The colour yellow is Kitrino in Greek which is very similar too, it is were citrus is coming from in other languages.

About rabbit in Serbian we have "Зец / Zec" and "Кунић / Kunić". These are different species even though they are very similar and many people confuse them. "Zec" is a wild animal, which, unlike a "kunić", cannot be tamed and kept as a pet. They have longer ears and longer legs. "Kunić" can be domesticated, although there are also wild "kunić". Kunić has shorter ears and legs. And "Зека / Zeka" is bunny. For orange (fruit) we have two words that are used interchangeably which Draga mentioned when Anya said her word in Polish which is very similar "Поморанџа / Pomorandža" and "Наранџа / Narandža". It is interesting that the words for table and chair can be false friends in some languages. In Serbian table is "Сто(л) / Sto(l)", coffee table or small table is "Сточић / Stočić", chair is "Столица / Stolica" and the stool which British lady mentioned is a type of chair we call "Хоклица / Hoklica".

@@DjaildoQSjr It wouldn't make sense for languages from different families to have words with the same root, but European languages are one family.

"Yellow" is the perfect example of that, there are few exception of course like Portugese and Spanish that adopted Arabic word during the Muslim conquest of Iberian peninsula or Greek, Albanian and Slovenian for some other reasons but most of European languages use words that came from proto-indo-european word "*gʰel". Swedish - gul Norwegian - gul Islandic - gulur Dutch - geel English - yellow German - Gelb French - jaune Italian - giallo Romanian - galben Lithuanian - geltona Latvian - dzeltens In all Slavic languages except for Slovenian it's some variant of žlutá/żółty/жовтий(zhovtyy), the pronounciation is really similair in Slavic languages. The first sound of this word in Slavic languages represented usually by diacritic or Cyrillic letter is the same sound as French "j". All of those words come from the same PIE word, that's not even a theory, that's a fact, you can trace back how those words looked in ealier forms of European languages and the further to past you go back the more similair they are, to the point where they are the same exact word. Sound shifts that occured in this word in different languages also fit in with general sound shifts that occured in those languages. There are many words like that in European languages, even if not all of them are so widely spread across so many languages like "yellow" there are a lot of surprising connections like that between languages of Europe.

[@nirutivan9811]

@@SebHaarfagre I looked up the etymology of „Chüngel“ and „Kanin“ (or „Kaninchen“). Both word are derived from the latin word cuniculus and both words were probably introduced to the languages through old french (where it was „connin“ or „connil“). But while most other Germanic languages went with something more similar to the old french word „connin“ (norwegian, swedish and danish Kanin, dutch Konijn, german Kaninchen, icelandic kanína), Swiss German and many romance languages derived their words from the old French „connil“ (italian coniglio, romansh cunigl, occitan conilh, catalan conill, swiss german Chüngel). Interestingly modern French replaced „connin“ or „connil“ with „Lapin“. So while many european languages use a word derrived from the old french words, modern french doesn‘t.

That's not entirely true. The word orange and its many cognates in the European languages came from Arabic, but Arabic got it from Persian, which Persian got it from Sanskrit, so ultimately it is a Sanskrit word, which the fruit actually is native to India. The other half of the Europe, and the Middle East that uses a cognate of Portugal got the word from the fact that the Portuguese were the Europeans to introduce orange to Europe, so some European countries associated the orange fruit with Portugal.

But due to obvious reason (common border for the last thousand years) Polish took a lot of modern words from German (although some words migrated to the other side), which common Slavic words became obsolete in some languages (but knowing them is important for easier understanding other Slavic languages). A good example is "stół" which in Polish lost one of the meaning ("a chair" or "a stool" - the second is an Old Slavic origin) - now it means only "a table". But there is a derivative "stołek" (not used very often, but still in official language) - which means "a stool".

But more formally, "Hasen" refers to the whole family, i.e. it is an umbrella term that includes Feldhasen, but also Kaninchen and other species. This is a common linguistic phenomenon between English and German, btw. Can also be observed with whales and dolphins, for example. German tends to elevate one term to an umbrella term, while English tends to keep the original definitions of the English terms, and borrow the latin name (Leporidae/Cetacea/etc.) as an umbrella term. Which is why rabbits are not hares, but Kaninchen are Hasen, and why dolphins are not whales, but Delfine are Wale, and also why wallabies are not kangaroos, but Wallabys (German) are Kängurus, etc.
