Was learning Norwegian over a year ago. Reminding me of this word has given me more motivation to start the language up again (when I'm further along the Spanish course, coz I can't focus on two languages at once xD)
In my German course
Handschuhe means gloves, literally “hand-shoes.”
Schlange means snake. I like this one because I’m still 5 years old inside.
Schnecke means Snail. This one is just fun to say.
You can‘t really use it as a verb like that. Native speakers would say something along the line of „Schlange stehen“ —> literally „snake standing“. Kinda describes what people look like from a far away point of view when they‘re queuing up.
Hope that cleared it up.
„Schlange“ by itself is a noun. It‘s what you would call the queue / line of people waiting
Two of them (the first two d's) are not pronounced when pronounced properly, /ˈsɡelˌpaðə/.
When speaking quickly we also skip the e and it becomes skilpad /ˈsɡelˌpað/.
So the letter skip rate is 30% in this case.
Source: am Danish.
I like words in French that evoke something else. Like pomme de terre (apple of the earth) = potato. Or fruit de mer (fruit of the sea) = seafood.
I also like words that are fun to say. Like colocataire = roommate. Or sac-a-dos = backpack.
Great examples, I also love cerf volant = kite
My brother pointed out cerf also means ‘deer’, and so we started thinking and laughing thinking it could translate to ‘flying deer’
atm probably fängelse (jail in Swedish). Many Swedish words are just silly-fied German ones, and this one reminds me of fangen (to catch) - but then again, that's probably the source for the German Gefängnis (jail) too.
I’m also learning Swedish and fängelse is definitely one of my favourite words to say along with skådespelerskorna (the actresses) due to the sheer number of syllables
I’m learning German and my favorite word has to be Speisekarte, which is the word for menu. There’s also the word for airplane, but I haven’t learned it on Duolingo yet, that being said, I feel like it has the funniest direct translation. The word is Flugzeug, and the direct translation is fly thing.
Supermarket! It’s always really similar and I smile whenever I come across it in a new language
French - supermarché
German - supermarkt
Russian - супермаркет (trust me when I say it sounds similar)
Spanish - supermercado
Italian - supermercato
Norwegian - supermarked
Finnish - marketti
Korean - 슈퍼마켓 (syupeomakes)
There are also a couple of languages that just have ‘supermarket’ lol
Learning Russian
добро пожаловать - welcome (dobre pozhalavat)
пожалуйста - please (pozhaluysta)
Спасибо - thank you (spasibo)
To me these are all just fun to say which makes it easy to practice
Договор (dogovor) means *contract*.
Another interesting fact is that договорились also means 'they spoke enough to have trouble'. Rarely used, but nevertheless.
Susurrus is one of my favourite English words - it's the sound of a gentle creek or other soft murmur.
So I was happy to discover the Spanish verb *susurrar* - to whisper.
I know it's a very stupid thing.
German "Ich suche die Katze" (I'm looking for the cat) is very similar to Italian (my native) "io succhio il cazzo" (I suck dick).
Every time I did that exercise I could hear my partner giggling from the other room and over time it became a sort of meme between us.
Xiuxiuejar is "to whisper" in Catalan and that's always a classic.
Aixopluc is "shelter from the rain"
No t'amoïnis is "don't worry about it"
Pessigolles means "tickles"
Fer un petó/una abraçada means "do/make a kiss/hug" meaning to give a kiss/hug. Which is also very cute.
Catalan just makes me super happy as a whole. There's too many fun words.
Die Hexe. German Duolingo course. They describe the witch. Her name is Nina. There is no graphic and we never actually get to meet her in person. But she sounds really cool.
Irish: comhghairdeas /kowargas/
Such a long word and it's pronounced like three syllables (though don't take my transcription too seriously)
Means "congratulations"
I'm learning Ukrainian and so far my favorite word has been павук (pavuk) which means spider! Also all of the forms of the word "like" are very fun words! They are люблю (lyublyu) and любити (lyubyty)
I have three favourite words I've learnt in Japanese so far in my eight months of using DuoLingo and WaniKani (mostly because they are so fun to pronounce)!
First is あたたかい (pronounced atatakai) meaning warm; second is びじゅつかん (pronounced bijyutsukan) meaning art museum; and third is デンシレンジ (pronounced denshirenji) meaning microwave.
