In this post, we’ll go over the Malayalam words for each body part so that you can communicate better with the locals. Let’s begin!

I know what you’re thinking, “Why do I need to know how to say ‘foot’ or ‘hand’ in another language?” But let me tell you a little story that might change your mind. Picture this: you’re on vacation in beautiful Kerala, India. You’ve been enjoying the food, the scenery, and the culture, when all of a sudden, you feel a sharp pain in your stomach. You rush to the nearest hospital, only to realize that no one there speaks English. You try to explain what’s wrong, but all you get are blank stares.

That’s when you realize you don’t know how to say “stomach” in Malayalam. You start pointing and gesturing, hoping that someone will understand. But alas, nothing. Finally, someone hands you a Malayalam-English dictionary, and you frantically start flipping through the pages. And there it is, ആമാശയം (aamaashayam). You shout it out, and everyone in the room nods in understanding. Phew! Crisis averted.

Now, I know that was a bit of a dramatic story, but it just goes to show how important it is to know basic human body parts’ names in a different language. You never know when you might need to communicate with someone in an emergency situation. Plus, it’s just a fun way to expand your vocabulary and impress your friends.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into today’s article, where we’ll be learning essential human body parts in Malayalam. Let’s get started!
