So in Fr*nce, ChatGPT is CatGPT?
yes, also this comment reminded me of
It’s spelled the same way but not pronounced the same way. Chat - the animal - is pronounced “sha” and Chat - the dialogue - is pronounced the english way (tchat). It’s been used to refer to internet chat rooms since the 90s, the same way that a lot of english linguo is commonly used here to refer to web-related concepts
Edit: the GPT part however, is indeed very funny
There can’t be any reasonable reason why you censored the word France.
Yeah it should be Fr🤮nce instead. (I know it as a meme from the good old r/2westerneurope4you on r🤮ddit, if anyone knows a lemmy alternative plz let me know, i miss the memes)
Edit: My bad, r🤮ddit needed to be censored as well
You mean r*ddit or rather r🤮ddit. We don’t talk about The Other Side in that way here.
related fact: in french, meow is spelled miaou
That is literally the only French word where spelling makes sense
In mandarin cat is māo 猫。
Where tf is Lithuania?
Cat in Bulgarian (котка, pronounced kotka) means eagle in Finnish.
In Esperanto it’s “Kato”
💚 kato
Where is my STARDENBURDENHARDENBART?
I know I am way late to this, but wtf is the rule thing? Missed it in the beginning and now every post uses it.
the “rule” keyword in post titles refers to the main rule of c/196 (carried from r/196), that you must post before you leave
The German Katze is the basis for the name of Gattsu from Berserk
huh, this really shows how languages in europe are generally closely related
Even Finnish and Hungarian aren’t that weird in this one
In this case, that’s because both languages borrowed their words for cat. Finnish “kissa,” according to wiktionary, comes from Swedish “kissa/kisse” (a more colloquial synonym of “katt”), and Hungarian “macska” is a Slavic loan word of unknown origin :3
I’d love to know what these languages original / native terms for cat were, if they had any.
Is it Chatz in Schweizerdeutsch?
