Troubling in Malayalam
Troubling as a noun, the act of bothering someone, is അലട്ടല് (aladal), a-la-dal. It carries the flavour of nagging and pestering, the small persistent trouble rather than the grave kind. Spoken Malayalam uses it for a child who will not leave you alone and for a worry that keeps returning.
Troubling, pestering, annoyance, nagging.
കൊതുകിന്റെ അലട്ടല് രാത്രി ഉറങ്ങാൻ വിട്ടില്ല.
kothukinte aladal raathri urangaan vittilla.
The mosquitoes' pestering did not let me sleep at night.
Dictionary entry
- അലട്ടല് (aladal) — Troubling, pestering, annoyance, nagging.
It is a verbal noun, not an adjective, so a troubling report or a troubling thought needs a relative clause built on the verb rather than അലട്ടല് (aladal) placed in front.
