Common questions
How do you say abandonment in Malayalam?
ത്യജനം (thyajanam) is the noun; it is bookish, so spoken Malayalam usually recasts the idea with a verb instead.
Why does നിവൃത്തി look so different in meaning?
Because it does several jobs: renunciation in religious texts, but a solution or possibility in daily speech, as when someone says there is no other way.
