"दूध सफ़ेद है।"

Translation: The milk is white.

[MarksAaron]

सफ़ेद is a borrowing from Persian/Farsi :)

[vinaysaini]

At Proto level, both सफ़ेद and श्वेत (Sanskrit) seem to originate from the same root.

[RanzoG]

And in Punjabi, they say "white" as ciṭṭā ਚਿੱਟਾ. Uh-oh, where does that fit? Pretty vernacular-ized from Sanskrit श्वेता! :) "Safed", I imagine, was a pretty new-sounding word when the Mughals came along.

[kallu622362]

Farsi was the language of work during the days of the Mughals, Delhi Sultanate. There was a lot of exchange in culture

[KyleDelane6]

Could this also be "milk is white"?

White milk

[KEERTHANAS8552]

If it was "This milk ...", then it would have "yaha" first: यह दूध ...