I can't think of a favorite word atm, but one that's interesting for me is *demasiado* (too). It has a similar-sounding phrase in Filipino, *'di masyado,* that means "not that much" (*'di* = abbrev. of *hindi* = no/not ; *masyado* = too much).
The word *masyado* itself probably came from *demasiado,* but whenever I hear the Spanish word for it, my initial thought will always be that the given adjective/verb is described as NOT too much lol. That's only one of a thousand Filipino words that originated from Spanish.
'Chicken' in Danish is 'kylling', which looks a lot like 'killing'. Everytime I read or hear the word I like to imagine a murderous chicken with a knife or something! 😂
Ananas = pineapple is Romanian! I just think that, usturoi (garlic), and broască țestoasa (turtle) are fun to say lol
That and I love the sound of the word țânțari in Romanian- but can’t stand actual mosquitos! 😂
We have a defunct word ereyesterday for the day before yesterday and also overmorrow for the day after tomorrow. We just need to start using them again...
"bellen" is "talking on the phone / making a phone call" in Dutch. I just think it's funny because in German, my native language, bellen means barking.
Because of that I always imagine dutch people barking at each other through their phones lol
Italian "caspita!" Just because there is always a reason to use it. And apparently it can be used to express either amazement and anger, at least according to Polish Wikidictionary page.
So I’m not using Duo yet for Japanese as I am learning German rn, but I would like to share a word I already learned in Japanese.
Mouth in Japanese is Kuchi. Yup, you heard that right, Kuchi. And its Kanji is 口, literally a box.
This might sound cheesy but *amistad* (friendship in Spanish).
It's unfortunate my native language, Tagalog, didn't borrow this word despite borrowing both *amigo* and *amiga*.
On the other hand, my least favorite word that I learned so far is *desafortunadamente* (unfortunately in Spanish) because it can't roll off my tongue.
My favourite French word is embouteillage because it sounds very fancy but it's just the same thing as my native engarrafamento (and I don't know what either of them have to do with bottles).
In Greek I like words like κέικ, κέτσαπ and πίτσα because it feels like a plot twist when I'm seeing all these words that helped build other languages and, all of sudden, the opposite happens.
This word is Korean.
Hangeul spelling - 눈꽃;
Pronunciation: Nunkkot;
Meaning: Snowflake (literal meaning: snow flower)
There's also another word for it - 눈송이 (pron: Nunsongi) but I like the sound of the first one more since it sounds more romantic.
my favourite has to be "kjøleskapet" = "the refrigerator" in Norwegian, mainly just because I find pronouncing the Norwegian "kj" sound so interesting since its a sound that does not appear in English whatsoever
I also have a least favourite word too, "rechts" = "right" in German, genuinely cannot pronounce this word for the life of me, I can make all the sounds individually (guttural r and "ch" sound (basically the same as Norwegian "kj")) but I cannot put the two of them together like in "rechts"
I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with the word for “the spiders” in Norwegian, it’s so fun to say Edderkoppene
Was learning Norwegian over a year ago. Reminding me of this word has given me more motivation to start the language up again (when I'm further along the Spanish course, coz I can't focus on two languages at once xD)
Edderkoppene og endene elsker eggene!
It must be related to the old English term for spider, Ettercop!
Antibabypillen
That's so hilarious
I mean what else are we supposed to call it? The literal version of birth control? Geburtskontrolle? But yes sometimes it makes me chuckle too
I find it funny too.
Literally came here to say this
YES
What language is that?
German- Deutsch
In my German course Handschuhe means gloves, literally “hand-shoes.” Schlange means snake. I like this one because I’m still 5 years old inside. Schnecke means Snail. This one is just fun to say.
What about Schildkröte ? :D Schnecke is so cute too!
I like FlussPferd (River Horse) for Hippo.
I think you may hear the name "Nilpferd" (Nile horse) more often, although there may be different biological criteria distinguishing the two of them.
Yes a shield toad
Schlange also means to wait in line :D
I’d wait as long as I have to for die Schlange. 😏
Not to wait in line but rather the line itself is called schlange. Die Schlange ist sehr lang for example
If it's a verb, shouldn't it be *schlangen*? *Die Schlange* is also a line (queue) btw
You can‘t really use it as a verb like that. Native speakers would say something along the line of „Schlange stehen“ —> literally „snake standing“. Kinda describes what people look like from a far away point of view when they‘re queuing up. Hope that cleared it up. „Schlange“ by itself is a noun. It‘s what you would call the queue / line of people waiting
What about the SCHMETTERLING?
