snow_sugar Eccentric Iconoclast In Japanese, 'tea' is 'cha'... Yea, but isn't it ocha? Or is that a type of tea? sweatdrop Eh, 'o' is a thing that they sometimes add to words that makes them more polite. The original kanji for it is 'cha'. The original pronounciation adapted from the Chinese is 'cha', which would imply that the Chinese pronounciation is similar as well...

That would explain why it's sort of similar in so many languages.

chadny could anyone can help me with this ............. Main hoon na ...what does it mean? Well.. " Main hoon " means " I am " I can't really elaborate and tell you what "na" means. I've forgotten the language ever since I have no one to speak it with. "na" would just be like telling them to agree, somewhat.

Mai Stephanie hu. (???) Yeah, that's all I got. I'm trying to teach myself Hindi and it's proving to be a bit tricky. I'm not too great at languages. Buuuuut it's been a dream of mine to learn Hindi since I was 8 so, finally, 11 years later I'm actually trying to do it. My Indian friends at college say they'll help me out once I get back there. That's nice of them... 3nodding

Can anyone here read the Devanagari script? I suppose that if there are Hindi speakers, or Sanskrit speakers here, they'd be able to. I need help in understanding the way it works.

Well the chinese word for tea is cha, and china invented tea basically, didn't it? So, when every other culture got tea, they called it by roughly the name that the guys who invented it called it. Like how in almost every language, there are certain words that sound rather english-y for various electric modern things, since they were invented in english speaking countries at first. Like "bus" or "autobus" or something like it exists in every language I've looked at.
