Shortly in Malayalam
നചിരം (nachiram) means shortly or in no time, but it is a bookish Sanskrit word you will meet in writing rather than in conversation. For shortly after, the dictionary gives the phrase അധികം താമസിയാതെ (adhikam thamasiyath), literally without much delay.
Most common translation
Shortly, soon, in no time.
മഴ നചിരം നിൽക്കും എന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു.
mazha nachiram nilkkum ennu thonnunnu.
It seems the rain will stop soon.
All Malayalam words for “shortly”
- നചിരം (nachiram) — Shortly, soon, in no time.
- അധികം താമസിയാതെ (adhikam thamasiyath) — Shortly after, sooner or later, before long.
Everyday Malayalam says shortly with the common words for soon and at once, which are not listed here, so do not take nachiram as the spoken norm.
