Civil in Malayalam
Malayalam takes civil straight from English as സിവിൽ (sivil), written in Malayalam letters and used for civil law as opposed to criminal law, and for civil engineering. Say si-vil, both syllables short. Degree certificates and court notices both use it.
Civil, relating to citizens or to civil law as opposed to criminal law; also used of civil engineering.
ഇത് ഒരു സിവിൽ കേസാണ്.
ithu oru sivil kesaanu
This is a civil case.