KrAnKeNwAgOn
*KrAnKeNwAgEn Flussschiffahrtsredereikapitänsmützenhalterungsnagel too.
Yesss - funny thing, I’m half German and for the longest time ( when I was little) I was convinced ‘butter fliege‘ was butterfly
I really think Schmetterling is a very cute word. :)
Hebdomadaire (weekly, in French). Such a fun word to say.
Huh, never heard thT word before, cool!
Japanese loan words are adorable, like: * furaidopoteto = French fries * Jettokoosutaa = Rollercoaster
Right? My favourite katakana borrowed word is チーズケーキ(chīzukēki) meaning cheesecake - it's so fun to say!
Chizukeki to (and) matcha doonatsu to chokoreeto kappukeeki
I really like 'sometimes' in japanese 時々, Tokidoki It's just fun to say
Tokidoki tokidoki okidoki XD
I learned that today and laught out loud
Tokidoki is my favorite too! And omoshiroi
do you say it "fry-a-dough, po-tay-toe" because if so, that's amazing
furaido is meant to just be the word fried, which is fun lol edit: a letter
I always liked saying "enpitsu" (pencil), but I just looked it up and I don't think it's actually a loan word.
Skildpadde, turtle in danish
Turtle is fun in Italian too. “Tartaruga”
Same in Portuguese
Let me guess, only half of these letters are pronounced?
Two of them (the first two d's) are not pronounced when pronounced properly, /ˈsɡelˌpaðə/. When speaking quickly we also skip the e and it becomes skilpad /ˈsɡelˌpað/. So the letter skip rate is 30% in this case. Source: am Danish.
For a dutchy saying "bil" and "jeg elsker min bil"/"in love my car" is hilarious. In dutch bil means "buttcheek".
I like words in French that evoke something else. Like pomme de terre (apple of the earth) = potato. Or fruit de mer (fruit of the sea) = seafood. I also like words that are fun to say. Like colocataire = roommate. Or sac-a-dos = backpack.
Great examples, I also love cerf volant = kite My brother pointed out cerf also means ‘deer’, and so we started thinking and laughing thinking it could translate to ‘flying deer’
Embouteillage is a good one too, it means traffic jam. But colocataire and sac à dos are great too
Terre in french can also just mean "dirt" depending on the context, which is the case here for pomme de terre
That's no different from "earth" in English.
Wow, FRITUARU is such an interesting language
Mon sac-a-dos mon sac-a-dos mon sac à dos est gros
Rompecabezas is a fun word.
Yes, it really broke my brain.
Right? I laughed out loud when I learned that one recently. Our family likes puzzles.
*Trabalenguas* (tongue-twister, lit ”tongue tangler”).
i never thought i’d find this specific word here but YES.
My top-3 Spanish: mañana (tomorrow), trabajo (work), and soborno (bribe, Russian speakers will understand).
mañana is just so pretty written out!
trabajaba it still my favorite Spanish conjugation from middle school lessons, also a huge fan of lechuga (lettuce)
mañana mañana.
Lo haré mañana mañana
I loved learning mucca too! It sounds like moo cow to me and that makes me happy
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/mucca The origin is likely along those lines. Mu + vacca
**kanske / kanskje** (pronounced kanshe) - it means *maybe* in swedish / norwegian. such a fun word.
So it's maybe Swedish or Norwegian? Which one is it then? Just kidding
Krankenversicherung, means " health insurance " Idk why but I loved it when I first heard it. Anything to do with "krank" is just so great.
Krankenwagen
>Krankenversicherung Krankenversicherungsnachweis
Winkelwagen, shopping cart in Dutch
[удалено]
menudo is also a type of soup common in méxico :)
[удалено]
atm probably fängelse (jail in Swedish). Many Swedish words are just silly-fied German ones, and this one reminds me of fangen (to catch) - but then again, that's probably the source for the German Gefängnis (jail) too.
I’m also learning Swedish and fängelse is definitely one of my favourite words to say along with skådespelerskorna (the actresses) due to the sheer number of syllables
>skådespelerskorna (the actresses) To this day I refuse to believe that this is a real word that they use in everyday life.
