Situation in Malayalam
The word for a situation or state of affairs is സ്ഥിതി (sthithi). It is short, two syllables, and it stretches from the political situation to how a patient is doing. News anchors in Kerala use it several times a bulletin.
Situation, condition, the state of affairs.
ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ സ്ഥിതി അത്ര നല്ലതല്ല.
ippozhathe sthithi athra nallathalla
