Do you know how to say dog in another language? In Latin, it's Canis.

@CrazyMusicLover That’s wild. It’s hund in Norwegian too. I know they both have the same root language but they have deviated a lot from there, so that’s cool.

@DarkHeaven I checked now, it's the same in most Germanic languages.

I couldn't remember Polish word. Now I remembered it's [i]pies[/i]. 😁
@CrazyMusicLover That’s super cool.

@DarkHeaven Much cooler than having words that sound the same but have opposite meaning in different languages of the same family. 😅 That's common among Slavic languages.
