What is bassa fish called in Hindi and marathi?

"Bassa fish" doesn't have a direct translation in Hindi or Marathi. This is because it's a specific type of catfish, and the terms in those languages generally refer to catfish as a broader category.

Here's how it might be described:

Hindi:

* बांगड़ा मछली (Bangra Machhli): This is the most common name for catfish in Hindi. While not specific to Bassa, it's the closest you'll get. You could say "बांगड़ा मछली की एक किस्म (Bangra Machhli ki ek kisam)" which means "a type of catfish."

* बासा मछली (Basa Machhli): You can simply use the English word "Basa" and add "machhli" to indicate it's a fish. This is understandable, but might not be widely recognized by everyone.

Marathi:

* काळी मासळी (Kaali Masali): This is a general term for catfish in Marathi. Like in Hindi, you can add "एक प्रकारची (ek prakarachi)" to indicate it's a specific type.

* बासा मासळी (Basa Masali): Similar to Hindi, you can use the English word "Basa" and add "Masali" to denote it's a fish.

It's important to note that depending on the region, there might be different local names for catfish.

If you're looking for the Bassa fish specifically, it's best to use the English name or a descriptive term like "a type of catfish."
