How can we say what are you doing in Malayalam?

There are a few ways to say "what are you doing" in Malayalam, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* എന്താണ് ചെയ്യുന്നത്? (enthaanu cheyyunnath?) - This is the most common and direct translation.

* നിങ്ങൾ എന്താണ് ചെയ്യുന്നത്? (ningal enthaanu cheyyunnath?) - This is more formal, using the honorific "ningal" (you) instead of "nee" (you).

Informal:

* എന്താ ചെയ്യുന്നേ? (entha cheyyunnē?) - This is a more casual way of saying it, and is used between friends and family.

* എന്താടാ ചെയ്യുന്നേ? (enthaada cheyyunnē?) - This is a very informal and somewhat slangy way of saying it, and is only used among close friends.

Other options:

* എന്താണ് പണി? (enthaanu paṇi?) - Literally translates to "what is the work?", but is a colloquial way of asking "what are you doing?".

* എന്താ പണിയുണ്ട്? (entha paṇiyundu?) - Similar to the previous option, but more polite.

The best option will depend on the situation and your relationship with the person you are talking to.
