Arrogant in Malayalam
The options here are verbs rather than adjectives, so Malayalam says someone behaves arrogantly rather than that they are arrogant. മദിക്കുക (madikkuka) is the central one: to be haughty, puffed up, intoxicated with one's own importance. It is also used of a bull elephant in rut, which tells you how much force the word carries.
Be haughty or arrogant, be intoxicated, be delighted, be in rut.
ജയം കിട്ടിയാൽ മദിക്കുക എന്നത് നല്ലതല്ല.
jayam kittiyaal madikkuka ennathu nallathalla.
Becoming haughty after a win is not good.
