Radio-active in Malayalam
The only entry here is റേഡിയം (rediyam), radium, the radioactive metal itself, not the adjective. It is the English element name in Malayalam script. For the adjective radioactive, scientific Malayalam builds a compound on its word for ray.
A radio-active metal radium.
റേഡിയം ഒരു റേഡിയോ ആക്ടീവ് ലോഹമാണ്.
rediyam oru rediyo aakteev lohamaanu.
Radium is a radioactive metal.
Dictionary entry
- റേഡിയം (rediyam) — A radio-active metal radium.
So this page can give you the element but not a word for radioactive; treating rediyam as the adjective would be wrong, since it names a specific metal.
