In māori whaka is (pronounced fucka) means to do or to make. It sounds like an insult. Ahau means I and is pronounced as (a ho) also sounds like an insult in english. In German gross is big, but in English it's yucky or distasteful.

Cin Cin is how you say "Cheers" in Italy. I can already imagine a Japanese teen giggling after cheering with Cin Cin

[@NIDELLANEUM]

I already giggle when it comes to "Hai!", because it kinda sounds like what an Italian says when they're hurt, "ahi!". I imagine a Japanese guy hearing an Italian one saying "YES!" whenever they're hurt

NIDELLANEUM I'm half Japanese and I've heared some Italians saying "Cincin" once and I was trying not to laugh or at least make it look as if I saw something funny on the internet

[@NIDELLANEUM]

Well, sometimes Japanese words do look like something dirty in Italian. For instance, last night I made ハムカツ and my family joked about how "katsu" sounded like "cazzo", which is the Italian word for dick. It took me a lot not to giggle while saying "katsu" or "gatsu" (when I say the months)

Celaka in Malay: 1. not good (fate); not happy; hapless; unfortunate. 2. an accident resulting in hardship; disaster. 3. curse word for damned or infernal Celaka in Indonesian: 1. have hardship; unfortunate. 2. (vulgar) impious/infedel (from arabic kafarat), damned, bedbug/rascal/scoundrel/shameless. 3. (interjection) oh no!; expression of displeasure

So cute! Sometimes similar sounding words have the same meaning. Ewe (English) and juh (Hungarian) sound similar and have the same meaning only by accident. The English word "coach" (meaning long-distance bus), however, does come from the Hungarian word "kocsi" (car, baby carriage, train car, horse-carriage) which is derived from the name of the town Kocs. ("Kocsi" means "of Kocs" or "from Kocs," meaning something made there or from there.)

German: Handy (means mobile phone) English: handy (means useful, in german: handlich/praktisch) Swissgerman: poste (means shopping, in german: Einkaufen) German: posten (means to post) Swissgerman: Müsli (means little mouse, in german: Mäuschen) German (and many other languages): Müsli (means muesli/cereals, Swiss German: Müesli) Swiss standard german: Fahrausweis (means: drivers license, in german: Führerschein) German: Fahrausweis (means: ticket, swiss standard german: Billet)

[@701983]

As far as I know, "driving license" is "Führerausweis" in Swiss German, which is pretty weird for Germans and Austrians. Because "Ausweis" mostly means "ID card" and "Führer" gets likely associated with "Adolf Hitler" in this context. "Führerausweis" sounds like Hitler's ID card.

[@nirutivan9811]

Just Curious Okay officially it is Führerausweis, but I say nearly never Führerausweis, most of the time I (and everyone I know) use the more colloquial Fahrausweis. And germans say Führerschein, this could mean Hitlers ticket.

[@701983]

Yeah, it's all about habit. Nobody in Austria/Germany thinks of Hitler, when he hears "Bergführer, Fremdenführer, Führerschein,...". Only if the word is used in an unfamiliar way, the "Hitler"-connotation appears. For all non-German-speakers: "Führer" means "leader", but also "guide" or "pilot". I only knew "Führerausweis" from Swiss newspapers. But I believe you of course, when you say, "Fahrausweis" is colloquial Swiss German for driving license. And just for completion, for German-interested viewers: There are three common words for "ticket" (bus, train) in German: "Fahrausweis", "Fahrkarte" and "Fahrschein". Might be a regional thing, which word is used more frequently.

[@henrikl.w.4058]

In Swedish "gift" means both "poison" and "married". It's also the same pronunciation! Also, the British pronunciation of "caught" sounds the same as the Swedish "kåt", which means "horny". :D

[@lopesfas]

Something really crazy happened to me and to my wife during our honeymoon trip to Santiago, Chile. And yet Portuguese and Spanish share the same linguistic root, they can be dramatically different sometimes. So, as I was saying, my wife and I were on the plane travelling to Santiago and, sometime after dinner, she wanted to have the pudding the flight attendant had given us, but we didn't have any silverware. So, we both stood up to talk to her, mainly because I wanted to use the toilet. I honestly didn't know how to say "spoon" in Spanish, so I relied on some "Portuñol" (Portuguese and Español) and I said: "nosotros queremos una 'cojer'"[ko.her](because in Portuguese the word for spoon is "colher" [ko.li.Er]). The flight attendant then got ashamed and shocked! (Only then I realised I had said sth inappropriate, I just didn't know what). And then I tried using mimics and even English (I'd like a spoon, please!). Only after calming down from her shock she said: "oh, a 'cuchara!' only after returning to Brazil I discovered that "cojer" in Spanish means "having sex"... That's why I never tried speaking Spanish again...

It sure is fun. In Waray-waray (one of the languages in the Visayas part of the Philippines), we have: "Kita kita'n 'Kita Kita' kita-kita la" which means "Let's watch 'Kita Kita' (title of movie which means -I see you-) just us." 😂

I had a portugues friend who i was talking with. My sentence was (somehow) to compliment about his eyelash, there was her girlfriend too, who is also hungarian , like me. And i said him: you have long “szempilla” And he said: szem pilla?? I have pila !!! In portugues “sem pila” means hmmm like “without penis” :D so i had to say sorry xD since that time i know that word “lash” :D

I love the mind blowing moment when I found a word that was similar but had different meanings in three different languages! The word is "dur" it means door in Armenian, long distance in Persian and stop in Turkish.
