Encounter in Malayalam
To encounter in the sense of clashing is ഏറ്റുമുട്ടുക (eattumudduka), a verb used for armies meeting, teams facing each other and people coming into conflict. The sense of confrontation is built in, so it is not a neutral word for meeting.
Clash, encounter.
കളിയിൽ രണ്ടു ടീമുകൾ ഏറ്റുമുട്ടുകയാണ്.
kaliyil randu deemukal eattumuddukayaanu.
Two teams are clashing in the game.
