Evasive in Malayalam
No plain Malayalam adjective for evasive turns up among these entries. The closest is പ്രതികടം (prathikadam), which is not the quality of being evasive but the thing itself: an evasive reply, in particular a counter question thrown back instead of an answer.
Evasive reply, counter question as answer to a query.
ചോദ്യത്തിന് അവൻ പ്രതികടം പറഞ്ഞു.
chodyathinu avan prathikadam paranju.
He gave an evasive reply to the question.
Dictionary entry
- പ്രതികടം (prathikadam) — Evasive reply, counter question as answer to a query.
Only one option is listed, and പ്രതികടം (prathikadam) is a formal noun, so to call a person evasive a speaker would describe the behaviour rather than reach for this word.
