Interesting, in Indonesia Ente means you. Derived from Arabic word Anta.
replyFascinating how sometimes in different languages one word can have opposite meaning and the other times one word can have similar meaning.
Maybe it's the pronunciation - ente means "mine" and ante means "yours" (in Malayalam) which is what perhaps you may be referring to? (Former South Indian kingdoms and South East Asia have historical cultural ties due to trade and conquest, and thus they share some common words, which I assume is, largely borrowed from Tamil and Malayalam).
replySome people use ante to mean yours in the northern region, but it is not common in the southern region.
replyEnte also means "duck" in German.

replyBy who? My SO is now passably conversant in Malayalam after watching their cinema during the covid lockdowns (~1y to 2y).
