Feet in Malayalam
Feet is കാലുകൾ (kaalukal), said kaa-lu-kal, the plural of the word that covers both foot and leg. Malayalam does not split the two the way English does, so the same word serves for feet and legs and for the legs of furniture. As a unit of length, adi is used instead.
Feet, the plural of foot, the parts of the body you stand on; as a unit of length adi is used; legs. The limbs used for standing and walking; also the supports of a table or chair.
നടന്നിട്ട് കാലുകൾ വേദനിക്കുന്നു.
nadannittu kaalukal vedanikkunnu.
My feet hurt from walking.
