Inwards in Malayalam
Inwards is അകത്തോട്ട് (akathottu) in Malayalam, built from the word for inside with a directional ending. It covers inwards and into together, so it answers the question where to.
Most common translation
Inwards, into.
മഴ വന്നപ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങൾ അകത്തോട്ട് കയറി.
mazha vannappol njangal akathottu kayari.
When the rain came we went inside.
Dictionary entry
- അകത്തോട്ട് (akathottu) — Inwards, into.
A single option is given, and it marks direction rather than position, so it is not used for simply being inside something.