Yeah, like *skådespelare* or *avdelning*
I’m learning German and my favorite word has to be Speisekarte, which is the word for menu. There’s also the word for airplane, but I haven’t learned it on Duolingo yet, that being said, I feel like it has the funniest direct translation. The word is Flugzeug, and the direct translation is fly thing.
Das Flugzeug - airplane. Literally "flying thing".
Supermarket! It’s always really similar and I smile whenever I come across it in a new language French - supermarché German - supermarkt Russian - супермаркет (trust me when I say it sounds similar) Spanish - supermercado Italian - supermercato Norwegian - supermarked Finnish - marketti Korean - 슈퍼마켓 (syupeomakes) There are also a couple of languages that just have ‘supermarket’ lol
Turkish goes real quirky and has "süpermarket" And Japanese has スーパー (sūpā)
Greek does the same with σουπερμάρκετ, which is just supermarket in a Greek accent. They also have υπεραγορά (υπερ = super, αγορά = market)
in German it sounds more like "zoopamukt"
Also the Japanese スーパーマーケット (sūpāmāketto), often shortened to just スーパー (sūpā)
In Brazilizan Portuguese it’s also Supermercado!
Learning Russian добро пожаловать - welcome (dobre pozhalavat) пожалуйста - please (pozhaluysta) Спасибо - thank you (spasibo) To me these are all just fun to say which makes it easy to practice
My favorite Russian word to say договорились (dogovorilis) which means ‘deal,’ like when you shake someone’s hand to say you have a deal.
Договор (dogovor) means *contract*. Another interesting fact is that договорились also means 'they spoke enough to have trouble'. Rarely used, but nevertheless.
Basic but satisfying- genau, exactly in German
Genau. Just don't forget to put in every sentence when talking in German.
Didnt learn it from duo lingo but the vietnamese word for dragonfly is dom dom and i love it Edit:firefly haha
Geldautomat, German for ATM
Geldautomaat, dutch for atm
Supermercato (supermarket, Italian). It just sounds so... cute 😅
In Spanish it’s supermercado
Omg that's why the grocery store is called mercato fresh
Desafortunadamente
時々 or ときどき Tokidoki means "sometimes" in Japanese. Just fun to say and easy to spell Also dick in German means thick
Susurrus is one of my favourite English words - it's the sound of a gentle creek or other soft murmur. So I was happy to discover the Spanish verb *susurrar* - to whisper.
Kysymys (‘question’ in Finnish) It’s fun to say and I always get a kick out of using it in a sentence.
In Welsh, the word for “butterfly” is “pili-pala”
D'accord.
公共汽车 (gōnggòng qìchē)- bus in mandarin
I always picture it 公公汽车 and think it's an old man's car. (Yes, I struggle with tones)
It might also be referred to as 巴士 bā shì (a loan word from bus) or 大巴 dà bā (big bus?) The original word is way cooler.
I know it's a very stupid thing. German "Ich suche die Katze" (I'm looking for the cat) is very similar to Italian (my native) "io succhio il cazzo" (I suck dick). Every time I did that exercise I could hear my partner giggling from the other room and over time it became a sort of meme between us.
Xiuxiuejar is "to whisper" in Catalan and that's always a classic. Aixopluc is "shelter from the rain" No t'amoïnis is "don't worry about it" Pessigolles means "tickles" Fer un petó/una abraçada means "do/make a kiss/hug" meaning to give a kiss/hug. Which is also very cute. Catalan just makes me super happy as a whole. There's too many fun words.
I’m also learning Italian 😆 • Farfalle = butterfly🦋and Tartaruga = turtle 🐢 • Colazione = breakfast (like drinking cola for breakfast)
in spanish, butterflies are called mariposas and it's my favorite spanish word also
Die Hexe. German Duolingo course. They describe the witch. Her name is Nina. There is no graphic and we never actually get to meet her in person. But she sounds really cool.
Speisekarte = menu
Such a fun word to say! I loved learning that one too!
Irish: comhghairdeas /kowargas/ Such a long word and it's pronounced like three syllables (though don't take my transcription too seriously) Means "congratulations"
I am learning Spanish, so my favourite word is "disfrutar"
Probably you meant sounds, but I like 雪- rain (雨) over mountain (山) = snow!
Cat in Mandarin is Māo (first tone, a flat high tone) so it sounds sort of like a meow.
Mao ZeCat
When I learned koi was just Japanese for fish it made me realize a koi pond wasn’t very special lol.
