    Vowels are too expensive. Try a consonant.

      Does ख़ really sound different here than ख? It should sound like a fricative consonant but for me they both sound the same.

      According to my wife who is a native speaker, ख़ is commonly pronounced as ख in Hindi. The fricative sound is mainly used in Urdu.

        I understand the translation. But what is the meaning? She buys a letter?

          Neha purchases a letter, as in a postal letter.

          Can it also mean a letter of the alphabet or is it only a postal letter?

          चिट्ठी is a postal letter. Letter of the alphabet would be अक्षर.

          Some googling tells me there was a brief instance of Wheel of Fortune in India in the 90s tho I couldn't find any info about it. Was it in English? Were the most common letters RSTLNE? How could a Hindi Wheel of Fortune be designed? Fun stuff.
