Hence in Malayalam
അതിനാൽ (athinaal) is hence or therefore, literally by that, linking a reason to what follows from it. The th is soft: a-thi-naal. It opens the second half of a sentence in writing and in careful speech.
Most common translation
Hence, therefore, for that reason.
മഴ പെയ്തു, അതിനാൽ ക്ലാസ് മുടങ്ങി.
mazha peythu athinaal klaasu mudangi
It rained, hence the class was cancelled.
All Malayalam words for “hence”
- അതിനാൽ (athinaal) — Hence, therefore, for that reason.
- അതിനാല് (athinal) — Therefore, so, for, hence.
- മയിര് (mayir) — Hair, pubic hair (hence vulgar).
അതിനാല് is the same word in an older spelling, so the two entries mean exactly the same; മയിര് appears here only because the English word hence turns up in its explanation, and it is a coarse word for hair.
