Caused in Malayalam
For caused, in the sense of brought about, Malayalam uses ഉണ്ടാക്കിയ (undaakkiya). It is the past adjectival form of the verb to make, so it sits in front of the noun it describes, much like damage caused by rain. The sounds are un-daak-ki-ya, with a long aa in the second syllable.
Caused, brought about, made to happen.
മഴ ഉണ്ടാക്കിയ നാശം വലുതാണ്.
mazha undaakkiya naasham valuthaanu.
The damage caused by the rain is great.
