Guess in Malayalam
ഊഹിക്കുക (oohikkuka) is the verb Malayalis use for guessing, and it stretches from a casual guess to a reasoned conjecture. The first syllable is a long oo, oo-hik-ku-ka. You hear it in quiz talk, in detective stories and in everyday speculation about what might happen.

Common questions
How do you say guess in Malayalam?
Use the verb ഊഹിക്കുക (oohikkuka), or the noun അനുമാനം (anumanam) when you mean a guess itself.
Which word fits a wild guess versus a calculated one?
ഊഹിക്കുക (oohikkuka) covers both, but in careful writing അനുമാനം (anumanam) suggests a guess drawn from evidence, so it sounds more considered.
