Excitement in Malayalam
When excitement runs high at a match, a festival or a rally, Malayalis call it ആവേശം (aavesham). The first syllable is long, aa-ve-sham. It can tip over into being carried away, so it is not always a compliment.
Excitement, over enthusiasm, entry, impulse.
കളി കാണാന് കുട്ടികള്ക്ക് വലിയ ആവേശമായിരുന്നു.
kali kaanaan kuttikalkku valiya aaveshamaayirunnu.
The children were very excited to watch the game.
