Rose in Malayalam
A rose is റോസാപ്പൂവ് (rosaappoovu), the borrowed name of the flower with the Malayalam word for flower attached. It also stands for the pinkish red colour of the bloom, which is how a rose coloured sari gets described.
Rose; the rose flower, the pinkish red colour of it; in English rose is also the past form of rise.
അവൻ അവൾക്ക് ഒരു റോസാപ്പൂവ് കൊടുത്തു.
avan avalkku oru rosaappoovu koduthu.
He gave her a rose.
All Malayalam words for “rose”
- റോസാപ്പൂവ് (rosaappoovu) — Rose; the rose flower, the pinkish red colour of it; in English rose is also the past form of rise.
- പിങ്ക് (pinku) — Pink, a light red colour, the colour of a rose petal.
- റോജാ (rojaa) — Rose flower, rose plant.
rojaa is the same borrowing without the element for flower and is common in older writing and in names, while pinku is the colour pink; English rose is also the past tense of rise, and that sense has nothing to do with any of these.
