Rains in Malayalam
There is no entry here for the rains as a season or for the plural of rain. What the dictionary offers instead are words about rain failing or arriving: അനാവൃഷ്ടി (anavrishti) is the failure of the rains, drought. For the rains in the sense of the monsoon, Malayalam uses its noun for rain or the compound for the rainy season.
Rainlessness, drought, failure of rains,.
ഈ വർഷം നാട്ടിൽ അനാവൃഷ്ടി ഉണ്ടായി.
ee varsham naattil anaavrushti undaayi.
