Dissatisfaction in Malayalam
Dissatisfaction is അതൃപ്തി (athrupthi), made by putting the negative prefix a- in front of the word for contentment. That transparency makes it easy to remember: not-satisfied. The cluster pthi takes a little practice, a-thrup-thi.
Dissatisfaction, unhappiness.
അവന്റെ മുഖത്ത് അതൃപ്തി കണ്ടു.
avante mukhaththu athrupthi kandu.
Dissatisfaction showed on his face.
