Russian: Kislorod Ukrainian: Kysen' Czech: Kyslík Croatian: Kisik Serbian: Kiseonik Bulgarian: Kislorod Polish: TLEN

[@jankrupinski1162]

I'm Polish and I tried to check this one. We had a word such as "kwasoród" (I totally didn't know that and btw. it is literal translation from greek "oxygóno") but "tlen" was widly accepted very soon. "Tlen" comes from "tlić się" which means "to smoulder" (to burn softly) (I thought it would be the other way around) and as far as I understand has the same etymology as "tło" ("background").

[@jankrupinski1162]

And Polish "kwas" ("KWASOród") means "acid" in English, "οξύ / oxý" in Greek and e.g. "кислота / kislota" in Russian or "kyselina" in Czech

[@mihanich]

TLEN means "decay" or "despair" in Russian lol

Eastern European "Ftor" has different origin than "Fluorine"

[@petertolgyesi6125]

Hungarian does not deviate from the scientific names (for a change), except for things that were known much earlier than when those names became widely used. The word "szén", which means "coal", is used for carbon as well. The words for iron, copper, sulfur were too established to change to the Greek names.

[@arthurpazeto1919]

In Brazilian portuguese, is "Nitrogênio", similar to english and spanish words.

[@italodiniz3580]

Os dois são aceitos, embora nitrogênio seja mais comum.

[@lourencoboaventuracoelho8325]

Em Portugal também são aceite os dois. A única diferença é o acento no nitrogénio.

Waterstuff, coalstuff, sourstuff sound much better. Why use Greek names when there are Germanic alternatives

[@Zap210-c9h]

Why use German words when there are Greek alternatives ?

[@georgeserbezis4704]

Yep. Same question. As a greek I claim my copyright rights!

[@Galenus1234]

​@Zap210-c9h Why use Greek names in a Germanic language, when there are Germanic names available?

[@ELD_font]

These Germanic words sound kinda more goofy and unappealing for English speakers. The current words can be better at being directly associated with elements, without being associated with the compound words that form them.

in Bulgarian you do not have weird letters like ĭ and ŭ we use y and a/u and we do not use the letter combination kh we do not even have the sound for that we use just h

[@filipmiocic5184]

In Croatian there are names for elements that are rarely used, for example "smrdik" is our word for bromine, "svjetlik" for phosphorous, "jedik" for fluorine, "solik" for chlorine,...

[@melsbacksfriend]

What we can learn from this is just how different uralic languages are with their names.

Я вивчала в школі хімію з 94 року. Нітроген, гідроген, оксиген, меркурій, карбон, флуор - саме такі назви елементів ми вивчали на уроках хімії. Україна давно не використовує назви азот чи вуглець це тривіальні назви.

Мышьяк только у нас что ли? Выпендрились на ровном месте

[@LubovLubov-qy9dq]

Что значит выпендрились?! 😅 разве слова можно специально коверкать это сейчас всё выдумывают и искажают, так сложилось. Посмотрю в гугл.

[@LubovLubov-qy9dq]

Погуглила:Название мышьяка в русском языке происходит от слова «мышь», в связи с употреблением его соединений для истребления мышей и крыс. Греческое название ἀρσενικόν происходит от персидского زرنيخ (zarnik) - «жёлтый аурипигмент». Народная этимология возводит к др. -греч.

[@eliteintelectual.9948]

Turkish is not a European language 🙄

[@Kerem-mf9oy]

Ookay 'eliteintelectual.9948' 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@meralozdemir551]

All other languages are also Non-European languages. Origin of most spoken languages in Europe is outside of Europe. The video is about official languages of countries, not about the origin of languages. Otherwise Persian, some languages spoken in Afghanistan, Tadshikistan, India and Pakistan should be shown instead of Turkish. Since they are relative to "european" languages.
