Wild Animals | Felids (Felidae) | European Languages Comparison

[@apollonxyz]

Things that caught my attention while making the video: The fact that European countries do not use the words 'Cheetah' and 'Cougar', The similarity of the word lion in Turkish and Hungarian, The fact that leopard is 'Lampart' in Polish : ) Also, felines are generally very similar in most European languages.

[@wafikiri_]

@@apollonxyz Do not be surprised by that relation between Turkish and Hungarian names: Tukish ancestors reached Hungary and beyond, even the Hun name Attila is common in Hungarian lands and whereabouts.

[@bloodypigeon]

I expect that the reason why so many of the felines have similar names in Europe is because we learned about their existence at similar times, as most of those cats can't be found in Europe and so we would first have learned about them through Rome, or later contact.

[@KohaAlbert]

Not surprised on those being similar really. Most of these species aren't local (Europe is natively familiar with lynxes - not as much with the tigers and cougars, thus learning respective lexica from oneanother).

[@okaro6595]

Turkey had lions until the 19th century so it is natural they had their own word. In Europe they exited only in Greece and the Balkans. The Lion gate at Mycenae was not based on some exotic foreign animal.

In Spain, jaguars are called jaguares (sg. jaguar), not Panthera onca. However, the j is pronounced the Spanish way, sometimes transcribed as kh in English (a very hard h sound). I'm an old Spaniard and not once in my life have I heard a jaguar called Panthera onca - which sounds like a scientific name (genus, species). We'd never call any kind of panther Panthera, by the way: it's pantera for us.

The Brits use the term Puma as well. Puma and cougar are interchangeable words alongside mountain lion. As a Brit my first reaction to seeing the word cougar was that is an American term not British. Both words are interchangeable but a quick search of the internet which revealed that UK wildlife parks use the word puma and the fact that the word is used by the rest of Europe means that Brits are more likely to say Puma than cougar.

[@suzettehenderson9278]

Cougar is believed to come through French (Quebecois) from (Brazillian) Portuguese from a native South American word. So yeah, not European. But yeah here in the U.S. we call them Cougars, Mountain Lions, Pumas, Florida Panthers...

[@herrskanderr]

[@WGGplant]

brits ain't special its the same in the us too. tho it usually depends on the region. i call them mountain lions ofc a country that doesn't have mountain lions is less likely to have regional differences for their terms and more of a vibe difference.

[@tompatrick1410]

Puma is the genus, Cougar is the species. But as theres are only two species of Puma (North and South American Cougar) the words are largely interchangeable to your average punter. Puma does seem to be preferred here in the UK though. The German clothing brand Puma is somewhat popular, which could be a reason. Cougar would more likely be used for an attractive older woman in most contexts, but we would probably understand what you meant by Cougar or Mountain Lion in a natural setting

[@mattwilson50]

The puma/cougar i.e. Puma concolor has more common names than any mammalian species, I believe. Catamount and panther are also names for the big cat. Around here, we call them mountain lions and one broke into my ex-roommate's house.

My comment being was confusing. Between my german homevillage and next village there is a small forrest called Schleichinger Wald. There had been once a settlement Schleichingen, Behind next village in other direction , once a settlement Speck ( no Joke) had been. I don' t know exactly, but in Germany in 14th century some small settlements dissappeared after Black Death. With Name changes i mean a different thing. In 20th century, there had been often administration changes, mostly arround 1970, but also in interwar periode. For example in 1938 next to my Village the two villages Steinbach and Pfauhausen had . been united and got new name Wernau, so the names Steinbach and Pfauhausen dissappeared from map. Or , mostly arround 1970, some villages lost their independence and became a district of next town. Real name changes are indeed rare , but exist. Not far away is a village Auendorf, once the name was Ganslosen. Ganslosen means translated ,without goose/ goose lost'. In monarchy time they asked the King for allowness to change the name, because other people made fun about Village Name.

[@RafaChojnacki-od7ul]

@@brittakriep2938 At us in Poland some name changes also happened. After the I World War repeating names were distincted with adjectives determining the region : Grodzisk Mazowiecki - Grodzisk Wielkopolski, Ostrów Wielkopolski - Ostrów Mazowiecka (in this case feminine gender), Rawa Mazowiecka - Rawa Ruska, Tomaszów Mazowiecki - Tomaszów Lubelski and a few other couples. We have Mińsk Mazowiecki opposed to Mińsk (in English: Minsk) - this name didn't change because it was out of Poland - in Bielarus. Some called it Mińsk Litewski (Lithuanian one). After the Ii World War communists gave some adjectives with no reason, e.g. Konstantynów Łódzki (near Łódź, but there's one Konstantynów), Piotrków Trybunalski (connected with Tribunal - in the Modernity it was a summer session residence of Tribunal - something like Wetzlar in Germany). As you mentioned, during the Black Death some villages stopped existing and were reborn under a new name, so this wasn't a factual change of name. In Poland we had such a situation in the mid-17th century - after the Swedish invasion and Lubomirski's mutiny. Black Death avoided us and noone knows why.

We mostly call a leopard "leopar" in Turkish. Pars is used by some older people or in a spesific species' name as in "anadolu parsı" (anatolian leopard).

[@mattwilson50]

Species foreign to Europe - like the puma, tiger, jaguar, and leopard - have names that are almost entirely uniform across the continent because the people know the animals abstractly and not from personal experience. No endemic names developed because Europeans didn't interact with them.

[@osmankazan4879]

Fun fact. The name of the great lion from the Narnia Chronicles is Aslan from Turkish

03:05 wrong. Leopard Türkish language "Leopar"

[@KohaAlbert]

Estonian: Title and description has autotranslated felines as "felidid" (which isn't used in Estonian), but should be "kaslased" instead. Title should be: "Kaslaste (Felidae) nimekiri | metsloomad | Euroopa keelte vaheline võrdlus" That said, wild felines listed here seem to be main subclasses of the Panthers really (aside from lynx and cheetah). ___ Trivia: Synonym of "gepard" (learned loan via German) is "jahileopard" (calqe ← de: Jagd Leopard) Synonyms for "puuma" are "mägilõvi"(calqe ← "mountain lion") and "kuugar"(← cougar) - "mägilõvi" is widely used longtime term, which however seems to miss from the official dictionary; meanwhile dictionary did list the "kuugar", which for me at least was first ever to encounter that term (by quick searh seemed to show using the term for a certain kind of woman instead of the animal though).

[@apollonxyz]

Thanks for the feedback. Title and description translations are done automatically. There may be errors in most languages. For this reason, my goal in this channel is to create correct language maps. Let's add 'Puma' to the list of non-'Panthera' : )
