Tfw my language is primitive

Don't 'vedati' means to know? Med-ved' - know where honey is

It can be counterintuitive to learners though, because you expect a proper word as opposed to a literal equivallent.

That's pretty cool though, nothing primitive about it. Borrowing random Latin words is far more primitive.

I am a bit dumb so I messed up my post. It actually seems you are kinda right, but it seems both can be considered correct.

Definition of folk etymology - Folk etymology or reanalysis – sometimes called pseudo-etymology, popular etymology, or analogical reformation – is a change in a word or phrase resulting from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more familiar one. The form or the meaning of an archaic, foreign, or otherwise unfamiliar word is reanalyzed as resembling more familiar words or morphemes.

In russian it's 'božja korovka' which means god's little cow

cuck

Does that come from some ancient European folklore about ladybugs?

No that's a honey eater. Meдoeд (ratel). More literaly honey eater than мeдвeдь (bear)

Do you unironically prefer 'deep' etymology? Only languages completely fucked by loanwords have this.

Let's take 'electricity' whose root comes from the Greek word for amber because in antiquity the Greeks observed amber's property of displaying static charge under friction. Pretty nice story but not at all obvious which makes studying vocabulary difficult. It's way easier if etymology is more obvious.

What do you call a rhinoceros?

These little cuties were probably associated with good harvests as they eat pests. I believe the name originated from some poet.

I wish I had saved that image with Finnish words translated into literal English that somebody posted here.

I wish we came up with words like some of you do instead of just ripping off English.

Absolute grug tier

The Finnish version is both smarter and more coherent than the Anglo mumbojumbo

Literally all indoeuropean languages are the same

The actual indoeuropean word for bear was considered bad luck to say so they used other meanings "honey eater", "loud roar",e.tc

Dust sucker (vacuum) is in my language too.

interesting. In Finnish uiskentelu means swimming around. This is just a coincidence though since Hungarian úszik shows the word is Uralic for us and not an IE loan.

Days of the week are pretty grug-tier in Slavic languages
Sunday - nedelja - no work
Monday - ponedeljek - after no work
Wednesday - sreda - the middle
Thursday - četrtek - fourth one
Friday - petek - fifth one
Not sure about the meanings of saturday and tuesday

How do you write anything poetic or metaphorical in Finnish?

You don't. The Wikipedia article for Finnish poetry is empty.

Finnish is the best language for metaphorical epic poetry

same in here "kulkas", means cool case.

Is that because of the dutch word koelkast?

Deep etymology is a sighn the ethnicity has been in civilization for a long time.

Shallow entomology is proof of recent tribalness. Thais only found civilization less than 1000 years ago when we came down from the mountains of china

It is. What is peculiar is that it kas = case instead of closet.

>dragon

Nosorožec - Nose + Horn

Finnish mythology didn't have dragons but sea monsters and such. lohikäärme=floghdraki=fly dragon.

in Russian, Tuesday is just "the second" (втopник), Saturday is sabbath (cyббoтa).

Finnish is actually very close being the most sophisticated language in the world. Some really rare language can top even that, but none of the current big languages, which all are pure ooga-booga.

I'm kind of grateful that our words are mostly loanwords and use Latin script. I can't imagine how hard it is to write using javanese/local script.

That is insane. How does Dutch sound to you?

I love german "hand shoe" "armor toad"

You can actually create new words on the fly and rip apart old ones adding them together to make oc words. If done right everyone understands the new word immediately. Also with one of the largest vocabularies in the world it's possible to get any shade you desire in your sentences instead of sounding bland.
