Chatter in Malayalam
For chatter, Malayalam offers ചിലയ്ക്കുക (chilaykkuka), used of birds making noise and, of people, of talking nonsense. It is said chi-layk-ku-ka. Aimed at a person it is dismissive, so keep it for joking among friends rather than polite company.
Most common translation
Chatter, talk nonsense.
കിളികൾ രാവിലെ ചിലയ്ക്കുന്നു.
kilikal raavile chilaykkunnu.
The birds chirp in the morning.
