What is grandaunt in Malayalam?

There isn't a single direct translation for "grandaunt" in Malayalam. It depends on the specific relationship:

If the grandaunt is your father's sister:

* അമ്മയുടെ അനിയത്തി (ammayade aniyatthi): This means "mother's younger sister".

* അമ്മയുടെ ചേച്ചി (ammayade checchi): This means "mother's elder sister".

If the grandaunt is your mother's sister:

* അച്ഛന്റെ അനിയത്തി (achchande aniyatthi): This means "father's younger sister".

* അച്ഛന്റെ ചേച്ചി (achchande checchi): This means "father's elder sister".

Alternatively, you could use:

* പഴയ അമ്മായി (pazha ammayi): This literally means "old aunt" and could be used for any grandaunt.

It's important to note that the specific term used might vary depending on the speaker's dialect and region.
