उत्तर
The Chinese character t'u was originally used in early writings to refer to tea. But later, a new character, ch'a, was created to refer mainly to tea. The term ch'a has begun to be utilized in English to refer to Chinese tea. Then, the slightly changed word 'chaha' was used in Marathi. It was the combination of the words 'ch'a' and 'chai' in the Marathi version. And, as we all know, it is very close to the Hindi word chai, which is used all over India to refer to tea.
