Provide in Malayalam
കൊടുക്കുക (kodukkuka) is the ordinary verb for giving and providing, the one you use for providing food, water or a service. In formal writing a more polite verb for giving takes over, but this is the spoken default.
Gives, the form of kodukkuka, to give; to hand over or provide something to someone.
അമ്മ കുട്ടിക്ക് പാൽ കൊടുക്കുന്നു.
amma kuttikku paal kodukkunnu.
Mother gives milk to the child.
