Every in Malayalam
Every before a noun is എല്ലാ (ellaa), pronounced el-laa with a long second vowel. The noun that follows normally takes the suffix um, so every day becomes ellaa divasavum. This is the plain, everyday choice in speech and writing alike.
Most common translation
Every, each, all; the noun then takes the suffix um, as in ellaa divasavum, every day.
എല്ലാ ദിവസവും ഞാൻ നടക്കാൻ പോകും.
ellaa divasavum njaan nadakkaan pokum.
I go for a walk every day.
