Told in Malayalam
പറഞ്ഞു (paranju) is told or said, the past tense of the everyday verb for speaking. Malayalam draws no line between told and said here, so one form covers both. It ends in the nasal plus affricate that English spelling cannot really capture.
Told, said, informed; past tense of parayuka, to say; stated; said, declared, mentioned openly or officially.
ടീച്ചർ ഞങ്ങളോട് ഒരു കഥ പറഞ്ഞു.
teechar njangalodu oru katha paranju.
The teacher told us a story.
