Wipe in Malayalam
Of these two, തൂത്തുകളയുക (thoothukalayuka) is the nearer match for wipe: it means to wipe or sweep something off, to clear it away. Say thoothukalayuka with a long oo at the start and the stress there. It carries the sense of removing something completely, including figuratively.
Most common translation

All Malayalam words for “wipe”
- തൂത്തുകളയുക (thoothukalayuka) — Wipe off, sweep off.
- തോര്ത്തുക (thorthuka) — Dry, wipe water from the body with a towel after bath.
തോര്ത്തുക (thorthuka) is narrower, the towelling dry of the body after a bath, so it will not do for wiping a table; the plain verb for wiping a surface clean is not among the candidates.
