[quote=Anonymous]I’m Indian and initially thought you meant she was using it in the context of incel/right wing culture, like a beta male. But if you’re pretty sure it’s actually the Hindi word, it just means “honey” or “hon” and there’s nothing wrong with using it. It’s pronounced BAY-ta. Like some other posters have said, it’s a little weird because it’s typically something a parent/aunt/uncle would call a child or someone a generation below them. I’ve never heard young South Asians use it with each other. But it’s a harmless term of endearment. I’d be more concerned about random people thinking she’s throwing the word around in the other sense.[/quote]
