Reap in Malayalam
To reap is കൊയ്യുക (koyyuka), the harvest verb, with a doubled yy that makes the middle of the word glide. It is used of cutting paddy and, figuratively, of reaping what you have sown. Harvest songs and farming reports share it.
Most common translation
Reap, harvest, cut a number of things together.
കര്ഷകര് നെല്ല് കൊയ്യുന്നു.
karshakar nellu koyyunnu.
The farmers are harvesting paddy.
All Malayalam words for “reap”
- കൊയ്യുക (koyyuka) — Reap, harvest, cut a number of things together.
- അറക്കുക (Arakkuka) — Cut, reap, chop.
- മൂരുക (mooruka) — Cut, sharpen, reap, stretch (the body), yawn.
