In Brazilian portuguese we say the letter X. That actually sounds a lot like the english word cheese when said in portuguese. That's why you can find X-Burgers anywhere in Brazil, while looking for Cheeseburgers.

[@rosiefay7283]

But why would Brazilians use X which sounds like the English word "cheese", rather than "queijo"?

[@GeneralXarzu]

Fun fact for fellow language nerds: Most of the North European words for orange (Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian etc.) look a bit like the Danish 'appelsin' from this episode, and are all derived from 'china(Chinese) apple'. Most of the rest of Europe's languages call it (like England) by it's colour. However, in old English it was a 'cīnæppel', which solidly falls into the first category, so the word 'orange' was imported by the French.

[@panda4247]

Here, have som more etymology: SK, CZ, PL words pomaranč, pomeranč, pomarańcza are derived from "pomme orange" a.k.a. "orange apple".

In German you can call it Orange or Apfelsine which means Apple(sine).

[@cacamilis8477]

[@Richard_is_cool]

[@marcusjohns5166]

Your pronunciation is a bit off. It's Chi-Yeah Zi (Che-Zi, Without that second syllable on the first part of word, would be Wife/Missus). I'm sure SOMEONE could have found a usage for the eggplant emoji anyway.

[@babboon5764]

@Tom Sharpe Very, very slowly. The Chinese probably do it fluently of course.

[@lighinz137]

Tom Sharpe with difficulty. it’s not phonetic so you literally just have to memorize all the separate words

[@marcusjohns5166]

It's a tonal language as well@Tom Sharpe . So pronunciation is VERY important to the meaning of the word. Take, for instance, the word "Ma" which can mean 'Ma' which can mean Mother, Horse, to swear, signify a question or a host of other things depending on the WAY you say it (With a flat tone, a rising tone, a rising and falling tone, a falling tone, OR no tone).

[@DrFatihD]

In Turkish, we say "peynir" which literally means "cheese". We also used the word "cheese", which phonetically is "çiiz" in Turkish. And we have "üç yüz otuz üç" which is "333" for mimicking the kissing gesture.

[@thewishingpig]

Aleksandar Aleksic Tells you how much school sucked. My high school World History finals had the question “What was the official title of The Second World War?” and both Second World War and World War II were wrong, because their answer was “World War 2.” The U.S. public school system might as well just be a test to see if you can read a McDonalds order slip correctly, for all it’s worth.

[@Simon-Zephyr]

Aleksandar Aleksic I may have sucked at school but at least I’m a pro at KZbin right? xd

[@Simon-Zephyr]

Merbaum Shador Couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said. With KZbin, you choose “I want to learn about space and the planets” rather than school guiding you to learn about something you’re not interested in, but you’ve got to sit through it anyway, whereas on KZbin, if you decide “wow space is boring” you can just search something else.