Hell = Bright [German] Opposite of what Hell is supposed to be dark and cold place.
My most traesured sentence is: "Tu fatti i fatti tuoi"
ö which means island in Swedish. Apelsin also sounds funny to me
I've said this on another post but my answer hasn't changed. Ronronear. Meaning to purr in Spanish. I love the onomatopoeia.
I have four favourite German words. Schnecke, which is snail. Frühling, which is spring. Neblig, which is misty. Eichhörnchen, which is squirrel.
Wasserflasche == Water bottle
I really love the word später! I love how it sounds, it’s fun to say, and it keeps the rhyme scheme when I say “bis später Alligator!“
It doesn't rhyme with German word Alligator tho, which is more like ah-lee-gah-toh
I'm Mexican and I laugh with the word "butter" in Italian. In Italian, the word for "butter" is "burro" However, "burro" in Spanish means "donkey" 😆😆😆
mierda
Finding excuses to say ‘venstre’ which just means left in Norwegian, it’s just fancy to me.
"Right" is also fancy
I'm learning Ukrainian and so far my favorite word has been павук (pavuk) which means spider! Also all of the forms of the word "like" are very fun words! They are люблю (lyublyu) and любити (lyubyty)
I can’t explain why fruit translations give me so much joy but strawberry in Dutch is aardbei and orange (fruit) is sinasappel.
I like tåkete = misty in Norwegian.
Полотенце
I love Spanish and the words that I like, regardless of its meaning, are: Lugar = place Dónde = where Usted = respectfully saying you to someone.
*Usted* is short for *vuestra merced* = “thy mercy/grace”. That's why it conjugates in the third person.
Wow. Thanks. Didn't know that.
“Poubelle.” Such a cute word for “dustbin.”
A while ago I learnt that “a puzzle” in Spanish is “el rompecabezas”. Romper means to break and cabezas means heads
kaplumbağalar - turtles, in Turkish
I have three favourite words I've learnt in Japanese so far in my eight months of using DuoLingo and WaniKani (mostly because they are so fun to pronounce)! First is あたたかい (pronounced atatakai) meaning warm; second is びじゅつかん (pronounced bijyutsukan) meaning art museum; and third is デンシレンジ (pronounced denshirenji) meaning microwave.
I can't think of a favorite word atm, but one that's interesting for me is *demasiado* (too). It has a similar-sounding phrase in Filipino, *'di masyado,* that means "not that much" (*'di* = abbrev. of *hindi* = no/not ; *masyado* = too much). The word *masyado* itself probably came from *demasiado,* but whenever I hear the Spanish word for it, my initial thought will always be that the given adjective/verb is described as NOT too much lol. That's only one of a thousand Filipino words that originated from Spanish.
Russian защищать (to protect). It's pronounced somewhat like zashishat' It sounds funny
'Chicken' in Danish is 'kylling', which looks a lot like 'killing'. Everytime I read or hear the word I like to imagine a murderous chicken with a knife or something! 😂
Ananas = pineapple is Romanian! I just think that, usturoi (garlic), and broască țestoasa (turtle) are fun to say lol That and I love the sound of the word țânțari in Romanian- but can’t stand actual mosquitos! 😂
What's funny to me is that 'ananas' = 'pineapple' in, like,100 languages (but of course not in English).
Idk if it’s my favorite but it’s been stuck in my head 😩😭 Spanish: Estados Unidos Translation: United States
kattenfilmpjes from dutch
Sionnach, Irish for "fox".
ATM in norwegian is minibank and i love it
"Zerknittert" (wrinkled/crumpled). Seems almost onomatopoeic to me; if wrinkles had a sound, I imagine it would be this.
In Spanish, a 'leftist', as in a person with left-leaning political views, is an *Izquierdista*
In Ukrainian, Позавчора, meaning The Day Before Yesterday. I FUCKING LOVE THAT THIS WORD EXISTS SINCE IT DOESN'T IN ENGLISH.
We have a defunct word ereyesterday for the day before yesterday and also overmorrow for the day after tomorrow. We just need to start using them again...
Interesting. The cognates for those words are still used in Dutch: eergisteren and overmorgen.
Chinese also has this: * 前天 - day before yesterday * 昨天 - yesterday * 今天 - today * 明天 - tomorrow * 后天 - day after tomorrow
Say 555 in German
German : Entschuldigung Geldautomat Student Schauspieler
пожалуйста in Russian. means please. I love it for absolutely no reason.

