How to Say "Subject" in Kannada

ವಿಷಯ

vishaya

The English phrase 'subject' is translated into Kannada as ವಿಷಯ (vishaya).

ವಿಷಯ is used to refer to a topic of conversation, a subject of study or the subject matter of a book or discussion.

Meaning: main topic (noun)

How do you pronounce it?

vishaya

While ವಿಷಯ means 'subject', if you want to talk about the 'subject' of a sentence in grammar, Kannada uses the term ಕರ್ತೃ, which literally means 'doer'.
In old administrative contexts, ವಿಷಯ referred to a district or a specific territorial jurisdiction rather than a topic of conversation.
The Sanskrit root of ವಿಷಯ originally referred to 'measurement' or 'boundary', which explains why the word evolved to mean the 'area' or 'scope' of a specific topic.
