To die in Hindi is मरना (marnā).

Hindi has no abbreviation like STFU, but the blunt order to be quiet is चुप रहो (chup raho). It is rude, and मुँह बंद करो (muṁh band karo) is even harsher.

A cloak is चोगा (choga) in Hindi, a long loose outer robe. लबादा (labaada) is another word for a long cloak or heavy outer wrap.

There is no single language called Indian, so this page gives Hindi. A banana is केला (kela).
