इंग्लैंड (inglaind)

noun A proper noun -- the English loanword for the country England (inglaind), used exactly as a place name.
Sense 1 : the country England
noun, masculine
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is a straightforward English loanword written phonetically in Devanagari, so it looks and sounds almost identical to the English name -- no real adaptation happened the way it did for older borrowings. Older or more formal Hindi sometimes uses इंगलैंड (inglaind) as a minor spelling variant, but इंग्लैंड (inglaind) is the form you will see everywhere in newspapers and daily conversation.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes confuse इंग्लैंड (inglaind) with ब्रिटेन (briten, 'Britain') or यूनाइटेड किंगडम (yoonaaited kingdam, 'United Kingdom') -- in everyday Hindi speech, as in everyday English, people often say इंग्लैंड (inglaind) loosely to mean the whole UK, so don't over-correct native speakers who do this.
