Behaviour in Malayalam
Everyday Malayalam renders behaviour as സ്വഭാവം (swabhaavam), which covers a person's nature and habitual way of acting. Say it swa-bhaa-vam, with an even rhythm. It is equally at home in casual talk, in school remarks about a child and in formal writing.
Character, (one's)nature, natural way of behaviour, tendency, disposition.
അവളുടെ സ്വഭാവം വളരെ നല്ലതാണ്.
avalude swabhaavam valare nallathaanu.
Her character is very good.
