    Actually we Indians use both ' bus stand ' and ' bus stop ' . Both have slightly different meaning.
    Bus stop is a place were bus formally stop.
    Bus stand is a place where you, if go, can get buses to almost every root. It is same as a bus station/depot.

    • @grawp_coder1737
      @grawp_coder1737 Рік тому +4

      Actually a bus stand is a transport corporation approved halt for a bus, which goes through that route and a bus stop can be used for some organisation or schools, like if there's a school and they have a transportation system the would assign some spot where the child has to wait for his bus or whatever, that would be bus stop in my opinion...

    My mom was educated in a convent school run by Irish Missionaries in Kolkata. So the vocabulary she developed was quite similar to the ones the Indian rep spoke.
    Also being a Wren and Martin initiate myself, I did use Alliance at one point to denote a marriage taking place.
    But as I moved around during studies, my vocabulary changed accordingly.
    So I always referred to electricity as Current, and I believe many Bengalis to this as well, but in Rajasthan and the neighbouring states, it is referred to as "Light".
    Marriage is marriage, dikki is being slowly replaced by trunk, though it is an Indian word (notice I didn't write a specific language), and washrooms is not often said, people refere to them as bathrooms (even though it only has a loo and a urinal) and/or toilets (informally).

    I do work with Indians in America and have witnessed how different some words they use compared to what we use here, I myself do have a mix of British accent and words with American and for current I would say electricity and often times power... Some confusion would arise with current maybe flow of sorts...it's so enriching to hear all these ways to refer to everyday situations. Many thanks for the vid.
