Fool in Malayalam
Calling someone a fool, Malayalam says വിഡ്ഢി (viddi), a blunt and very common insult. മൂഢന് (moodan) and മണ്ടന് (mandan) do the same work with slightly different flavour. All are rude, so they belong to informal speech only.
Most common translation
Fool, idiot.
അങ്ങനെ ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ ഒരു വിഡ്ഢിയാണ്.
angane cheyyunnavan oru viddhiyaanu.
Anyone who does that is dumb.
