How do you say i am joking in Malayalam?

There are a few ways to say "I am joking" in Malayalam, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* ഞാൻ കളിയാക്കുന്നതാണ് (njan kaliyaakkunnathāṇ) - This is the most literal translation and means "I am joking."

* ഞാൻ തമാശ പറയുകയാണ് (njan thamāśa parayukaayāṇ) - This means "I am telling a joke."

Informal:

* ഞാൻ കളിയാക്കുന്നതാണ് (njan kaliyaakkunnathāṇ) - This is still used informally, but with a slightly lighter tone.

* കളിയാണ് (kaliyāṇ) - This means "It's a joke."

* തമാശ (thamāśa) - This means "Joke."

Adding emphasis:

* ഞാൻ കളിയാക്കുന്നതല്ലേ? (njan kaliyaakkunnathalle?) - This is a more playful way of saying "I am joking."

* തമാശാണ്! (thamāśāṇ!) - This is a more emphatic way of saying "It's a joke!"

Context matters:

* Use the formal options in more serious situations.

* Use the informal options with friends and family.

Pronunciation:

* "n" sounds like the "n" in "no"

* "j" sounds like the "y" in "yes"

* "a" sounds like the "a" in "father"

* "i" sounds like the "ee" in "see"

* "u" sounds like the "oo" in "moon"

Remember, the best way to learn how to say "I am joking" in Malayalam is to listen to native speakers and practice speaking the language yourself.
