Dishonesty in Malayalam
Dishonesty in everyday Malayalam is നെറികേട് (neriked), formed from the word for rectitude plus an ending meaning spoilt, so it says uprightness gone wrong. People use it about cheating in dealings and about crooked behaviour generally.
Dishonesty, crookedness, shamelessness.
ഇത് വലിയ നെറികേട് ആണ്.
ithu valiya neriked aanu.
This is a great dishonesty.
