Right then. It seems you're asking for the Malayalam word for 'why'.

The most direct and common translation is എന്തുകൊണ്ട് (enthekondu). This is what you would use when asking for a reason or a cause. For instance, "Why is the sky blue?" would use this word. It essentially means 'because of what?'.

However, you will also frequently hear എന്തിന് (enthinu). This is slightly different. It means 'for what purpose?' or simply 'what for?'. You would use this to question someone's intention. For example, "Why are you going there?" could use 'enthinu' if you're asking about their purpose.

So, 'enthekondu' is about the reason, and 'enthinu' is about the purpose. It's a subtle but useful distinction.
