Reads in Malayalam
The entry under reads is വായനക്കാരന് (vaayanakkaaran), one who reads, that is, a reader, rather than the verb form. Malayalam does not inflect verbs for person, so there is no separate reads; the present tense of the reading verb covers he reads, I read and they read. The agent noun here is built on the noun for reading plus kaaran.
One who reads, reader, one who plays on a musical instrument.
അവന് ഒരു നല്ല വായനക്കാരന് ആണ്.
avan oru nalla vaayanakkaaran aanu.
He is a good reader.
