The English word "lecture" is translated to Malayalam as പ്രഭാഷണം.
പ്രഭാഷണം is a noun used to refer to a spoken lesson.
Meaning: a spoken lesson (noun)

Did you know?

  • In some classical contexts, the act of delivering a പ്രഭാഷണം was considered a performance art, blending educational content with a rhythmic, oratorical style of delivery.
  • The term പ്രഭാഷണം can be used to describe a public address that lasts for hours, a common occurrence in Kerala's vibrant political culture, which differs from the typical 50-minute academic slot.
  • While പ്രഭാഷണം is the formal term, students in Kerala often use the English word 'lecture' even when speaking Malayalam. Using the formal Malayalam word in a casual student conversation can sound overly poetic or stiff.

Examples in context

  • ആ പ്രഭാഷണം വളരെ മികച്ചതായിരുന്നു.
    aa prabhāṣaṇam valare mikcathāyirunnu.
    That lecture was very good.
  • അദ്ദേഹം ഒരു പ്രഭാഷണം നടത്തുന്നു.
    addeham oru prabhāṣaṇam nadathunnu.

  • ഇന്നത്തെ പ്രഭാഷണം എനിക്ക് ഇഷ്ടമായി.
    innathe prabhāṣaṇam enikku ishtamāyi.
    I liked today's lecture.
