+309 'Chai' is not a flavour of tea, it just simply means tea in Hindi. So calling it 'chai tea' is totally redundant, amirite?

SAME WITH ME. I tell people that it's either chai, or tea. Chai tea is like saying 'tea tea'. They say it's just because I'm brown, but I can't be the ONLY one.

I voted No Way because it's not only in Hindi. Caj (pronounced the same way) also means tea in the Serbo-Croation language. & I bet some others as well.

I know many countries use the same word, I was just making it more general for the amirite public who may not know those languages as well. Sorry, I guess

Why would you vote no way because the person didn't know that it wasn't only in that language? It's still stupid, and redundant.

Because that's what the whole post was implying.

That "Chai" means tea in Hindi? No, it's implying that saying "chai tea" is redundant.

Chai at Starbucks tastes nothing like authentic chai :/ In fact, chai doesn't taste a lot like tea either.
