Here's a breakdown:
* Literally: It translates to "is it not on the ground?".
* Figuratively: It can be interpreted as:
* "Don't you have any ground to stand on?" This implies someone is being unreasonable or making claims without any basis.
* "Don't you see the reality?" This hints at someone being oblivious to a situation or refusing to acknowledge the truth.
Example:
Imagine a situation where someone is making a ridiculous claim. Someone might say: "Tharathille, ninakku ethu parayunnathu?" (തറതില്ലെ, നിനക്ക് ഇത് പറയുന്നത്?) which translates to: "Don't you have any ground to stand on, saying that?"
Important Note: "Tharathille" is a somewhat archaic and regional expression. You might encounter it in older literature or hear it spoken in certain parts of Kerala. In everyday conversation, it's more likely to be replaced by simpler, more modern phrases.
