Imagine in Malayalam
The dictionary equivalent of imagine is കല്പ്പിക്കുക (kalppikkuka), with the pp held firmly in the middle. Writers use it for forming something in the mind, though in everyday speech the very same verb far more often means to order or decree.
Imagine, think, command, order.
രാജാവ് സമ്മാനം നൽകാൻ കൽപ്പിച്ചു
rajavu sammanam nalkan kalppichu
The king ordered a reward to be given.
All Malayalam words for “imagine”

- ഊഹിക്കുക (oohikkuka) — Guess, conjecture, suppose, imagine, infer.
- സ്വപ്നംകാണുക (swapnamkaanuka) — Dream, imagine what is not real, fancy.
കല്പ്പിക്കുക is imagine in the creative sense but doubles as command; ഊഹിക്കുക (oohikkuka) is the one for imagine meaning guess or suppose; സ്വപ്നംകാണുക (swapnamkaanuka) is literally to dream, used of imagining what is not real.
