Sheep in Malayalam
ആട് (aad) is the word you will hear, but it covers goat and sheep together, with the goat as the default animal in Kerala. There is no separate plain word for sheep in this list, so a speaker who needs the distinction adds a qualifier.
Most common translation
Goat, sheep.
ആട് ഇല തിന്നുന്നു.
adu ila thinnunnu.
The goat is eating leaves.
