Torrential in Malayalam
Malayalam handles torrential with a noun rather than an adjective: പെരുമഴ (perumazha), great rain, is the downpour itself. പേമാരി (pemari) is its stronger twin, the rain that makes the news during the monsoon. Neither can be placed in front of other nouns the way the English adjective can.
Heavy rain, torrential rain.
പെരുമഴ കാരണം സ്കൂൾ നേരത്തെ വിട്ടു.
perumazha kaaranam skool neratthe vittu.
Because of the heavy rain school closed early.
All Malayalam words for “torrential”
- പെരുമഴ (perumazha) — Heavy rain, torrential rain.
- പേമാരി (pemari) — Heavy, torrential rain.
So torrential rain is a single word in Malayalam, and torrential in any other combination has to be described rather than translated.
