Common questions
How do you say condolence in Malayalam?
Use അനുശോചനം (anushochanam) for formal condolence, and സഹതാപം (sahathaapam) when you mean sympathy expressed person to person.
What do people actually say to a bereaved family?
Not anushochanam, which belongs to writing and to condolence meetings. Face to face, speakers express sorrow in ordinary words, reaching for സഹതാപം (sahathaapam) if a noun is needed.
