Abuse in Malayalam
Abuse splits in two in Malayalam, and for verbal abuse the everyday verb is തെറിപറയുക (theriparayuka), literally to speak foul language. It is blunt and unmistakable, used of swearing and obscene insults. For abuse meaning misuse of a thing or a position, a quite different word is needed.
Use foul language, speak in a vulgar way, abuse, utter obscene words.
