Common questions
How do you say calm in Malayalam?
Use ശാന്തമായ (shaanthamaaya) as the adjective, for a calm place, a calm moment or a calm temperament.
How do I tell someone to calm down?
That needs the verb ശമിക്കുക (shamikkuka) rather than the adjective, since the adjective only describes the state once it has arrived.
