Same thing in 9 different languages

Different languages have different roots.

You can usually tell when you find words (non-borrowed) that are similar in multiple languages.

This post will include some that are the same, and not so much.

I find these interesting, hope you do too!

Here are the examples below:

1. Water 💦

German - Wasser

Dutch - Water

Swedish - Vatten

French - Eau

Portuguese - Água

Spanish - Agua

Turkish - Su

Japanese - 水 (mizu)

Ukrainian - вода (voda)

2. Book 📕

German - Buch

Dutch - Boek

Swedish - Boka

French - Livre

Portuguese - Livro

Spanish - Libro

Turkish - Kitap

Japanese - 本 (hon)

Ukrainian - книга (knyha)

3. School 🏫

German - Schule

Dutch - School

Swedish - Skola

French - École

Portuguese - Escola

Spanish - Escuela

Turkish - Okul

Japanese - 学校 (gakkou)

Ukrainian - школа (shkola)

Which languages do you know? Include some examples you like in the comments!

A bustling European town square with a fountain and historic buildings under a blue sky. Text defines 'Portare' (to bring/carry) and 'Prendere' (to take/grab) in Italian.

Make sure you don’t confuse these Italian verbs!

Similar to other Romance languages, there are verbs in Italian that technicially mean the same thing but they are used in different contexts, here’s some examples: Sai dove si trova la stazione?

Being overweight is def a different thing

Being overweight stings way more than being underweight, like who’s even arguing this? Both can be unhealthy, but only the overweights get judgment. Underweight ppl rarely face the same scrutiny. The bias is clear, so why’s this even a debate? Thoughts? #Letschat #Asklemon8 #stirthepot
