To use "why" correctly in a sentence, you need to understand basic Malayalam sentence structure. Unlike English, where the word order is often Subject-Verb-Object, Malayalam is a subject-object-verb (SOV) language. This means the verb typically comes at the end. When asking a "why" question, "enthukondu" usually comes at the beginning of the sentence or clause. For example: English: Why did you go? Malayalam: എന്തുകൊണ്ട് നീ പോയി? (Enthukondu nee poyi?) - Literally: "Why you went?"The response to a "why" question will often start with "കാരണം" (kaaranam), which means "because" or "reason." For example, "I went because I was tired" would be "എനിക്ക് ക്ഷീണമായിരുന്നു കാരണം ഞാൻ പോയി" (Enikk ksheenamaayirunnu kaaranam njaan poyi).
