Right in Malayalam
For right in the sense of correct, Malayalam says ശരി (shari). It does double duty as a one word answer meaning fine or all right, which makes it one of the most used words in the language.
Most common translation
Right, correct, true; also used by itself to mean all right; okay, all right, fine; also correct.
നിന്റെ ഉത്തരം ശരി ആണ്.
ninte uttharam shari aanu.
Your answer is right.
