Rainy in Malayalam
Malayalam handles rainy with a compound rather than an adjective: മഴക്കാലം (mazhakkaalam) is the rainy season, rain plus time. The kk in the join is held, which is what marks it as a compound. It is the everyday name for the monsoon months.
Rainy season.
മഴക്കാലം തുടങ്ങിയാൽ കുട വേണം.
mazhakkaalam thudangiyaal kuda venam.
Once the rainy season starts, you need an umbrella.
All Malayalam words for “rainy”
- മഴക്കാലം (mazhakkaalam) — Rainy season.
- അക്ഷരി (akshari) — Having a certain number of letters, rainy season, season of plenty.
- വര്ഷം (varsham) — Rain, rainy season, cloud, sprinkling, shower, shedding, irrigating, excess, year, country, territory.
- സീസൺ (seesan) — Season, a particular part of the year, as in the mango season or the rainy season.
There is no plain adjective rainy in this set; for a rainy day you would put the rain noun in front of the word for day, and വര്ഷം (varsham) is the Sanskrit word that now mostly means year.
