Boss in Malayalam
Boss, meaning the person in charge, is അധികാരി (adhikari), one who holds authority. It is also an official title for a village officer, so at work it sounds respectful rather than casual. Read it a-dhi-kaa-ri.
Most common translation
Person in authority, boss, village officer.
അധികാരി ഇന്ന് ഓഫീസിൽ ഇല്ല.
