Common questions

How do you say exceedingly in Malayalam?

In formal Malayalam, അതീവ (atheeva); in ordinary speech people often use നന്നായി (nannayi).

Can nannayi mean very?

Yes, with verbs: saying someone slept nannayi means they slept very well, so it intensifies the action rather than an adjective.
