General in Malayalam
As an adjective, general is പൊതു (pothu), which carries common and public along with it. General meeting, general knowledge and public road all take this word. A longer form with the same sense is പൊതുവിലുള്ള (pothuvilulla).
Most common translation
Common, general, public, universal.
ഇത് എല്ലാവർക്കും ഉള്ള പൊതു സ്ഥലമാണ്.
