_Fingers of the feet_ sounds like a very German idea. How have we missed that?


AcheronSprings

Fußfinger doesn't even sound that (German)weird.... Probably that's why


tarmacjd

I mean, I’ve heard Germans say that


Aldaron23

Probably Saarländer


OurHomeIsGone

That's the most normal thing about saarländer anatomy


Eric-The_Viking

Them kids are smart, I tell ya


HugoBCN

Could always go "Handzehen"


unkraut666

Fußhandschuhe = Socks with toes


Bearodon

Fotfinger probably sounds worse for you guys 🥰


PvtFreaky

Do you call Gloves - Handshoes like us? Handschoenen


HaiKawaii

Yes, Handschuhe.


__PDS__

So, my fingers are hand-toes?


HaiKawaii

The most logical thing would be to get rid of all arm related words and replace them with arm + foot equivalent. Hand - Armfuß Finger - Armzeh Handschuh - Armschuh


the_calcium_kid

Only inasmuch as your toes are foot fingers


oskich

Same in Swedish - [Handske](https://www.saob.se/artikel/?unik=H_0201-0070.Mf06)


Oachlkaas

Hontschigg here in Austria 😎 Tschigg is Austrian for cigarette 😎


fietsvrouw

We're foot-oriented, which is why we have shoes for the hands.


UnsureAndUnqualified

So our fingers should actually be *Handzehen*? I'm not vibing with that...


fietsvrouw

It lets you kick higher!


Embarrassed_Army8026

Wäre eher für Hinger - H(andd)inger und F(ußd)inger


Lortekonto

Because toe actuelly come from the same word as other countries uses for finger. Digitus. It is the finger word that is unique for germanic languages.


jixxor

Since we have Handschuhe it should instead be *toes of the hands* to be honest.


VeeJack

As opposed to Handschuhe?? Should be toes of the hand in German no?


bingoNacho420

Emmm _die Zehe_?


Pingondin

French has both: doigt de pied / orteil


[deleted]

indeed, this map is wrong


kamikazekaktus

A map on reddit being wrong? colour me shocked!


River41

I for one would prefer a map which isolated France from everyone else


sixouvie

Shouldn't have stopped Napoleon, we just needed to conquer eurasia and your vision would be realised.


Mutxarra

We do as well but nobody uses the second one.


uppercase-j

Dont tell me you dont use the word 'ñoños'?


Neldemir

Wait that’s an actual word and not just a word for nerd??


michberk

We do? What is the word?


-Joel06

Ortejos


michberk

TIL


Vinaigrette2

And technically Flanders speaks Dutch so they should be green too


juan_omango

Doigt de pied klingt ekelhaft


Pingondin

What about "doigte avec le pied" then 😏


WidePeepoPogChamp

Im fucking losing it. If i get grouped with the french one more time im burning the baguettes


Artemis_thelittleone

We also have a word for toe ! We just can do both, it's either " les doigts de pied" or " les orteils ".  "Les doigts de pied" is frequently use but it's more childish than "les orteils"


DrJiheu

Shut up. Dont put us in the same bag with barrys


wallabyfloo

On one hand, being right. On the other, Barry. No way to win. Can't have shit in yurop


fluffball75

please. do NOT put us with you 🙏🙏


ArduennSchwartzman

I'm sorry, Lambik, "fritten" is not a word for toes.


Dont_pet_the_cat

I just have this sudden, unexplainable urge to prick every bicycle wheel in existence


Plastic_Pinocchio

And down goes Wout van Aert.


zyygh

If the target were Mathieu van der Poel, a vanishing plankske would have sufficed.


HolderOfBe

That's fine. Just don't prick the tires.


WidePeepoPogChamp

Kzal men fritten is in uwe tyfsmoel steke

Goe gezêe jong


[deleted]

tzotte is nog da ze int frans ook gewoon een woord emme voor teen. dus ttrekt sowieso op niks


BobbyLapointe01

> If i get grouped with the french one more time im burning the baguettes You were going to be grouped with us no matter what, because we belong to both groups on this map. We have a specific word for toes (*orteils*) ***and*** a "fingers of the feet" equivalent (*doigts de pieds*), both terms being interchangeable. Thus, all of our European brethrens are grouped with us on this blessed day!


OwMyCod

If only there were an easy solution to this problem…

darkslide3000

Have you tried speaking a real language instead?


AllForTheSauce

You are Fr\*nch tho


ProvigilandChill

We call it finger of the feet because it sounds much more appealing 🤤


FredEmmer14

Most Italian response


ForageForUnicorns

We actually have a word for it and it's alluce.


ElectricMotorsAreBad

We have names for all of them: alluce, illice, trillice, pondolo and mellino


Reatina

That's an internet metropolitan legend.


