Did you know?
- Because बैंक is a loanword, it is used in Hindi for financial institutions but not for a 'river bank', which is called किनारा 'kinara'.
- In Hindi, the word for a 'blood bank' uses बैंक as well, showing how the English loanword expanded beyond money to include any centralized storage system.
- While बैंक is a direct loan from English, the Tamil word for a financial institution is வங்கி 'vaṅki', which looks and sounds significantly different to an English speaker.
