Unfavourable in Malayalam
When circumstances work against you, Malayalam calls them വിപരീത (vipareetha), an adjective whose core sense is contrary or opposite. It goes before the noun and is at home in weather bulletins, court language and ordinary grumbling. Being Sanskritic, it keeps its vowels clean, with the long one in the middle held.
Opposite, unfavourable, hostile, contrary.
അവന് ഇതിൽ വിപരീതമായ അഭിപ്രായമാണ്.
avanu ithil vipareethamaaya abhipraayamaanu.
He has the opposite opinion on this.
