Too in Malayalam
കൂടി (koodi) is too in the sense of also, and it follows the word it adds to, which usually carries an additive suffix of its own. Me too comes out as the pronoun with that suffix plus കൂടി (koodi). Two syllables, the first one long.
Most common translation
Also, too, as well; often used together with the suffix um on the word.
എനിക്ക് കൂടി ഒരു ചായ വേണം.
enikku koodi oru chaaya venam.
I want a tea also.
