Commit in Malayalam
Malayalam has no single verb matching the English commit; it joins the thing being committed to the verb for doing. The most useful of the pair here is കുറ്റംചെയ്യുക (kuttamcheyyuka), literally to do a wrong, which is how a speaker says someone committed an offence or a crime. The doubled tt is retroflex, kut-tam.
കുറ്റംചെയ്യുക (kuttamcheyyuka)
Offend, commit crime, do wrong.
കുറ്റംചെയ്യുന്നവര് ശിക്ഷ അനുഭവിക്കണം.
kuttamcheyyunnavar shiksha anubhavikkanam.
Those who do wrong must face punishment.
All Malayalam words for “commit”
- കുറ്റംചെയ്യുക (kuttamcheyyuka) — Offend, commit crime, do wrong.
- മരിച്ചുകളയുക (marichukalayuka) — Commit suicide.
കുറ്റംചെയ്യുക (kuttamcheyyuka) is for committing an offence and മരിച്ചുകളയുക (marichukalayuka) is specifically the act of taking one's own life, so each belongs to its own narrow situation rather than translating commit on its own.
Common questions
How do you say commit in Malayalam?
It depends on what is committed. For committing a crime or an offence, the phrase is കുറ്റംചെയ്യുക (kuttamcheyyuka).
Why is there no plain word for commit?
Because Malayalam builds such ideas as compound verbs, pairing a noun with a do verb, so the object is baked into the expression.
