Form in Malayalam
Grammatical forms, rather than a single noun meaning form, are what these options cover, and the most useful of them is ആണ് (aanu), the present form of the verb to be. It never changes for person or number, so it serves is, am and are alike. Its past counterpart is ആയിരുന്നു (aayirunnu).
Most common translation
Are, is, am; the present form of the verb to be; the same form for every person and number.
ഇവർ എന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാർ ആണ്.
ivar ente koottukaar aanu.
These are my friends.
