Kannada
"Bus ali eshtu jana iddare?"
Hindi
"Bus mein kitna log hain?"
So "ali" translates to "mein" in Hindi!
The correct word for mein is actually oLage. But "ali" is used in a lot of sentences, colloquially.
If you are a Tamizhian or a Northi who knows Tamizh, oLage would come naturally to you, following from uLLa.

haha nice :) But its not "ali", it is "alli". The stressing is called "vatthu" in kannada grammar.
Thanks, Krishna!
