I would appreciate confirmations, especially from native speakers if this is the correct. I believe this is a secondary term, not the prime term.


खाद्य

Food (Secondary Term)


Comments greatly appreciated.

I am native Hindi speaker. Plant food\fertilizers ( खाद्य secondary term for fertilizers) primary would be खाद्.

It's not used to refer to food while speaking or writing about it in daily use of Hindi.

Thanks for your response. Do you mean that it is only food for plants/fertilizers or it can also be "food from plants"?

Google images shows different types of foods & there is also a Wikipedia entry saying it's Food so am a bit confused by this all.

HTMLINDEX is some what right.
खाद्य = anything "edible" = close to FOOD
खाद = fertilizer

Thanks for the comments Catchnames. So would it be correct that my version could be used as a secondary version of "food"? Would you say this name is a keeper?
