    Aana - elephant in Malayalam
    Aana - to come in Hindi

    There is a puzzle in Malayalam relating to elephant.
    Once, an elephant went to a post office or something like that. But without entering, he stood outside. When asked, he told

    "Andar 'aana' manaa hai!" :laugh:

    Seeing this, I remembered one more word. In Malayalam, there is one more similar word, Patti(not pronounced as patti-bandage of Hindi, Patti-dog of Malayalam)
    How can I tell u :(
    Patti - Somewhat similar to telugu patti
    eg. Dirt patti...in clothes
    Mud patti :laugh:

    patti poy - am made fool

    More words are coming in my mind

    There is striking similarity of words of Malayalam and Hindi regarding face, but used with different meaning. So I am also a little confused. If I say wrong, Hindi specialists correct it.

    Naak - tongue in Malayalam ......Hindi.......someone complete it
    mook - nose in Malayalam mooh.....mouth in Hindi :cheer:
    Mukh - someone complete it
    Mukham- face in Malayalam
