Esquire in Malayalam
The courtesy title esquire is matched here by അവര്കള് (avarkal), an honorific form added when speaking respectfully of someone. It is said a-var-kal and belongs to old-fashioned, formal address of the sort found in letters and documents. Modern Malayalam rarely needs it, since English titles are usually left untranslated.
Most common translation
Esquire.
കത്തിൽ അവര്കള് എന്ന് എഴുതിയിരുന്നു.
katthil avarkal ennu ezhuthiyirunnu.
The word esquire was written in the letter.
Dictionary entry
- അവര്കള് (avarkal) — Esquire.
അവര്കള് (avarkal) is the one option given, and it works as a respectful suffix rather than as a title written before a name.
