याता

Hindi

Etymology

Learned borrowing from Sanskrit याता (yā́tā). Doublet of जा (jā).

Pronunciation
  • (Delhi Hindi) IPA(key): /jɑː.t̪ɑː/, [jäː.t̪äː]

Noun

याता • (yātā) f

  1. (rare, formal) co-sister-in-law; husband’s brother’s wife

Usage notes

While the words जेठानी (jeṭhānī), देवरानी (devrānī) and जा (jā) all translate to "co-sister-in-law" in English, they cannot be used interchangeably. जेठानी (jeṭhānī) is used to refer to a husband's elder brother's wife and both देवरानी (devrānī) and जा (jā) are used to refer to a husband's younger brother's wife. याता (yātā) can be used for both these senses.
