Drizzling in Malayalam
Drizzling weather is described with the noun പൊടിമഴ (podimazha), since Malayalam names the fine rain rather than the act of falling. A speaker will simply say that പൊടിമഴ is falling. The alternative ചാറല് (chaaral) works in exactly the same way.
Most common translation
Drizzle, drizzling.
ഇന്ന് രാവിലെ പൊടിമഴ പെയ്തു.
innu raavile podimazha peythu.
It drizzled this morning.
