Fed in Malayalam
Fed in the sense of having given someone food is ഊട്ടി (ootti), the past of oottuka. The double t is held, and the word suggests feeding by hand, the way a mother feeds a child at the table. For the other English sense, being fed up, Malayalam reaches for a quite different verb.
Fed, gave food to someone (past form of the verb oottuka, to feed).
അമ്മ കുഞ്ഞിനെ ചോറ് ഊട്ടി.
amma kunjine choru ootti.
Mother fed the baby rice.
