Chai wala? Chee wala? Trump tries out Indian words

The president was cheered on by over a 100,000 people at the opening of the world's largest cricket stadium.

At the event he tried to praise his host, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for achieving high office despite his humble origins as a tea seller, or "chai wala."

But the president mispronounced it as 'chee wala," to the delight of the crowd, with some laughter and jokes on Twitter.

He also struggled over:

"Swami Vivekananda" -- a 19th century Hindu monk often quoted by Modi.

"Gujarat" -- Modi's home state.

"Ahmedabad" -- the city where Trump was speaking.

"Chandrayaan" -- India's lunar program.

"Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli" -- two famous Indian cricket players.
