Effective Communication Among Malayalees

I am unable to express the influence of movies in day-to-day conversations of a Malayalee. I do not have enough words to express this phenomenon. One has to be amidst such a conversation to feel this. One also need to have a thorough understanding of the Malayalam Movies & its actors. If not all the mainstream actors, at least Jagathy Sreekumar, Mohanlal, Mukesh and Srinivasan.

I am listing a few such dialog, the ones I get to use/hear frequently & my interpretations :)

Welcome to Ooty! Nice to meet you!
Movie - Kilukkam
Actor - Jagathy Sreekumar, Mohanlal
One needn't be at Ooty to make this statement. This is dialog is extremely flexible. You have the power to turn it to a sarcastic one or not.

Ningal ningalude mother tongue`il ennodu samsaarichal njan athee mother tongue`il reply tharam (If you speak in your mother tongue, I shall reply to you in the same language)
Movie - Thoovalsparsham
Actor - Innocent

In a broad sense, to convey that one can adapt well.

Kilometers and kilometers from Washington DC to Miami Beach
Movie - Mazhapeyyunnu Madalamkottunnu
Actor - Mohanlal, Jagathy Sreekumar, Srinivasan
Video
Typically used when one doesn't have a definite answer to the question. You will be amazed when you realize that we can fit this 'kilometers' into any quantifiable element ;)

Ninakkonnum ariyilla, Kaaranam nee kuttiya (You know nothing because you are a kid)
Movie - Natturajavu
Actor - Mohanlal
Video
Mostly to say, 'you silly gal/boy'

I am sure you too will be having your personal preferences. Why don't you let me know what your picks are?
