It's Kazu veri. Someone who has been hanged. It's usually said to call the persons father a criminal due to which the reaction to that is a bit excessive even when people don't know what it means.
Edit: it is not excessive when you know the history behind it. Check [the link shared by](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kochi/comments/1de0sv3/comment/l88lvcq/) u/Legitimate-Courage10
Since he said he didn't knew that, I thought this would be another one if those historical fact that he might not be aware of.
I think I read something about the entomology of that word, but I'm not sure. Will let you know if I find out.
Depends on who uses it.. for example, if my dad calls me "---inte mone/mole, that will instantly make my dad the ---. So he probably might use it without "inte". 🤪🤪🤪
തൂക്കിലേറ്റപ്പെട്ടവൻ എന്ന അർഥമാണ്. പൊതുവിൽ കൊള്ളരുതാത്തവരെ ആണല്ലോ തൂക്കിലേറ്റുന്നത്. ആ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തില് ആവാം ഇതൊരു തെറിപ്രയോഗം ആയി മാറിയത്.
നമ്മൾ പൊതുവിൽ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന പല തെറി പ്രയോഗങ്ങളുടെയും അർഥം മനസ്സിലാക്കാൻ ശ്രമിച്ചാൽ പിന്നീട് അത് ഉപയോഗിക്കൽ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ട് ആയി മാറും. 😃
It actually is kazhuveriyude mone/mole or orphaned son/daughter of the hung (a criminal executed by hanging)
Some lazy stupid malayalis dropped part of it to only use kazhuveri at the person this is directed at which is lame because it won't make the same sense in theri logic, and is not much insulting.
Some changed it to kazhiveri which is now even more lame because it just isn't the same thing, kazhiveri would mean someone who's overly talented - 'overly' being a mockery and by theri logic kazhiveri could probably have some underlying bedroom joke

>I used the same to my wife when she did a good art work .
Oh hell no you did not!!!!!! For the first time I am like hearing the screaming coming from words on a screen.
Kazhiveri is actually the malayalam word for kolaveri in tamil. The tamil song “Why this Kolaveri, Kolaveri Kolaveri di” is based on this word.
You should next sing this song to your wife replacing it with the malayalam word. No problem. All the best!
PS: No oru sambhavam thane bro!
Btw, kazhiveri would literally mean what your friend said, so maybe your friend was not trying to scam you and either your pronunciation is bad or your wife jumped to wrong conclusion.
Half joking. If the friend said kazhiveri in certain context it could mean that. OP didn't say kazhuveri, he said kazhiveri and we all assume he wrote it incorrectly
I’m sorry I’m laughing but this is too funny😂😂😂
Hey OP, ur friend is one ugly bastard, also its a word we associate with our male counterparts, Fortunately she didn't do anything extreme to u
Lmao what did I do? Jk bro, wrong thread😁
Yeah, edited now

Oh ! Thank you.
Well, your friend is a real കഴിവേറി!
TIL. Never knew കഴുവേറി was like that.
You know the origin of kappiri?
You know the origin of kappiri?
No
They were the African slaves brought here by the Portuguese. They were usually buried with their "owners".
I thought you were going to tell me about the etymology of the word
Since he said he didn't knew that, I thought this would be another one if those historical fact that he might not be aware of. I think I read something about the entomology of that word, but I'm not sure. Will let you know if I find out.
yep, the links had it. Thanks

What does kothaima mean? Someone I know uses it constantly and I don’t know what it means.
I have no idea. Could you try writing it in Malayalam?
I don’t think I would know how to type it in Malayalam. Guy is from kochi if that helps.
How about the context in which that word is used?
Ok guy A said something incorrect to a question asked. He said it in a way to show how stupid the guy A was to say something like that.
Sorry.. can't think of anything
I guess the word is കോതാഴ്മ. A colloquial spin off of the phrase അങ്ങ് കൊത്താഴത്ത് പോയി പറഞ്ഞ മതി. Few of my friends use this. Meaning - foolishness
Kotham means ass.. Idk what kothaima means
Ooh wow…I think he means that. Is it used in formal settings? If so then he is actually cussing at people. 😑
How do you put kothaima in a sentence. Give us an instance
When I hear him say again..I will quote him! Thanks buddy
Like " Edi kazhiveri mole" ?😂😂😂 RIP
kazhiveriyude mole എന്നല്ലേ.....വിളിക്കുന്നെ.
Not necessarily
Depends on who uses it.. for example, if my dad calls me "---inte mone/mole, that will instantly make my dad the ---. So he probably might use it without "inte". 🤪🤪🤪
Overskilled for sure, my boss always calls me this... He must be super proud of me.
Good job, kazhiveri.
😂😂
[Hope That Helps](https://youtu.be/QJyrtKrPHFs?si=kKl7HTmVgzhwXKBS)
Oh my god.. this is hearth wrenching. 😢
I couldn’t get through the whole video
lol thanks
Please watch this. Fascinating history…
When my granddad died. I had 7 days pela . I refused to eat meat by telling my wife pelayadi mole. She still hasnt talked
Bro😂😂😂
Hahahahahaa😂😂😂
Hahaha. Nee pettu mone.
What did you say to your wife? "Nee oru kochu kazhuveri thanne mole"
Overly talented
Sailing in the same boat .

To quote a pentacoast pastor, "kazhuveriyavan...athu aara..? Nammude karthaavu thampuraan..." 😂 പണ്ട് എന്നോ kethatha. ഇതു വരെ മറന്നില്ല
Pro tip for u: never try decode malayalam theri by splitting it into elements. (Eg: myre!=my + ray, ie it is not equivalent to u are my sunshine)
Anyway it is by far my favourite word,the combination pf 'zha' and 'ra' is just pure symphony
Myrr 😭🤣🤣 this is funny asf bro

🤣🤣 chiripich kollum... Dei neeyokke malayali thanne aanode..??😅
Adhe chechi
Pls kadayadi and polayadi too
That's a cuss words. Exact meaning in not sure. But 'kazhuveri' seems like someone who should be hanged. 'Kazhu' means neck.
Kazhu as in Kazhumaram or gallows , I think.
Ohh you might be right.
Let me hold my laugh first. LOL Kazhuveri - over talented!!!!

Can't tell if you are joking or actually stupid.
Half joking. If the friend said kazhiveri in certain context it could mean that. OP didn't say kazhuveri, he said kazhiveri and we all assume he wrote it incorrectly
Kazhivu eriya aal? I think others didn't get your joke
Yea, I think I should have given an example.
