Weed in Malayalam
Neither entry is the general word for weeds in a garden. അപ്പ (appa) names one particular weed, and പായല് (payal) is the water weed and moss that forms a green film on ponds and paddy fields. Say appa with a doubled p and the stress on the first syllable.
Most common translation
A kind of weed.
പറമ്പിൽ അപ്പ വളർന്നു നിറഞ്ഞു.
parambil appa valarnnu niranju.
The weed grew and filled the yard.
All Malayalam words for “weed”
- അപ്പ (appa) — A kind of weed.
- പായല് (payal) — Water weed, mosses.
If you need the general sense of unwanted plants pulled out of a field, these two will not carry it; they are names of specific plants rather than a category.
