Somebody in Malayalam
Somebody is ആരോ (aaro), formed from the question word for who with an indefinite ending, so it literally means who-knows-who. It covers an unknown person and a person you prefer not to name. Three syllables, the first long.
Most common translation
Somebody; some person, an unnamed or unknown person.
ആരോ വാതിലിൽ മുട്ടുന്നു.
aaro vaathilil muttunnu.
Somebody is knocking at the door.
