Dependence in Malayalam
Dependence is normally rendered as അധീനത (adheenatha), the state of being under someone else's control. Say it as a-dhee-na-tha, with the long second syllable carrying the stress. The word belongs to formal writing and speech about law, authority and family power rather than to casual chat.
Dependence, subservience, state of subjugation, state of being under the control of, custody.
ആ കട ഇപ്പോൾ അവന്റെ അധീനതയിലാണ്.
aa kada ippol avante adheenathayilaanu.
That shop is now under his control.
