Almost all terms used worldwide for tea belong to three large groups of words: Te, cha and chai. The Chinese Cha spread to the West by country via the Silk Road. The main ports in China were in Fujian Province and Taiwan, where many people speak Min Nan, meaning Te instead of Cha.

β€˜Haricot bean’ / β€˜Chai tea’ equivalents in other languages using English words?

A user recently posted about the English use of β€˜Haricot Bean’ translating as β€˜bean bean’ which lead to a humerous list of similar instances including β€˜chai tea’ β€˜naan bread’ etc.

This made me wonder wether English words have been used in a similar way in other languages? Are people aware of any?

A chaiwala (Hindi: ΰ€šΰ€Ύΰ€―ΰ€΅ΰ€Ύΰ€²ΰ€Ύ, IAST: cāyavālā) is a person who prepares, sells or serves tea on streets or small roadside shops in the Indian subcontinent. ... Chai is the Hindustani word for "tea", as in masala chai, and wallah indicates the person performing the task, so chaiwalla is a street seller

Incorrect. The language of Mitanni inscription is NOT Old Indic. It is an ancient Middle Eastern language called Hurrian. Having a few Old Indic loanwords does not make the language Indic. Hindi does not become Chinese just because we use the Chinese word 'Chai' in Hindi https://t.co/78UVcOT twitter.com/TIinExile/sta…

TIL "chai" isn't itself a drink, but simply the Hindi word for "tea." Modern masala chai recipes were invented when colonial tea peddlers in British-occupied India added milk, sugar, and local spices in order to use less of the more expensive black tea leaves. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M…
