Subject in Malayalam
Malayalam reaches for സംഗതി (samgathi) when subject means the matter under discussion, the thing being dealt with. The same word serves for an affair, a case or a circumstance, so context does the narrowing. It is common in both speech and writing.
Subject, affair, case, circumstance, propriety, relation, accidental occurrence, sexual intercourse.
സംഗതി എന്താണെന്ന് ആദ്യം പറയൂ.
samgathi enthanennu adyam parayoo.
First tell me what the matter is.
