== Introduction ==
=== 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.


In this lesson, we will delve into the concept of passive voice in Malayalam. The passive voice is an important grammatical structure that allows us to focus on the receiver of the action rather than the doer. Understanding and using the passive voice correctly will greatly enhance your ability to express yourself in Malayalam.
=== Formation of Passive Voice in Malayalam ===


Throughout this lesson, we will explore the formation, usage, and various examples of passive voice sentences in Malayalam. We will also provide cultural insights and interesting facts related to the topic. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently construct and understand passive voice sentences 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:


== Formation of Passive Voice Sentences ==
1. '''Identify the Verb''': Start with the active voice sentence.


Passive voice sentences in Malayalam are formed by using the passive verb form, which consists of the past participle of the main verb followed by the auxiliary verb "ആകുക" (aakuka) or "ആയിരിക്കുന്നു" (ayirikkunnu). The auxiliary verb agrees with the subject of the sentence in terms of gender and number.
2. '''Change the Verb Form''': The verb is typically changed to a passive form, often using the auxiliary verb "ആണ്" (aanu) or "ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കുന്നു" (undaayirikkunnu).


Let's take a look at the formation of passive voice sentences in Malayalam through the following examples:
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.


=== Example 1 ===
Let’s look at some examples to illustrate this process.
 
=== Examples of Passive Voice ===
 
Here are 20 examples of active and passive voice in Malayalam, along with their pronunciations and English translations:

|-
| കളി കുട്ടികൾക്ക് നൽകുന്നു || kaḷi kuṭṭikaḷkku naḷkunnu || The game is being given to the children.
|-
| അവൻ പുസ്തകം എഴുതുന്നു || avaṉ pustakaṁ eḻuttunnu || He is writing a book.
|-
| പുസ്തകം അവനാൽ എഴുതപ്പെടുന്നു || pustakaṁ avanāl eḻuttappeṭunnu || The book is being written by him.

|-
|-
| പുസ്തകം വാങ്ങിയും വാങ്ങിയും || pusthakam vaanghiyum vaanghiyum || The book was bought.
|}


In this example, the verb "വാങ്ങിയും" (vaanghiyum) is the past participle of the verb "വാങ്ങുക" (vaanghuka), which means "to buy." The auxiliary verb "ആയിരിക്കുന്നു" (ayirikkunnu) is used to indicate the passive voice. The subject of the sentence is the book, and the verb agrees with it in terms of gender and number.
| സംസാരം അവളാൽ ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്നു || saṁsāraṁ avaḷāl ceyyappeṭunnu || The conversation is being held by her.

=== Example 2 ===

|}
|}


In this example, the verb "തീരുമാനിച്ചു" (theerumaanichu) is the past participle of the verb "തീരുമാനിക്കുക" (theerumaanikkuka), which means "to make a decision." The subject of the sentence is the decision, and the verb agrees with it in terms of gender and number.
=== Exercises to Practice ===
 
Now it's time to put your knowledge to the test! Here are ten exercises designed to help you practice forming and using the passive voice in Malayalam.


== Usage of Passive Voice ==
==== Exercise 1: Convert the following sentences to passive voice. ====


The passive voice is used in Malayalam for various reasons, such as when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or intentionally omitted. It is also used to shift the focus from the doer to the receiver of the action. Here are some common situations where the passive voice is used:
1. അവൻ കറലി നൃത്തം ചെയ്യുന്നു. (He is performing a dance.)


=== 1. Unknown Doer ===
2. അവർ പ്രണയം പറയുന്നു. (They are expressing love.)


When the doer of the action is unknown or unimportant, the passive voice is used in Malayalam. This can happen when describing general truths or when the focus is on the action itself rather than the doer.  
3. ഞാൻ ഒരു പുസ്തകം വായിക്കുന്നു. (I am reading a book.)


Example:
4. കുട്ടികൾ പാട്ട് പാടുന്നു. (The children are singing a song.)
* വീട് വിറ്റുപോയിരിക്കുന്നു. (Veet vittu poyirikkunnu.) - The house has been sold.


In this sentence, the focus is on the fact that the house has been sold, rather than who sold it.
==== Exercise 2: Fill in the blanks with the correct passive form of the verb. ====


=== 2. Omission of the Doer ===
1. മരക്കൂട്ടം __________ (കട്ട്) അവൻ. (The tree was cut by him.)


Sometimes, the doer of the action is intentionally omitted in a sentence. This can be done to avoid repetition or to keep the focus on the receiver of the action.
2. ഭക്ഷണം __________ (ഉണ്ടാക്കുക) അവർ. (The food is being prepared by them.)


Example:
3. പാട്ട് __________ (പാടുക) അവൾ. (The song was sung by her.)
* അമ്പലത്തിന്റെ ഉണക്കം തീരുമാനിച്ചു. (Ambalathinte unakkam theerumaanichu.) - The decision was made by the committee.


In this sentence, the doer of the action (the committee) is intentionally omitted to keep the focus on the decision itself.
4. ചിത്രം __________ (വരയ്ക്കുക) ഞാൻ. (The picture is being drawn by me.)


=== 3. Shifting Focus ===
==== Exercise 3: Translate the following passive sentences to English. ====


The passive voice is also used to shift the focus from the doer to the receiver of the action. This can be done to emphasize the receiver or to create a more formal tone.
1. അമ്മയ്ക്ക് പണി ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്നു.  


Example:
2. പുസ്തകം കുട്ടികൾക്ക് നൽകപ്പെടുന്നു.
* പുസ്തകം വാങ്ങിയും വാങ്ങിയും. (Pusthakam vaanghiyum vaanghiyum.) - The book was bought.


In this sentence, the focus is on the book (the receiver of the action) rather than the person who bought it.
3. അവർക്ക് കത്തുകൾ എഴുതി നൽകുന്നു.


== Cultural Insights ==
==== Exercise 4: Identify the subject and the agent in the following passive sentences. ====


In Malayalam culture, the passive voice is commonly used to show respect or maintain politeness. By shifting the focus from the doer to the receiver of the action, the speaker can avoid directly mentioning the doer, especially in situations where it may be considered impolite to do so.
1. പണി അവരാൽ ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്നു.


For example, when talking about someone's achievements or success, it is common to use the passive voice to keep the focus on the individual rather than explicitly mentioning their name. This helps to maintain humility and avoid sounding boastful.
2. കഥ ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞു.


== Exercises ==
3. പെയിന്റ് എനിക്ക് ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്നു.


Now it's time to practice using the passive voice in Malayalam sentences. Try to construct passive voice sentences based on the given prompts. The solutions and explanations will be provided afterwards.

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.

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]
