Rhetorical in Malayalam
Neither entry here is an adjective. അലങ്കാരം (alankaram) is the figure of speech itself, the ornament of language, and it is the standard term in Malayalam poetics for simile, metaphor and the rest.
Most common translation
Ornament, rhetorical device.
ഉത്സവത്തിന് വീട്ടിൽ അലങ്കാരം ഒരുക്കി.
uthsavathinu veettil alankaram orukki
Decoration was arranged at home for the festival.
All Malayalam words for “rhetorical”
- അലങ്കാരം (alankaram) — Ornament, rhetorical device.
- അലങ്കാരപ്രയോഗം (alankara prayogam) — Rhetorical embellishment in poetry or literature.
alankara prayogam names the use of such a device in a text, so rhetorical in English is usually rendered in Malayalam by a phrase built on alankaram; a rhetorical question, which expects no answer, is described rather than named.
