Resembling in Malayalam
സദൃശ (sadrusha) is the Sanskrit adjective for like or resembling, and in Malayalam it works as the first half of a compound rather than on its own. You find it in formal prose and in legal drafting where two things are said to be of a resembling kind.
Most common translation
Equal, like, similar, resembling.
ഇരുവരുടെയും കൈയക്ഷരം സദൃശമാണ്.
iruvarudeyum kaiyaksharam sadrushamaanu.
Both their handwritings are similar.
All Malayalam words for “resembling”
- സദൃശ (sadrusha) — Equal, like, similar, resembling.
- പവിഴമല്ലി (pavizhamalli) — A kind of flower resembling coral.
pavizhamalli has nothing to do with resembling in general; it is the name of a flower whose look recalls coral, and it appears here only because its definition uses the word.
Common questions
How do you say resembling in Malayalam?
Use സദൃശ (sadrusha), normally attached to the noun that follows it.
Can sadrusha stand alone in a sentence?
Rarely. It behaves like a prefix, so Malayalam builds a compound with it instead of using it as a separate adjective.
