Rustic in Malayalam
As a quality, rustic is അപരിഷ്കൃത (aparishkrutha), meaning unpolished or crude, the opposite of refined. It is a judgement rather than a neutral description, so it will not carry the warmth of rustic charm.
Most common translation
Rustic, crude.
ഇത് ഒരു അപരിഷ്കൃത ഗ്രാമമാണ്.
ithu oru aparishkrutha graamamaanu
This is a rustic village.
