Duties in Malayalam
Responsibilities a person is expected to carry out are ചുമതലകൾ (chumathalakal) in Malayalam, a plain plural that fits a job description as comfortably as a conversation at home. Say it evenly, chu-ma-tha-la-kal, with no strong stress on any syllable and a soft dental th. Office circulars and parents assigning chores use the same word.
Duties, responsibilities, the tasks one is required to carry out.
ഓരോരുത്തരുടെയും ചുമതലകൾ വേറെയാണ്.
