Obtain in Malayalam
To obtain or get something is കിട്ടുക (kittuka) in Malayalam, one of the most used verbs in the language. It is built with the thing received as subject, so sentences work differently from English. The second item here is a mythological phrase, not a general equivalent.
Most common translation
Get, obtain.
എനിക്ക് ഇന്ന് കത്ത് കിട്ടി.
enikku innu kathu kitti.
I received a letter today.
