What is uncle called in Malayalam?

In Malayalam, "uncle" can be called in a few ways, depending on the context and level of formality:

* Chacha (ചച്ച): This is the most common and informal way to refer to an uncle.

* Chaayan (ചായൻ): This is a slightly more formal way to refer to an uncle.

* Mama (മാമ): This term is used for the brother of one's mother.

* Kaka (കക): This term is used for the brother of one's father.

* Achan (അച്ഛൻ): This is a more respectful term, meaning "father", but can also be used to refer to an uncle who is older and respected.

The specific term used depends on the age of the uncle, the relationship between the speaker and the uncle, and the context of the conversation.
