Is this line making sense?

I made a song. this line is from the lyrics. Could you let me know if it makes sense, please?

മാമധുരമാ ഋതു തോറ്റുപോകുമാം

എന്റെ നെഞ്ചിലെ കോപ്പയിൽ സേമിയ പായസം

I am not looking for feedback on the creative writing part. Just tell me please if it makes sense grammatically.

That sweetest of seasons would pale in comparison

to the "semiya payasam" in the bowl held against my heart

- this is what I meant

Ethu Kari Raavilum

Hello guys what does the song Ethu Kari Raavilum from Bangalore Days mean? I kind of understand what it means literally but what does it mean poetically? I am looking for different interpretations i guess. Particularly these lines:

"ഏതു കരി രാവിലും
ഒരു ചെറു കസവിഴ തുന്നും കിരണമേ
ഈ ഹൃദയ വാതിലിൻ പഴുതിലുമൊഴുകി വരൂ

അരികിലെ പുതു മന്ദാരമായി വിടരു നീ
പുണരുവാൻ കൊതി തോന്നുന്നൊരീ പുലരിയിൽ
അങ്ങെങ്ങൊ നിൻ പൊൻപീലി മിന്നുന്നുവോ
അതിലൊന്നെൻറെ നെഞ്ചോരമെയ്യുന്നുവോ
ഉണർന്നു ഞാൻ"

Which is the correct word for Saanidhyam in Malayalam?

I am asking this for putting a name plate for my house. I suggested to my parents that using malayalam text will look much better since the name plate size is quite small (12 inches width)

We choose Saanidhyam (meaning: presence) for our home, there are two malayalam words, which one is grammatically and colloquially correct?

  1. സാന്നിധ്യം

  2. സാന്നിദ്ധ്യം

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

How can I improve my manglish reading/writing skills?

I moved to the UK at a young age and I always had non-malayali friends growing up. Now I'm entering my late 20s scared I will forget the language if I don't use it. I am looking for a guy and trying to make online friends who are from Kerala to stay closer to my culture, but my manglish skills are pulling me back. I would say my spoken Malayalam is 6/10 (only ever use it with my parents or family back home), I have 0 skills in reading or writing manglish text. When I get replies back in manglish, it takes me ages to decode it or I end up replying back in English as I don't know how to type it. How can I improve my manglish skills?

Is there any manglish texting lingo I need to be aware of? E.g it surprised me 'Kurapam illa' is actually written as 'kuzhapam illa'. Are there any similar rules/ text speech.

How do you say UP?

I am from waynad and was raised in dubai, I studied malayalam for 5 years until 10th. I have been using melil to refer to as up and I gear that in movies and shows to but my family always says molil.

Is this a dialect thing?

What’s the Malayalam word for “stretch marks”

I was chatting with a friend and mentioned that the sky looked like stretch marks. I asked what the word for stretch marks is in Tamizh, and he said “viri thazhumbugal” It sounded so poetic that I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

That got me wondering does Malayalam have a similarly beautiful or specific word for stretch marks other than this?

What is the best Malayalam grammar?

Does anyone know what is the most comprehensive and modern grammar of the Malayalam language? I know of Keralapanineeyam, but I feel that it is a bit outdated and archaic.
