B for Bassu

బ for bassu


బస్సు

ba-s-su
(బ-ba, స-sa, u like curve attached to స is vowel sign for ఉ(the vowel u) and doubling of consonant is denoted by the letter written to the bottom right of స-sa)

As you see, many English words are used in everyday language in India. And one such word is bassu. Most of the English words spoken by Telugu speaking people, has a "u" sound attached to it. For example, car is caaru, bus is bassu, government is governmentu, politics is politicsu etc.
We can draw similarity to Japanese language (katakana is used to write words got from foreign languages) esp. English where English words undergo a modification. Smith is Sumisu, Beer is Biiru etc.
