Generally in Malayalam
None of the options here is the ordinary Malayalam adverb for generally or usually. അടച്ച് (adachu) comes closest in some contexts: it means wholly or taken all together, as when you sum something up in one sweep. Literally it is a participle of the verb for closing, used to mean counting everything in.
Wholly, generally, in total.
എല്ലാവരെയും അടച്ച് കുറ്റം പറയരുത്.
ellaavareyum adachu kuttam parayaruthu.
Do not blame everyone wholesale.
All Malayalam words for “generally”
- അടച്ച് (adachu) — Wholly, generally, in total.
- അമ്മാവൻ (ammaavan) — Uncle, the brother of one's mother, used generally for an uncle in the family.
- ഏകദേശരൂപം (ekadesharoopam) — A rough outline or form, a generally acceptable way (form).
അടച്ച് (adachu) is about taking things collectively rather than about what is usually true. ഏകദേശരൂപം (ekadesharoopam) is a noun meaning a rough outline or an approximate form, so it is not an adverb at all.
Common questions
How do you say generally in Malayalam?
Neither listed word really translates it. അടച്ച് (adachu) means all together or wholly, and the adverb for what usually happens is a different word not given here.
When would I actually use അടച്ച് (adachu)?
When you lump items together, for instance giving one total for everything rather than listing each piece.
