Common questions

How do you say cheap in Malayalam?

വിലകുറഞ്ഞ (vilakuranja) describes something cheap, and വിലക്കുറവ് (vilakkurav) names the low price itself.

Does vilakuranja also mean poor quality?

It can carry that hint, just as cheap does in English, so if you only mean inexpensive it is safer to speak of വിലക്കുറവ് (vilakkurav), a lower price.
