Did you know?
- In Urdu, the word کیوی is a loanword. It does not have a native root because the bird is not indigenous to South Asia.
- In many Urdu-speaking regions, if you ask for کیوی without specifying, a vendor will almost certainly assume you are asking for the fruit rather than the bird.
- The use of the letter و to represent the 'v' sound in کیوی is an adaptation, as native Urdu does not traditionally distinguish between 'v' and 'w' sounds.
Examples in context
- میں نے آج کیوی کھائی ہے۔I have eaten kiwi today.
- یہ کیوی بہت مزیدار ہوتی ہے۔Kiwi is very delicious.
- کیوی ایک چھوٹا پرندہ ہے۔kiwi ek chota parinda hai.The kiwi is a small bird.
- کیا آپ نے کیوی دیکھا ہے؟kya aap ne kiwi dekha hai?Have you seen a kiwi?
