Writing in Malayalam
എഴുത്ത് (ezhuthu) is writing in the broad sense, from the act itself to a letter and to the look of a person's hand. Village speech also used it for schooling, since learning to write was the whole of it.
Most common translation
Letter, writing, epistle, drawing or sketching.
മുത്തശ്ശന്റെ എഴുത്ത് ഇന്നലെ കിട്ടി.
