Risk in Malayalam
Malayalam has simply taken the English word over, and റിസ്ക് (risk) is what speakers, newspapers and insurance agents in Kerala use. It is written in Malayalam letters and inflected like a native noun.
Most common translation
Risk, the chance of loss, harm or danger.
ഈ യാത്രയിൽ കുറച്ച് റിസ്ക് ഉണ്ട്.
ee yaathrayil kurachu risk undu
There is some risk in this trip.
All Malayalam words for “risk”
- റിസ്ക് (risk) — Risk, the chance of loss, harm or danger.
- കെടുതി (keduthi) — Ruin, loss, danger, risk, disease.
- സാഹസം (saahasam) — Rashness, recklessness, hasty action, violence, adventure, risk.
keduthi is harm or ruin that has already happened rather than the chance of it, and saahasam is rashness and the appetite for adventure, so it fits risk taking rather than risk itself.
