What does “aaraam” mean in Kannada?
ಆರಾಮ್ (aaraam)
noun · Kannada (from Persian via Urdu)
“comfort, rest, well-being; 'aaraam illa' = feeling unwell”
In this family comedy a relative frets that «ಅಣ್ಣಾಗ ಆರಾಮಿಲ್ಲ» (“[my] brother isn’t well”) and proposes a trip to the hospital. ಆರಾಮ್ (aaraam) means comfort, rest, or well-being, so ಆರಾಮಿಲ್ಲ (aaraam illa) is “not well, out of sorts.”
Kannada borrowed it from Persian via Urdu, the same aaram behind Hindi-Urdu “aaram se” (“take it easy”). Ask a Kannadiga “ಆರಾಮ್ ಇದ್ದೀರಾ?” (aaraam iddeera?) and you’re asking “are you keeping well?”. One loanword does the work of “comfortable,” “relaxed,” and “in good health” all at once.
