Find in Malayalam
To find, in the sense of locating something lost or hidden, is കണ്ടെത്തുക (kandethuka). It joins kandu, saw, with ethuka, reach, so the verb literally means to arrive at seeing. It serves for a missing key and for an answer alike.
To find, to discover, to locate something that was lost or hidden; finding, discovering or locating something; getting hold of what was lost or searched for.
എന്റെ താക്കോൽ ഞാൻ കണ്ടെത്തി.
