Unique in Malayalam
നിരുപമ (nirupama) means unique, literally having nothing to compare it with. It is a written adjective of praise, set before the noun it lifts. The first syllable stays short and the vowel in the middle gets its full value.
Most common translation
Incomparable, having no comparison or similarity, unique.
കായലിന്റെ ഭംഗി നിരുപമമാണ്.
kaayalinte bhangi nirupamamaan.
The beauty of the backwaters is incomparable.

- നിരുപമ (nirupama) — Incomparable, having no comparison or similarity, unique.
- അപര (apara) — Unique, noble.
- ഏകധനം (ekadhanam) — Valuable gift, unique gift.
അപര (apara) ordinarily means the other one or another in Malayalam, so it is a poor choice for unique despite the gloss, and ഏകധനം (ekadhanam) is a one of a kind gift.
