* ಗಮ್ (gam) - This is the most common and general term for gum.
* ಗೋಂದಿ (gondi) - This refers to specific types of gum, especially those used in food or traditional medicine.
The specific term you should use depends on the context. If you're talking about gum as a sticky substance, "ಗಮ್" would be the most appropriate. If you're talking about a specific type of gum, like acacia gum or tragacanth gum, then "ಗೋಂದಿ" might be a better choice.
