ente means mine in Malayalam language. it's said to be one of the toughest Indian language to learn. FYI.
- alfirous 5mo agoInteresting, in Indonesia Ente means you. Derived from Arabic word Anta. Fascinating how sometimes in different languages one word can have opposite meaning and the other times one word can have similar meaning.
- aabdelhafez 5mo agoEnte also means "duck" in German.
- thisislife2 5mo agoMaybe it's the pronunciation - ente means "mine" and ante means "yours" (in Malayalam) which is what perhaps you may be referring to? (Former South Indian kingdoms and South East Asia have historical cultural ties due to trade and conquest, and thus they share some common words, which I assume is, largely borrowed from Tamil and Malayalam).
- sreekanth850 5mo agoSome people use ante to mean yours in the northern region, but it is not common in the southern region.
- ignoramous 5mo ago> it's said to be one of the toughest Indian language to learn. By who? My SO is now passably conversant in Malayalam after watching their cinema during the covid lockdowns (~1y to 2y).
- sreekanth850 5mo agoBy other indians. And indian military use malayalam to communicate, so that enemies cannot intercept. There was a report that chinese started learning south indian languages. Most movies use neutral phonetics (written language) where as spoken language is tough to understand and have many regional vriations.
