Common questions
How do you say thoughtful in Malayalam?
ചിന്താപര (chinthapara) for a reflective person; thoughtful in the sense of kind needs a different word.
Why does it also mean anxious?
Because the noun behind it covers thinking and worrying at once, so a thoughtful face and a worried one share one adjective.
