English Grammar - Spelling
Choose the correct spelling of the given word :
Options:
- bungalowe
- bangalow
- bangelow
- bungalow
Right Answer: bungalow
The correct spelling is 'bungalow'. The word came into English from the Hindi word 'bangla', meaning a house in the Bengal style, and it is written with 'u' in the first two syllables and 'ow' at the end. The other options are all misspellings — 'bungalowe' wrongly adds a final 'e', while 'bangalow' and 'bangelow' wrongly use 'a' or 'e' in place of 'u'. Words borrowed from Indian languages often have fixed English spellings that must simply be memorised. Hence option (4) is correct.
