- In many Malayalam-speaking households, instead of using an adjective, people often use the word കുറുമ്പ് (kurumbu) to describe a child's 'cute' naughtiness or playful mischief.
- While ഭംഗിയുള്ള means 'beautiful' or 'cute', using it to describe an adult might inadvertently imply they are 'pretty' in a delicate or fragile way rather than traditionally handsome or beautiful.
- The root of the word ഭംഗി (bhangi) refers to 'beauty' or 'grace', but in certain colloquial contexts, it can also be used to describe the 'gloss' or 'shine' of an object.
