Sentiments in Malayalam
In the language of the classical arts the nine sentiments are the rasas, and the Malayalam word is രസം (rasam). In the kitchen that very same word means taste or juice, which shows how closely the two ideas sit.
One of the bodily substances, taste, liking, aptitude, pleasure, one of the nine sentiments or expressions, essence, juice, the chemical element mercury, semen, poison, vigour, molten ghee, tongue.
ഈ മാങ്ങയുടെ രസം നല്ലതാണ്.
ee maangayude rasam nallathaanu.
The taste of this mango is good.
