Wholesale in Malayalam
The entry here is മൊത്തവില (mothavila), which is the wholesale price, not wholesale in general, since it joins the word for total with the word for price. Say mothavila with the stress on the first syllable. Traders use it constantly when quoting rates.
Wholesale price.
ചന്തയില് അരിയുടെ മൊത്തവില കുറഞ്ഞു.
chanthayil ariyude mothavila kuranju.
The wholesale price of rice fell in the market.
Dictionary entry
- മൊത്തവില (mothavila) — Wholesale price.
For wholesale trade, a wholesale market or buying wholesale, Malayalam puts the same first element in front of the words for trade or market instead, so this compound alone will not carry those senses.
