Romance Languages Compared to Latin

[@himlingpatrice]

For fox, the French word comes from a book written around 1200: "Le roman de renart" This book speaks of a very clever "goupil" (the word goupil comes from vulpes). The book had such an impact that the word "goupil" disappeared from everyday language and was replaced by renart -> renard.

And as time went by, the "wrong" palatalization remained, giving us Modern Romanian _zece, zeu, zi_ (decem, deus, dies). When I first moved to Romania, I quickly (well, quickly-ish) noticed how Z would sometimes replace the original Latin D. So if I didn't immediately understand a word, I'd do the Z > D thing and briefly ignore any diacritics - and, golly, that helped! That's how I realised that _târziu_ has something to do with lateness (cf. Eng. "tardiness") and that something that was _interzis_ was forbidden/prohibited ("interdis" in French), and so on and so forth. :)

I know Irish is obviously not a Romance language, but a large influence on Ireland’s native vocabulary, music, dance, and overall culture (and historic bloodlines, even) is from the Iberian Peninsula, predominantly Spain, as it’s not that far to the south. Many of their words resemble Spanish words, even if the pronunciation & grammar sets it apart from true romance languages. For example, ‘the horse’ in Spanish is _el caballo_ and in Irish, it’s _an capall_ -so pretty close. Even the Irish word for ‘Spain’ is _Spáinne_ which is more or less pronounced like _España_ (minus the starting ‘E’). Or the Spanish _rey_ (‘king’) is _rí_ in Irish. Many words are similar like this, especially the numbers: Uno-aon (h/een) Dos-dhá (doe) Tres-trí (tree) Cuatro-ceathair (caw-hair) Cinco-cúig (coo-eg) Seis-seisear (“César”, lol) Siete-seacht (shocked) Ocho-ocht (oaked) Nueve-naoi (nee) Diez-deich (deck)

[@marcopanzironi6612]

Fun fact: Celtic and Italic languages split very late from each other in the Indo-European family tree of languages

[@TheNiklo88]

The similiarity is not due to Spanish influence on Irish, it’s because Italic (the branch of the Indo-European languages Romance languages are the only remaining members of) and Celtic languages are comparatively pretty closely related to each other on the Indo-European family tree. It is hypothesised the split pretty late from each other

[@AviSchwartzman]

As other said, these words are cognates and not borrowings, due to italic and celtic languages splitting later.

In portuguese from Portugal dog is "cão", plural "cães" from latin "cane(m), canes". The "ã" has a nasal sound in substitution of the "n" letter.. But in Brasil "cachorro" means a dog since is puppy to old dog. The word "cachorro" comes from the Latin "catulus", after passing through Basque, which changed its ending to -orro. Back in Rome, it meant “cub” - the baby of any animal. Strictly speaking, it can be used for all baby mammals.

Great video! Personally, I would’ve put "fēlēs" for cat for Latin and added cattus as the cognate which developed later on. Although there is a distinction between the two words, fēlēs is the most common and standardized word for cat in classical Latin, cattus first appears in writing around 75 AD, so toward the end of classical Latin, and is still seldom used at that point by authors, the distinction between domesticated cat and tomcat comes quite late in Latin’s linguistic history.

[@yuramejimenez7494]

In Latin Fēlēs was used for domestic cats and Cattus for wild cats, curiously , in vernacular romance, it turns backwards, using fēlēs for wild cats and Cattus for the domestic ones.

[@georgevladimirovich7190]

"fēlēs" rather describes the members of the feline family however, it was also used to describe a cat.

[@jcrivera24]

In Spanish, another way of naming a cat besides "gato" is "felino" but it's too formal and is also used to describe lions, tigers, leopards and cats. Therefore, "gato" is much more common.

It's important to note that for almost all words in all languages, there is always a less common word that matches the latin original, but just fell in disuse, or is used for a similar but not the exact term, etc. For example... the word NEGRO exists in Portuguese and is VERY common. But it's used mainly in relation to DARK or to the "race". Lado Negro da Força (Dark Side of the Force) Rio Negro (Black River) Lago Negro (Black Lake) Raça negra (Black race) Quadro Negro (Black board) The word VERMELHO used in Portguese for red is used in other latin languages for a specific shade of red. All the while, Portuguese has a word called ROXO (pronounced Rosho), which is similar to purple, clearly comming from "rosso", and the word RUBRO is used in some specific contexts as well as ALBO-ALBI. For example, when refering to football clubs by their colors, the most common way to refer to FLAMENGO, whose colors are red and black, is RUBRO-NEGRO A team with colors white and blue will be often called ALBI-CELESTE The word CÃO, for dog, is also QUITE common in Portuguese.

"Negro" is also used in Brazil for black, but it has a more racial context. In the past, it was common to use "negro" to refer to people of African descent, "preto" was used as a racial slur. A few years ago this was reversed (I'm going to be 20 and until I was 10 it was normal to wear black and today it's the opposite), using "negro" became an insult and "preto" is the term to refer to black people. But the context doesn't help either. "Preto" is used to refer to color while "negro" is used more to refer the dark.
