Whom in Malayalam
Whom is ആരെ (aare), the object form of the question word for who, used when you ask whom someone saw or called. Say aare with a long aa and a light final e. Malayalam marks the case on the word itself, which is why it differs from the plain who.
Most common translation

ബസ് സ്റ്റോപ്പിൽ നീ ആരെ കാത്തുനിൽക്കുന്നു?

All Malayalam words for “whom”
- ആരെ (aare) — Whom.
- കാമുകി (kaamuki) — Girlfriend; a girl or woman with whom someone has a romantic relationship.
Because the case ending does the work, the distinction English speakers struggle with is automatic here; കാമുകി (kaamuki) appears in this list only because its definition mentions whom, and it means girlfriend.
Common questions
How do you say whom in Malayalam?
Whom is ആരെ (aare).
How is it different from who?
The question word takes an object ending to give ആരെ (aare), while the subject form has no ending, so the difference is built into the grammar.
