Bank
A place where people keep and borrow money.
બેંક નવ વાગ્યે ખૂલે છે.
The bank opens at nine.
The word 'બેંક' (bank) is directly borrowed from the English 'bank', which comes from the Italian 'banca', meaning 'table' or 'bench' where moneylenders conducted business.
Commonly used in both spoken conversations and written formats across various social contexts, 'bank' is predominantly informal but also appears in professional discussions.
