Distinguish in Malayalam
തിരിച്ചറിയുക (thirichariyuka) is the verb for distinguishing one thing from another, and it doubles as recognise or identify. The thiri element means to turn or separate, which is a useful hook for remembering it.
Recognize, distinguish, identify.
ആദ്യം ശരിയായ വഴി തിരിച്ചറിയുക.
aadyam shariyaaya vazhi thirichariyuka.
First recognize the right path.

Common questions
How do you say distinguish in Malayalam?
തിരിച്ചറിയുക (thirichariyuka) means to distinguish, recognise or identify.
Is vivechikkuka a safe substitute?
Only in a moral context. വിവേചിക്കുക (vivechikkuka) means to discriminate between good and evil, so it sounds odd for telling two colours apart.
