What is the English word for mazhakuzhi?

There isn't a single perfect English word for "mazhakuzhi." It's a Malayalam word, and it's best understood by describing its components and their combined meaning:

* Mazha (മഴ) means "rain" in Malayalam.

* Kuzhi (കുഴി) means "pit" or "hole" in Malayalam.

Therefore, "mazhakuzhi" literally translates to "rain pit" or "rain hole."

However, "mazhakuzhi" isn't just any pit or hole. It refers to a specific type of natural depression in the ground formed by rainwater. This depression can be a small hollow in the soil or a larger water-filled pond.

Here are some possible English translations depending on the context:

* Rainwater depression

* Rain-filled hollow

* Rain puddle (if referring to a small, temporary water collection)

* Rain pool (if referring to a larger, more permanent water collection)

* Temporary pond

You can also use a more descriptive phrase that captures the specific characteristics of the "mazhakuzhi" in your context.
