Topic in Malayalam
The usual modern word for topic or subject is missing from this list. The nearest entry is പ്രകൃതം (prakritham), whose senses include the chief topic and the context of a discussion, though its main meaning is nature or character. പ്രശ്നം (prashnam) covers topic only in the sense of a question put up for discussion.
Nature, chief topic, habit, character, real nature, context, conduct.
അവന്റെ പ്രകൃതം വളരെ ശാന്തമാണ്.
avante prakritham valare shaanthamaanu.
His nature is very calm.
