Quotation in Malayalam
A quotation, a passage lifted from someone else, is ഉദ്ധാരണം (uddhaaranam), built on the verb for raising or lifting up, which is the same image English uses when it speaks of citing. The double dd is held and the aa is long. Literary essays and editorials use it freely.
Quotation, restoration.
പ്രസംഗത്തിൽ ഒരു ഉദ്ധാരണം അധ്യാപകൻ ചേർത്തു.
prasamgathil oru uddhaaranam adhyaapakan cherthu.
The teacher added a quotation to the speech.
Dictionary entry
- ഉദ്ധാരണം (uddhaaranam) — Quotation, restoration.
The same noun also means restoration or upliftment, so context decides; for a quotation in the commercial sense of a price estimate Malayalam keeps the English word.
