Learned in Malayalam
Calling someone learned, Malayalam reaches for a noun rather than an adjective: പണ്ഡിതന് (pandithan), a learned or wise man. വിദ്വാന് (vidwaan) carries the same respect and is often used as a title for a scholar. A gathering of such people is സദസ്സ് (sadass).
Most common translation
Learned or wise man, physician.
പണ്ഡിതന് സദസ്സില് പ്രസംഗിച്ചു.
pandithan sadassil prasangichu.
The scholar gave a speech in the assembly.
