How do you ask how are in Malayalam?

The most common and polite way to ask "How are you?" in Malayalam is:

"Eppolē?" (എപ്പോലെ?)

This is a general inquiry about someone's well-being and can be used in most situations.

Here are some other ways to ask "How are you?" in Malayalam, depending on the context:

* "Ningalkku eppolē?" (നിങ്ങൾക്ക് എപ്പോലെ?) - "How are you?" (formal, used when addressing someone older or in a position of authority)

* "Eppolēyirunnu?" (എപ്പോലെയிருന്നു?) - "How have you been?" (implies a longer period of time)

* "Nilam eppolē?" (നിലം എപ്പോലെ?) - "How are things?" (more casual, used with friends)

* "Eppolēya?" (എപ്പോലെയാ?) - "How are you doing?" (more casual, used with friends or family)

Remember that these are just a few examples, and the best way to ask "How are you?" in Malayalam will depend on the specific context and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
