Possibility in Malayalam
In Malayalam, possibility is സാധ്യത (saadhyatha), the noun for the chance or likelihood that something will happen. It fits weather talk, exam results and business plans alike, and it carries no sense of certainty. Older books print the same word as സാദ്ധ്യത (saaddhyatha).
Potential, possibility, likelihood; the capacity for something to happen or develop.
ഈ കുട്ടിക്ക് നല്ല സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്.