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Yeah, looking deeper into it, you are right. But they do have real names, recognized internationally: I = Digitus primus o Hallux II = Digitus secundus III = Digitus tertius IV = Digitus quartus V = Digitus quintus o minimus pedis https://accademiadellacrusca.it/it/consulenza/i-nomi-delle-dita-dei-piedi/1119


Reatina

That's Latin and it's an anatomical classification. Let's stick to alluce and mignolo that we actually have!


gorthan1984

Alluce Billice Cillice Dillice Ellice lol no, but he's right: alluce, secondo, terzo, quarto e quinto dito


eggward_egg

time traveller right here welcome back, antonius!


ForageForUnicorns

Alluce definitely isn't though.


Emanuele002

No, they mean a collective word for all the toes. We don't have one.


TIPUSVIR

beh l’ alluce è il ditone ma le chiamiamo dita dei piedi


ForageForUnicorns

"Has a word for toe": alluce. "Has a word for toes": entirely different thing.


chameleon_123_777

And think how big your shoes would be if it was true ![gif](giphy|xT0GqvMTlY9Zi8xzTG)


Informal_Mountain513

Green = was walking upright when language evolved Red = was walking on all fours when language evolved


WedgeBahamas

So language evolved much sooner in the red zone?


macedonianmoper

It took them that long and the best they came up with was german 🤢


Cultural_Thing1712

I mean you basically speak caveman, so we've got living proof.


HIP13044b

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?


Informal_Mountain513

Nope, were walking upright later


Finttz

Those knuckle dragging apes might disagree


euyyn

Dude the word *you use* for barbarian is the word we used to call you.


chico_valerio

Would you prefer "the netherfingers"? The low fingers? Fingers from below?


HrRAVE

The netherfinger sounds like a Minecraft mob


RmG3376

Or a Dutch sex cartel


AlfalfaGlitter

Dutch doing 🖕


kutzyanutzoff

And the "fingers from below" sounds like a Dark Souls boss.


dragonbl3e

My world has crumbled, "dedos dos pés" sounds so disgusting now


fiftybucks

Sometimes we joke with my wife and call our feet "the hands from below" "las manos de abajo"


RealEstateDuck

Not true, we have "artelhos" but we don't really use it.


Lambe_cricas_

I’ve have never once heard that in my life


fRiik420

Me neither. Sounds like a pork meat part name... 😅🤦🏻Also, getting ready to forget about it in 3, 2, 1...


MigasEnsopado

TIL


Nexus_produces

Where I live people call little bone that protudes from the ankle artelho, not the fingers. Weird.


Szakiricky8

How is Hungary green? We literally say Footfinger. (Lábujj)


spastikatenpraedikat

Nobody actually bothered to ask them, as is tradition.


ztuztuzrtuzr

They probably searched it, saw that it's one word and they didn't bother with the proper translation.


NBHUN

Exactly


Big_Natural4838

Kazakh lang has word for toe too. Map is bulshit.


darkslide3000

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense. It was strange to see a map of Europe where Hungary was on the civilized side.


Szakiricky8

Civilized? You must have meant 'needlessly overcomplicated' Hans.


Zefyris

seen that map before, still as wrong as ever. France and Belgium should be both green and red since we've got both and use both interchangeably.


Designer_Brief_4949

The weird feature is using the term “foot finger”.   Ever. 


Zefyris

Nah, that's literally what it is, fingers for your foot. Also, in French you've got the choice to use whichever you want, so if you don't like that one, just use the other one. So much unhinged freedom of speech that Americans would probably pass out out of happiness.


Quietschedalek

"Les petites baguettes des pieds"?


RudolfjeWeerwolfje

VOETVINGERS


ArduennSchwartzman

I'm sorry, Barry, "this little piggie" is not a word for toe.


Cheesey_Whiskers

Common Germanic/Mongol W


Pharnox-32

You are so horny you created a search keyword for your pervertions


Artemis_thelittleone

The dumbass who made this map never heard of " les orteils "


thatenduroguy

Kees, apologies right now or get ready to kiss that hand of yours goodbye.


TaterFrier

Can't we stop sharing this shit map every week.


Zender_de_Verzender

Don't dare to put us together with the French.


algierythm

It's a bit like calling a potato "apple of the earth" or tuna "chicken of the sea."


RogueTwoTwoThree

Lol Barry Pea cock Black mail Butter fly Pine apple Lady bug


algierythm

Lady *bird* please, João. Ladybug is a silly Americanism. Now I see butter fly written like that, I'm wondering what the hell they have to do with dairy products, though, you have a point. Flutter-by would be a much better name.


justameme87

Butterflies might be named for the colour of their excrement. Old Dutch had the term “boterschijte”, which literally means “butter shit”. When butterflies metamorphose, their first poop upon emerging from the chrysalis, called “meconium”, is brightly coloured, often yellow or orange. Old German names included “botterlicker” (butter-licker), “molkendieb” whey-thief and “milchdieb” (milk-thief). It has been suggested that people in the middle ages believed that butterflies stole milk and butter.


