Purify in Malayalam
The plain verb for purify is സംസ്കരിക്കുക (samskarikkuka), literally to make clean, built from the noun for cleanliness plus the causative aakkuka. It is what you would say about water, a vessel or a room. The sh at the front is the palatal one, close to the sh in ship.
Clean, purify.
കുടിവെള്ളം നന്നായി തിളപ്പിച്ച് ശുചിയാക്കുക.
kudivellam nannaayi thilappichu shuchiyaakkuka.
Purify the drinking water by boiling it well.
All Malayalam words for “purify”
- ശുചിയാക്കുക (shuchiyaakkuka) — Clean, purify.
- സംസ്കരിക്കുക (samskarikkuka) — Purify, refine, process, reform, civilize, cremate or bury (dead body).
- അടിച്ചുതളി (adichuthali) — Sweep the floor and sprinkle water on it (to purify it as a ritual), the work of sweeping and scrubbing the floor.
ശുചിയാക്കുക (shuchiyaakkuka) is broader and drifts into refine, process, reform and even cremate, so it is a poor fit when you simply mean to make something clean; അടിച്ചുതളി (adichuthali) is the specific household ritual of sweeping and sprinkling the floor.
