ज़ू
When talking about places like a 'zoo' where animals are kept for public viewing, the Hindi word to use is ज़ू (zoo). It's a direct borrowing from English and is commonly understood. For instance, if you want to say 'I went to the zoo yesterday,' you would say 'मैं कल ज़ू गया था।'
You might also hear the word चिड़ियाघर (chidiyaaghar), which literally means 'birdhouse' but is also widely used to refer to a zoo, especially in a more traditional or formal context. However, ज़ू is perfectly acceptable and very frequently used in everyday conversation.