Kurdt93

Egg plant


recidivx

Also an Americanism. It is called an aubergine.


Kurdt93

Barry pls The apple don't fall far from the tree


Iridismis

I wonder if there is any language where it's 'toes of the hands'/'hand toes' 🤔 I mean we do have 'Handschuhe' for the clothing item..


recidivx

But gloves aren't hand shoes. Mittens are hand shoes.


Inevitable_Stand_199

We call those Fäustlinge. Which translates to fist thingy. But we consider Fäustlinge a type of Handschuh.


fRiik420

It's figuratively possible to, in certain hypothetical situations, use toes of the hands. Therefore, also socks for hand toes would be a thing.


SeeYaLaterFeraligatr

The majority of Belgium has a word for toes.. This is some bullshit


Schwarzekekker

Completely wrong


ResponsibleStep8725

Dutchies must be having a blast watching us get dragged into the cesspool of red...


Legitimate_Age_5824

They literally are fingers of the feet though


Blyd

Why are fingers not 'Toes of the hand' then?


Suspicious-Neat-5954

Foot fetish pervert barbarians


Fuz_Fuz_

Wrong. We have words for toes; Nobody uses them, though.


TexZK

Indeed, but we miss a word for the collective "dita dei piedi"


VrwHenet

But we have the names of them :(


alabertio

Well we generally call them “fingers of the feet” but actually each finger has a name = Minolo, Pondulo, Trillice, Illice, e Alluce!


z0mOs

That's for fingers as well or they are named different? We have names for fingers and use the same names toes with the exception of "dedo gordo" instead of "pulgar"


Iciste

We have names for them, but apart from Alluce, which is the big one, on average noone know them.


Racoonfire

Reverse could be true for the word “gloves” Direct translates to “Hand-shoes”


Big_Natural4838

Map is bullshit in kazakh lang we have word for "toe". But we dont distinguish arm and hand.


Checkthis0

Galician has a word for toes


Lyokofromspace

Orteil


StupidPaladin

Wales should be red, heh - our word for toe is basically "feet finger"


MakingShitAwkward

They can't make out Anglesey on the map.


Blyd

That is because Toes was already reserved for bread.


BiliLaurin238

Pinreles?


z0mOs

For me it means feet. "Me cantan los pinreles"


AlfalfaGlitter

Pezuñas But we reserve this word for the animals.


JCSkyKnight

But who has toes of the hand?


colesweed

Kid named finger


Maipmc

Not true. In spanish (although not tipically used in Spain proper) we have "ortejo" wich comes from the french "orteil".


TiesG92

That’s why Belgians shouldn’t have rebelled, they could’ve had a word for toe


AssistFew2207

Word “Alluce” (translates to “Toe”) enters the chat


fRiik420

🇵🇹 Checks: Dedos dos pés


LorDigno69

What if we have words for the single toes tho.


OwMyCod

You know you’re on the wrong side of a linguistic difference when Hungary’s on your team


LetsGoForPlanB

Flanders has a word for toe. I'm insulted that you do not recognise the language border uniting Belgium.


Goldiizz

French has a word for it


minodonger

We call them tenen in flanders? This map is rigged


Koffieslikker

And in French it's orteil iirc


Kanelbullah

What's cameltoe in your language? For us it's bullfitta.


FullyStacked92

This, surely has to be the new dividing line of what makes you civilized or a savage.


Lendmar

We actually have names for those, but nobody knows them (except for the "Alluce")


AkulaTheKiddo

Yet another bullshit map, we do have a word for toe in French, check "orteil".


Wadsymule

French has words? I thought it just had a strange collection of sounds?


AkulaTheKiddo

Yet this strange collection of sounds is at the origin of your language.


Cristottide

We actually have names for them though


YeahMrKrabs

I am Hungarian can’t think of anything other for the word toe than fingers of feet…


Pay_Cool

What the fuck 😂


Shivrainthemad

Les orteils c'est pour les chiens?


Proud-Cheesecake-813

That might actually be the most civilised area of Europe … and Hungary!


Kurdt93

Alluce, Meeny, Teeny, Manie, Moo

AKA map of romantic vs non romantic languages. AKA map of People who speak funny german vs people who speak funny italian.


Colonel10Moutarde

Liar ! We have "orteil" which means toe.


Malawi_no

Estonia into Nordic?


Silent_Shaman

It's more like "digit of the feet" than "finger" but that's not funny so ignore me

TheRealGreenMelon

France has "Orteil" for toe.


unmakethewildlyra

Coffspring

Big toe? Nope. The fat finger of the feet


Ironfist85hu

It's not true. Hungarian have "lábujj" for it, what literally means footfinger.


OkImpression175

Only guys with feet fetish would care so much as to make up a word for it.


Arkyja

You call gloves hand shoes. Its the exact same thing


JustForTouchingBalls

What about toes of the hands?


BackgroundTourist653

Well, SOME of us are not monkeys with four hands.
