કચરો
Appearance
Gujarati
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Prakrit 𑀓𑀘𑁆𑀙𑀭 (kacchara), from Sanskrit कच्चर (kaccara, “dirty, vile”). Compare Hindi कचरा (kacrā), Marathi कचरा (kaċrā). As well as phonologically similar terms such as Maharastri Prakrit 𑀓𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀯𑀸𑀭 (kaccavāra), Sanskrit कङ्कर (kaṅkara), कट्वर (kaṭvara), etc. The variety of forms points to a substrate borrowing; compare Kannada ಕಸ (kasa, “dirt”), Tamil கசடு (kacaṭu).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Standard Gujarati) IPA(key): /ˈkət͡ʃ.ɾo/
Noun
[edit]કચરો • (kacro) m
Usage notes
[edit]In East Africa, speakers colloquially use Swahili ghasia (pronounced [ˈɡʱə.si.jo]) instead.
