All Malayalam words for “verdict”
- ന്യായവിധി (nyaayavidhi) — Verdict or judgement of a court of law.
- വിധി (vidhi) — Fate, destiny, fortune, nemesis, Karma, result of one's Karma (deed) in the previous birth, order, Brahma, law, rule, verdict, judgement.
വിധി (vidhi) on its own is badly overloaded, running from fate and destiny to law and ruling, so the compound is safer when a court decision is meant.
Common questions
How do you say verdict in Malayalam?
A verdict is ന്യായവിധി (nyaayavidhi).
Why not use the shorter word alone?
Because വിധി (vidhi) first suggests fate or destiny to a Malayalam ear; the legal sense needs the justice word in front of it.
