How difficult is it to pronounce Kolkata ?
"We shall be arriving in Kawlkota shortly , please fasten your seat belts ,yaddayaddayadda.."
"We shall be arriving in Kolkotta shortly , please fasten your seat belts ,yaddayaddayadda ..."
"We shall be arriving in Kawlkotta shortly , please fasten your seat belts ,yaddayaddayadda ...
"We shall be arriving in Kalkotta shortly , please fasten your seat belts ,yaddayaddayadda ..."
Its Koal kaata , with the T soft for god's sake.

Thanks, that was a big help :)
When ever I hear people mis-pronouncing "Kolkata" , I cringe and I wish that we were still " Calcutta" to the world....it had a nice ring to it.
"Kolkata" is something more personal...something for those who know and love the Bengali language.
Just like our "bhaalo" and "daak" naam concept that all Bongs live with !
I cringe at Air 'de-can' too.
Eejits can't say deccan(:
Poor Kolkata(:
HHG - Dont dare forget it .
WB - I so agree with you
Dipali - De Can to rhyme with Pe can - must be some vague accent they teach these girls at airhostess academies
Oh, we should so rant about this some time soon!

My tongue is still twisted :) Kawlkota...Kawlkota :) I am trying! :)
Have a great week!
So reassuring to find there are more people who feel like slapping them when they say Kawl-kata!
The most common and favorite vegetable.
