Present in Malayalam
A present you give someone is സമ്മാനം (sammaanam), the same word used for a prize at a school function. When present means the current time, speakers switch to വര്ത്തമാനം (varthamaanam), and for present as an adjective ഇപ്പോഴത്തെ (ippozhathe) does the work in front of a noun.
Present, prize, respect, honour, adoration.
മത്സരത്തിൽ അവൾക്ക് സമ്മാനം കിട്ടി.
mathsarathil avalkku sammaanam kitti.
She got a prize in the competition.
