- anshumankmr 5y agoYes, lakh,crores are a common part of language. For a billion, I believe it is "arab" and for a hundred billion, it is "kharab". 1 crore = 10 million 100 crore = 1 billion = 1 arab 100 arab = 0.1 trilion == 1 kharab
- sundarurfriend 5y agoThough beyond the crore, most people wouldn't know what you were talking about.
- anshumankmr 5y agoAmbani is oftened referred to as an arabpati (a billionaire) at least in Hindi language media. Kharab is more obscure as until now I thought a kharab was one trillion.
