Drowsiness in Malayalam
Neither option here is the plain noun for drowsiness. The closest is the verb മയക്കുക (mayakkuka), which means to make someone drowsy or unconscious, and suits talking about a sedative or about something lulling you to sleep. Say it ma-yak-ku-ka.
Most common translation
Cause unconsciousness or drowsiness, entice, make mild or soft, temper.
പാട്ടിന്റെ ഈണം എന്നെ മയക്കി.
paattinte eenam enne mayakki.
The tune of the song entranced me.
