (ḷkkoṇṭu) - with, on
* പാകപ്രശ്നം പിടിക്കപ്പെട്ടു (pākaprashnaṁ piṭikkappēṭṭu) - Once the problem arises


Here is an example of a compound sentence that incorporates a subordinating conjunction:
! Malayalam !! Pronunciation !! English


പുലർത്തി കരിഞ്ഞു മുകളിലേക്ക് പോകുന്നു എന്ന് തോന്നാൻ അദ്ദേഹമാണ് പാപം ചെയ്തത്. (Pulartti kariññu mukaḷilēkku pōkunnu ennu tōnnān addehamāṇ pāpam ceytatu.)
|-


In English: He thinks he is going upwards after committing the sin of killing a tiger.
| ഞാൻ വെള്ളം കുടിക്കും, എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിക്കുന്നില്ല. || ñān veḷḷaṁ kuṭikkum, ennāl ñān bhakṣaṇaṁ kaḻikkunnilla. || I will drink water, but I will not eat food.


Make sure to practice using these connectors until you become comfortable and confident with creating compound sentences.
|-


== Conclusion ==
| അവൻ കേൾക്കുന്നു, കൂടാതെ അവൻ എഴുതുന്നു. || avan kēḷkunnu, kūdāte avan ezhuthunnu. || He is listening, and he is writing.


In this lesson, we learned about compound sentences using conjunctions and other connectors, which allows us to create more eloquent and meaningful sentences in Malayalam. We covered the two types of connectors used in Malayalam to create compound sentences: coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Additionally, we provided examples of these connectors in action. I urge you to practice using these connectors to help your language fluency grow.
|-


| അവൾ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നു, എന്നാൽ അവൾ പറയുന്നു. || avaḷ snēhikkunnu, ennāl avaḷ paṟayunnu. || She loves, but she says.
|-
| നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ കാണണം, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ വിളിക്കണം. || nīṅṅal avane kāṇaṇaṁ, allenkil nīṅṅal avane viḷikkaṇaṁ. || You should see him, or you should call him.
|-
| ഞാൻ ഈ പുസ്തകം വായിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടോ, അതായത് ഞാൻ ഇതുവരെ അത് വായിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. || ñān ī pustakaṁ vāyicciṭṭuṇṭō, athāyitt ñān ituvare at vāyiccittilla. || Have I read this book? That is, I have not read it yet.
|}
=== Summary of Conjunctions ===
To summarize the conjunctions we have learned:
* '''എന്നാൽ''' (ennāl) – but
* '''അല്ലെങ്കിൽ''' (allenkil) – or
* '''കൂടാതെ''' (kūdāte) – and
* '''അതായത്''' (athāyitt) – that is
These conjunctions are essential in forming compound sentences, and mastering them will significantly improve your ability to communicate in Malayalam.

Welcome to our lesson on Compound Sentences in Malayalam! Understanding how to construct compound sentences is essential as you advance in your language journey. Compound sentences allow you to express more complex thoughts by connecting two independent clauses with conjunctions. This not only enriches your vocabulary but also enhances your ability to communicate effectively in Malayalam.

In this lesson, we will explore the following:

  • What compound sentences are and their importance in Malayalam.
  • The different conjunctions used to form compound sentences.
  • A variety of examples to illustrate the construction of compound sentences.
  • Practice exercises to help you apply what you've learned.

This lesson is a vital stepping stone in your path to mastering the Malayalam language, so let's dive right in!

Understanding Compound Sentences[edit | edit source]

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. In Malayalam, just like in English, compound sentences help you articulate more nuanced ideas and thoughts.

For instance, instead of saying "I like tea" and "I like coffee" as two separate sentences, you can combine them into a single compound sentence: "I like tea and I like coffee."

The coordinating conjunctions in Malayalam are primarily:

  • എന്നാൽ (ennāl) – but
  • അല്ലെങ്കിൽ (allenkil) – or
  • കൂടാതെ (kūdāte) – and
  • അതായത് (athāyitt) – that is

These conjunctions help in forming relationships between the clauses, adding depth to your sentences.

Examples of Compound Sentences[edit | edit source]

To illustrate how compound sentences work in Malayalam, let’s take a look at some examples:

Malayalam Pronunciation English
ഞാൻ ചായയും കാപ്പിയും ഇഷ്ടമാണ്. ñān chāyayum kāppiyum iṣṭamāṇu. I like both tea and coffee.
അവൻ വന്നില്ല, എന്നാൽ അവൻ ഒരു സന്ദേശം വിട്ടു. avan vannilla, ennāl avan oru sandēśaṁ viṭṭu. He did not come, but he left a message.
നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ വിളിക്കുമോ? അല്ലെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ കാണുമോ? nīṅṅal avane viḷikkumō? allenkil nīṅṅal avane kāṇumō? Will you call him? Or will you see him?
ഞാൻ സഞ്ചാരം ചെയ്യാൻ പോകുന്നു, കൂടാതെ ഞാൻ ഒരു പുസ്തകം വായിക്കുന്നു. ñān sanjāraṁ ceyyān pōkunnu, kūdāte ñān oru pustakaṁ vāyikkunnu. I am going traveling, and I am reading a book.
അവൾ പഠിക്കുന്നു, അതായത് അവൾ സർവകലാശാലയിൽ പഠിക്കുന്നു. avaḷ paṭhikkunnu, athāyitt avaḷ sarvakalāśālayil paṭhikkunnu. She is studying, that is, she is studying in the university.

These examples show how combining clauses can create more informative and engaging sentences.

More Examples of Compound Sentences[edit | edit source]

Here are additional examples to help solidify your understanding:

Malayalam Pronunciation English
ഞാൻ വെള്ളം കുടിക്കും, എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിക്കുന്നില്ല. ñān veḷḷaṁ kuṭikkum, ennāl ñān bhakṣaṇaṁ kaḻikkunnilla. I will drink water, but I will not eat food.
അവൻ കേൾക്കുന്നു, കൂടാതെ അവൻ എഴുതുന്നു. avan kēḷkunnu, kūdāte avan ezhuthunnu. He is listening, and he is writing.
അവൾ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നു, എന്നാൽ അവൾ പറയുന്നു. avaḷ snēhikkunnu, ennāl avaḷ paṟayunnu. She loves, but she says.
നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ കാണണം, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾ അവനെ വിളിക്കണം. nīṅṅal avane kāṇaṇaṁ, allenkil nīṅṅal avane viḷikkaṇaṁ. You should see him, or you should call him.
ഞാൻ ഈ പുസ്തകം വായിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടോ, അതായത് ഞാൻ ഇതുവരെ അത് വായിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. ñān ī pustakaṁ vāyicciṭṭuṇṭō, athāyitt ñān ituvare at vāyiccittilla. Have I read this book? That is, I have not read it yet.

Summary of Conjunctions[edit | edit source]

To summarize the conjunctions we have learned:

  • എന്നാൽ (ennāl) – but
  • അല്ലെങ്കിൽ (allenkil) – or
  • കൂടാതെ (kūdāte) – and
  • അതായത് (athāyitt) – that is
