Resistance in Malayalam
എതിര്പ്പ് (ethirpp) is the word for resistance in the sense people mean most often: opposition to a proposal, a protest against a project, pushback from a crowd. It is the verbal noun of the verb for standing against something, and it is at home in both news and conversation.
Confronting, attack, opposition, resistance, protest.
ആ തീരുമാനത്തിന് വീട്ടിൽ എതിര്പ്പ് ഉണ്ടായി.
aa theerumaanathinu veettil ethirppu undaayi.
