Fore in Malayalam
English fore does not stand alone in Malayalam. The one word listed, മുന്കൈ (munkai), is literally the forearm, but in daily use it far more often means the initiative or the upper hand, as in taking the lead in something.
Most common translation
Fore arm, leadership, the upper hand, supremacy.
ഈ കാര്യത്തിൽ അവൾ മുന്കൈ എടുത്തു.
ee kaaryathil aval munkai eduthu.
She took the initiative in this matter.
Dictionary entry
- മുന്കൈ (munkai) — Fore arm, leadership, the upper hand, supremacy.
Keep that second sense in mind: in news and conversation മുന്കൈ (munkai) turns up mostly in talk of who took the initiative, not of anatomy.
Common questions
How do you say fore in Malayalam?
There is no equivalent for fore on its own. മുന്കൈ (munkai) is the forearm and, by extension, the upper hand or initiative.
How do I say the fore part of something?
By putting a word meaning front before the noun. മുന്കൈ will not do that job.
