Mariposa gang
Butterfly is a terrible name
And fish should be flowers.

mfer nationalised the comments section just like they did the swedish nuclear power plants
Germans nationalized Swedish power plants? TIL
yeah, Uniper is a major stakeholder in the Oskarshamn and Forsmark power plants, and it was absorbed into the German state in 2022.
Non ! Tokebakicitte !
Afrikaans: skoenlapper, which translates to shoe licker.
Italian not missing a beat in making things sound like pasta.
Wait that’s what bowtie pasta is named after isn’t it
Should be butterfly pasta! We’ve been robbed!
In Italian, butterfly, bowtie and the kind of pasta are all called “farfalla”. Which has come first, though?
Papillon in French
And Pillangó in Hungarian. I love both words.
Sommerfugl (bird of summer) in Danish :)
C’est magnifique.
Zangendeutsch: Butterfliege
What is zangendeutsch? Google isn’t giving me much in the way of English answers
Tja
It’s basically an insider from a German meme community here on lemmy. The community is called ich_iel (a translation of me_irl) and people use bad literal translations from English as a joke and call it Zangendeutsch. Butterfliege is a literal translation of butterfly but not the real translation.
I wish I spoke German. That’s exactly my type of humor. Lol
It’s never too late to learn. Just don’t use the ich_iel community as study material or you’ll end up speaking a very strange kind of German.
I mean, it’d have to go better than my attempts at learning Spanish. Lol. 5 new years resolutions in a row!
That’s funny, in Brazilian Portuguese ‘mariposa’ means ‘moth’, and the word for ‘butterfly’ is ‘borboleta’. TDIL.
‘borboleta’
Lol sounds like medieval siege engine name
Still funny since 2010s
Yep, memory leak…
Papalotl in Nahuatl.
Someone once told me to that words for things that are not traded across linguistic borders exhibit more linguistic diversity (as in, neighbouring countries use completely different words that share no common etymological roots etc.). Butterfly is one key example.
Words that start with S are pronounced like Z. R is not a the end, so it is Rrrr, not R. Therefore, the real word is ZCHMETTERRRRRLING.
🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.
“Shmatterling” is the closest sounding english approximation.
Zerschmetterling!
Was hast du hier verloren? Zurück zu ich_iel aber hop hop.
Ei, Ei!
German spy!!
Psst, the Angelsachsen are reading!
Achtung, Feind hört mit
Thanke Zchön, thiß waß inßightvul.
Sch, it starts with sch. You German bad
Basically yes but SCH is like SH. Also ER is often a single vowel somewhere close to U in “but”.
the Germ-ans
Ve vill spread and multiply! No aisle can stop us!
ผีเสื้อ in Thai translate to “shirt ghost” 🤷
