Feed in Malayalam

To feed someone, in the plain sense of giving them food, is ആഹാരംകൊടുക്കുക (aharamkodukkuka), literally to give food. Being a two-part verb, it keeps its weight on the second half, and it serves for people and animals alike. Kerala speech also keeps a warmer verb for feeding by hand.
