Foreman in Malayalam
Just one entry is listed under foreman, ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran), and its sense is narrow: the man who runs a chitty or subscription lottery. Kerala's chitty system gives the word its everyday currency. For the foreman of a building site or a jury it will not do.
ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran)
Foreman of subscription lottery or chitty, member of a club or chitty.
ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് ഇന്ന് വീട്ടിൽ വന്നു.
chittikkaaran innu veettil vannu.
The chitty foreman came to the house today.
Dictionary entry
- ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran) — Foreman of subscription lottery or chitty, member of a club or chitty.
Since there is a single option, the mismatch is what matters: ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran) is a chitty organiser or club member rather than a supervisor of workers.
