True in Malayalam
True in the everyday sense, as in that is true, is ശരി (shari), sha-ri. It doubles as right, correct and all right, so a nod of agreement and a tick on a test paper share the word. You will hear it a hundred times a day in Kerala.
Most common translation
Right, correct, true; also used by itself to mean all right; okay, all right, fine; also correct.
നിന്റെ ഉത്തരം ശരി ആണ്.
ninte uttharam shari aanu.
Your answer is right.

Common questions
