jayikkuka
To pass in Malayalam is expressed as ജയിക്കുക (jayikkuka).
Meaning: to move or be moved from one place to another (verb)

How do you pronounce it?

jayikkuka

Did you know?

  • In English, 'to pass' can mean to hand an object to someone, but you would never use ജയിക്കുക for this action in Malayalam. Using it would make it sound like the object is a trophy you have won.
  • The word ജയിക്കുക is actually a cognate of the Sanskrit word ജയം, which translates to 'victory' rather than the English concept of 'passing' an object.
  • In Malayalam, 'passing' a milestone or a specific age is expressed using entirely different verbs than ജയിക്കുക, as those events are not viewed as competitions to be won.
