[Derek]

Here's what I've found but that was quite difficult: กาแฟ (ka-fe) - Thai

[Robusto]

Coffee in Afrikaans is koffie.

Coffee in Hebrew is ka-feh.

Coffee in Tagalog (Filipino) is kape.

[JavaJunkie]

Coffee in Hebrew is ka-feh.

I guess if you just move the hyphen one space to the right that would be the Canadian way to say it Kaf-eh . Since so many things work there with "eh" added on.

[KahawaKenya]

In Swahili you say 'kahawa'. This is mostly in Eastern African countries including Kenya where we have the world's best.

I also saw a guy in the name of "JavaJunkie". Java also means coffee...am not sure the language but i think it is Indian...JavaJunkie to confirm..

[lulu33]

You raised a good point, KahawaKenya, about the word Java. I knew it was another word for coffee but does anybody know what is its origin language? Unfortunately, I couldn't find this information.

[rebedz]

it's 'káva' in Slovak like kaaava
