These in Malayalam
ഇവ (iva) is these for things, the plural of the near demonstrative. For people you switch to ഇവര് (ivar), because Malayalam keeps human and non-human plurals apart.
Most common translation
These.
ഇവ എന്റെ പുസ്തകങ്ങളാണ്.
iva ente pusthakangalaanu.
These are my books.

Common questions
How do you say these in Malayalam?
ഇവ (iva) for things, ഇവര് (ivar) for people.
Why are there two plurals?
Malayalam grammar separates human from non-human, so ഇവര് (ivar) is for people and ഇവ (iva) for everything else.
