മലയാളം വാക്കുകളുടെ അർഥം: മലയാളം–ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് നിഘണ്ടുMalayalam word meanings: a Malayalam–English dictionary

Search three ways

One word can be searched in three writing styles.

You do not need a Malayalam keyboard. Type “വെള്ളം” in Malayalam, “vellam” in Manglish or “water” in English, and the dictionary finds the same word.

How to look up a word

Open the dictionary, search and select a result.

1. Open engane.ai/dictionary. You do not need to sign in.
2. Type the word in Malayalam, Manglish or English.
3. Tap a result to see its English meanings, the Malayalam definition and the other ways the word is spelled.
4. If the word is not in the dictionary, sign in and ask the AI for its meaning.

The search runs on your own phone or computer, which is why it is free and fast.

Tips when a word does not show up

Try the root word or another spelling when a search is empty.

Malayalam words change their endings a lot — വീട് becomes വീട്ടിൽ, വീടിന്റെ, വീട്ടുകാർ — and Manglish has no single spelling. If a search finds nothing, one of these usually helps:

• Search for the root form: “veedu” rather than “veettil”, “padikkuka” rather than “padichu”.
• Try another Manglish spelling. The sound ഴ can be typed as “zh” or “l” (“vazha”, “vala”), and long vowels as double letters (“vaazha”).
• Type the word in Malayalam script instead. If you have no Malayalam keyboard, the typing guide shows the easy ways.
• Search one word at a time. For a phrase or an idiom, ask the chat instead.

Who finds it useful

Use meanings for study, homework and everyday writing.

Students can go further with AI for Malayalam students, which covers study cards and quizzes made from your own notes.

AI meanings for words the dictionary does not have

Missing words can get AI meanings, with a daily limit and accuracy caveat.

New words, regional usage and unusual forms are sometimes missing from any dictionary. Once you are signed in, you can ask the AI for the meaning of such a word — up to 30 words a day, with no credits and no chat messages used.

An AI meaning can be wrong, so for anything important, check a printed dictionary or ask a teacher.

Learn how words are used: the chat and the games

Practice meanings through example sentences, word quizzes and proverbs.

A meaning is only half the story. In the Malayalam chat you can ask how a word is used in real sentences:

• “What is the difference between ആഗ്രഹം and ആശ?”
• “Write three sentences using ‘ഉത്തരവാദിത്തം’.”
• “How would I say this English sentence in everyday Malayalam?”

Engane’s games include a Word quiz on Malayalam meanings and a Proverbs game where you finish the saying — an easy way to make new words stick. See the games guide. The dictionary data comes from Olam and Datuk under the open ODbL licence.
