Quiet in Malayalam
Quiet in the sense of calm is ശാന്തമായ (shaanthamaaya), the adjective off the noun for peace, used of an evening, a street or a temperament. Both aa vowels are long, giving it an unhurried rhythm. It is as at home in a novel as in a property advertisement.
Calm, quiet.
അവൾ ശാന്തമായ സ്വരത്തിൽ മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞു.
aval shaanthamaaya swaratthil marupadi paranju.
She replied in a composed voice.
