Belch in Malayalam
Belching is described with verbs in Malayalam, and the closest one here is തികട്ടുക (thikattuka), which covers the sour gas rising in the throat after a heavy meal. Pronounce the double t firmly: thi-kat-tu-ka. Neither word on this page is the plain noun for a burp; both describe the sensation as it happens.
Belch, feel nausea; (idm). recollect sth. past.
അമിതമായി കഴിച്ചപ്പോൾ തികട്ടി.
amithamaayi kazhichappol thikatti.
I felt nauseous after eating too much.
