Zero in Malayalam
പൂജ്യം (poojyam) is zero, and it is a pleasing fact of the language that the word also means that which deserves reverence, the way Indian mathematics regarded the void it had just named.
Most common translation
Zero; the number nought, nothing at all, none.
അവന് പൂജ്യം മാർക്ക് കിട്ടി.
avanu poojyam maarkku kitti.
He got zero marks.
