| What is up with kids and their use of the Indian word “beta”? It’s driving me crazy! |
| Give us a sentence context example! |
| Indian? |
|
“No, beta”
Just randomly calls out beta all day long. |
| No this is a white girl using an Indian word. |
I…don’t think that’s what is happening. |
| Do you mean like “beta male?” |
| Like the Greek alphabet Beta? I'm so confused why you're assuming this is an Indian word. |
| It’s pronounced “beh- ta” |
| It’s a slang word. They use it to mean the opposite of Alpha, that you’re weak or not assertive. |
| Please explain yourself, OP. Beta is a Greek letter. It's not an "Indian" word. |
Theresa Hindi word that is also beta, not related in etymology |

Also OP No one who speaks Hindi would refer to it as an "Indian" word, troll |
