How do you say kiss in Malayalam?

There isn't a direct, commonly used translation for "kiss" in Malayalam. Malayalam is a culture where physical affection is generally expressed more subtly and indirectly.

Here are a few ways to express the concept of a kiss in Malayalam:

* "നമ്മുടെ ചുണ്ടുകൾ ചേർത്തു" (Nammude chundugal cherthu): This literally translates to "our lips joined" and can be used to describe a kiss in a poetic or romantic context.

* "ചുണ്ടിൽ ചുംബനം" (Chundil chumbanam): This literally translates to "a kiss on the lip". While technically accurate, it might be considered a bit formal or old-fashioned.

* "മുത്തം" (Muttam): This word is usually associated with a "pearl" or "gem". While it's not directly translated as "kiss," it can be used figuratively to express a "loving touch" or "a precious moment."

It's important to remember that cultural context and the relationship between the people involved will determine how best to express this concept in Malayalam.
