Answer 2

In India, there is no zucchini. But in India there is plenty of green as well as yellow color summer squash. Summer squash in Hindi is called "Torai". Now, you explain it as a big Torai, or whatever way you want to define Zucchini against the summer squash.

Answer 3

Tori/Turaii is as close a translation as you can make, it means squash/gourd, which is what Zucchini is.
