Story-writer in Malayalam
This entry gives two words at once, കഥാകാരന്, കഥാകൃത്ത് (kathaakaarankathaa), and both name a writer of stories. The first is the word for story plus the ending for a doer, so it reads as story maker; the second is the more formal of the pair. Book jackets and literary pages use them interchangeably.
കഥാകാരന്, കഥാകൃത്ത് (kathaakaarankathaa)
Story-writer, novelist.
ഈ കഥാകാരന് ഗ്രാമത്തിൽ ജനിച്ചു.
ee kathaakaaran graamathil janichu.
This story-writer was born in the village.
Dictionary entry
- കഥാകാരന്, കഥാകൃത്ത് (kathaakaarankathaa) — Story-writer, novelist.
The dictionary runs the two headwords together in its transliteration, which is why it looks longer than either word spoken aloud.
