French : - Concombre (the english had been borrowed from the french, which itself comes from the latin cucumerem) - Ouragan (which a word for native American language) - Pêche (fishing is also « pêche », like in Italian the word is the same for both words) - Triste - Avion (in older times there was the word « aéroplane », not much used now - Papillon - Fourchette (la) - Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Southern Italian dialects have more Spanish influence from what I heard, due to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies being under the Spanish crown. I hear in some Southern Italian accents, they trill the first R of a word like a double R, so Roma is Rroma. The S is always pronounced like a double S too, so casa is pronounced like cassa. They also tend to use the passato remoto over the passato prossimo for the past tense. So ho mangiato becomes mangiai. This is also common in Latin America, as they say comí instead of he comido, which is more common in Spain. Lastly, I hear that Voi is still used in some places over Lei to refer to the second person plural you. This is similar to Spain's vosotro.

There are many dialects in Italy using something similar to "cucumber" instead of "cetriolo". In Piedmont, it's "cucumbər".

"Cogombre" in Catalan

In the dialect of Lombardy the cucumber is called "cücümér", but in italian "cocomero" means watermelon (i think that we have at least 10 words to name that fruit). The spanish call the peach as "melacoton" because of the velvet skin, in Italy there is a fruit named "mela cotogna" for the same reason. It's one of the first cultivated plant in history but had nothing to do with the apples or the peaches: the fruit is barely edible, but turn to be amazing in marmalade. For me the 'tenedor' version of the fork has much more sense than the italian corrispective, that literally mean 'little pitchfork'; does not exist a real equivalent word as can be in english with 'keeper', the translation can be 'tenente' that is a verb, participle present, but mean the lieutenant, the armed forces rank (there is also 'luogotenente' that is a temporary or local substitute of the person in command).

@@lxportugal9343 Yes, I said that because it is a fruit that is not particularly tasty, not because it is poisonous: some people like it. It is a vegetable composed of very long carbohydrate chains that undergo a transformation during cooking, making it much sweeter and more palatable than its raw version. Thanks for the explanation about the etymology of the word, I didn't know it was derived from Portuguese, in Italian it is called "marmellata." I will add a curiosity: a few years ago Boris came out, a very cynical (and real) Italian TV series set in the world of bad TV dramas in which a very strong light is used, like in South American soap operas. The light is so strong and everywhere that it's like a layer of jam covering everything, so using lights in this way is called "smarmellare" and it become a very popular therm. :)

As someone who has studied both. How are you struggling with Spanish over Italian especially since a lot of Filipino words come from Spanish and Spanish is one of the easier if not the easiest for an English speaker to learn. Everything in Spanish exists in Italian But Italian has extra stuff not present in Spanish. Italian has 6 words for “The” while Spanish has 4 and then Italian has 4 words for “my” while Spanish has “mi” as in “mi madre, mi padre” so there doesn’t have to be agreement with gender but in Italian it has to so in Italian there is “mio, mia, mie, miei” then the same goes for yours, his, hers, ours, y’all’s, theirs”. And that’s just beginner words. Then for past tense Spanish doesn’t have agreement with the object so eaten would be “comido” regardless if you ate a masculine thing or a feminine thing, one thing or many things but in Italian the past tense has to agree with the object so “eaten” can be mangiato, mangiata, mangiati, mangiante and so on for other verbs in the past tense that effects an object. Although I will say that I think Spanish conjugation is easier to speak out. It’s short and flows off the tongue.

[@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN]

@@danielgiron6 isnt mio mia etc for “mine” and not “my”? I am not fluent in Spanish so I am not sure but that’s what I remember from studies so I am comparing the two languages from a POV of studying. Although we shouldn’t compare what isn’t used anymore, we should compare what is in use and spoken/ taught.

Found the origin of tenedor. You were right Andrea!. Comes from tener. Specifically from the Latin TENERE and DOR meaning holding/retaining and "agent" ( something/someone who does something). So it means that thing which holds stuff.

Makes sense, Forks are designed to grab hold of the food, where spoons are designed to scoop up.

[@ManuelRuiz-xi7bt]

Just as a motor is a mover and a ventilator is a windcarrier, a 'tenedor' in Spanish is a 'holder'.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

In Spanish tener means to have, while in Italian tenere means to hold. In Spanish, to hold is sostener, which is a cognate to sustain in English. I think the word for hold should have been mantener (maintain), since you tend to use your hands (manos) to hold things.

[@Argentvs]

@@lissandrafreljord7913 No... Spanish has many ways for things. In different regions tener means to hold. For example sostener is a word not used in Argentina, Tener is to have and to hold. Sostener is not used in speech though it can be used in writing, specially formal one. And mantener is mostly used as maintain, it's general usage is for maintenance talk though it can be as to sustain for persons, like mantenerse despierto (to stay awake).

Pepe in Spanish is a nickname for Jose but it ironically comes from Italian, the cognate in Italian for Jose is giuseppe ese the ppe al final es donde viene pepe y pepino sea el diminutivo que interesante eh If your a Spanish learner it may be easier if you know the etymology of ser and estar, estar comes from estatus in latín meaning state, whereas ser comes from sedere which means “to be sitting” think words like sediment sedentary etc So sadness is a state but your eyes will still sit there all blue for example it’s not always as hard and fast as that but mostly will keep you right

"Domenica" is a form from Latin "domus", but it's got an intermediate step: it's a feminine form of "dominicus" (meaning "of the Lord"). For proto-Italian the word "dies" was feminine, but for proto-Iberian (incl. Spanish), "dies" was masculine. It's why "domingo" is masculine in Spanish. Andrea, you were right about "tenedor"!
