Common questions
How do you say aesthetic in Malayalam?
കലാബോധം (kalabodham) covers aesthetic sense or taste; none of these entries works as an adjective the way English aesthetic does.
What are words like haasyam and roudram used for?
They name the classical rasas, the nine aesthetic sentiments of Indian drama and dance, so you meet them in criticism of Kathakali or poetry rather than in everyday talk.