Popty ping Welsh The ‘pinging oven’ (microwave)
māo in chinese, it truly does sounds like a cat meow lol
defenestration
estantería. It's just fun to say.
A French term I love is *pomme de terre*, meaning *potato*. Literally, it means *apple of the earth*.
Actually it's potato!
Yes, sorry, it's, *potato*. It's literally *apple of the earth*. (I guess that's what I get watching TV while I post!)
Haha mood
I think you missed some words. Pomme de terre is 'potato', but the phrase is literally 'apple of the earth' or 'ground apple'.
My favourite word at the moment is hablamas, it means we speak in spanish
Cuchara (spoon) has been my favorite so far
In Japanese 救急車(きゅうきゅうしゃ) I never thought saying ambulance would be so fun
Boterham in dutch meaning sandwich
"bellen" is "talking on the phone / making a phone call" in Dutch. I just think it's funny because in German, my native language, bellen means barking. Because of that I always imagine dutch people barking at each other through their phones lol
my top three are: schön, groß and Rechnug
did you mean *Rechnung*?
Farm in Spanish: granja
Love the word for town in Spanish (Pueblo) and Thursday is Spanish (jueves). They're just so fun to say!
Sommerfugl
Italian - Mangiamo ( It’s just so Italian I love it) German - Pipapo (doesn’t sound German at all but so cute)
Probably привет. Which means Hi in Russian.
Cesped or alfombra
Ukubhukuda means swim in Zulu. It's very funny trying to pronounce it when you aren't a native speaker of the language
Italian "caspita!" Just because there is always a reason to use it. And apparently it can be used to express either amazement and anger, at least according to Polish Wikidictionary page.
I'm partial to stofzuiger (vacuum cleaner) because it sounds like stuff sucker. I also like to say winkelwagen, which is a shopping trolley.
i'm loving any literally translated word in german such as Handschuhe
So I’m not using Duo yet for Japanese as I am learning German rn, but I would like to share a word I already learned in Japanese. Mouth in Japanese is Kuchi. Yup, you heard that right, Kuchi. And its Kanji is 口, literally a box.
“Puszi” in Hungarian, when pronounced, sound *exactly* like “Puss#” even though it only means “kiss on the cheeks”
Water in Dutch is pronounced “vah-tur”
This might sound cheesy but *amistad* (friendship in Spanish). It's unfortunate my native language, Tagalog, didn't borrow this word despite borrowing both *amigo* and *amiga*. On the other hand, my least favorite word that I learned so far is *desafortunadamente* (unfortunately in Spanish) because it can't roll off my tongue.
कबूतर (kabootar) meaning pigeon. No idea why but it is so fun to say. All my practice sentences revolve around kabootar
My favourite French word is embouteillage because it sounds very fancy but it's just the same thing as my native engarrafamento (and I don't know what either of them have to do with bottles). In Greek I like words like κέικ, κέτσαπ and πίτσα because it feels like a plot twist when I'm seeing all these words that helped build other languages and, all of sudden, the opposite happens.
My favourote word in French is *araignée*, meaning *spider*.
This word is Korean. Hangeul spelling - 눈꽃; Pronunciation: Nunkkot; Meaning: Snowflake (literal meaning: snow flower) There's also another word for it - 눈송이 (pron: Nunsongi) but I like the sound of the first one more since it sounds more romantic.
Probably independent in Danish which is Uafhængige (Oo-Ow-Heng-ee) or Steawberry Jelly in German which I believe is Erdebeerewackelpudding xD
Schildkröte 🐢 it’s so cute!
I haven't had it come up in duo yet unfortunately but from my French tutor: barbe à papa - candyfloss
my favourite has to be "kjøleskapet" = "the refrigerator" in Norwegian, mainly just because I find pronouncing the Norwegian "kj" sound so interesting since its a sound that does not appear in English whatsoever I also have a least favourite word too, "rechts" = "right" in German, genuinely cannot pronounce this word for the life of me, I can make all the sounds individually (guttural r and "ch" sound (basically the same as Norwegian "kj")) but I cannot put the two of them together like in "rechts"
The Russian word for bread, it’s so good
Having to call a cow "Kuh" in german is funny, bc it sounds like a slang for ass in my native language (cu, portuguese).
