Rather a lot of unnecessary romanisation there.
That’s no peace…it’s a space station.
What do the colours mean?
It’s Swedish for „End war. Peace“
The polish word Pokój also means „room“ like in living room.
I thought ‚mir‘ meant ‚world‘ in russian? Or is it both?
Greek should probably be either „Eirēnē“ if you go by historical spelling or „Irini“ if you go by pronunciation.
„Eirini“ makes no sense since the vowel of the first syllable is pronounced exactly like that of the next two in modern Greek.
Love seeing how one simple word can sound so different across languages. ‘Peace’ really has its own vibe everywhere!
Fred??
Fred 👍
Hehe Fred
Wouldn’t it have been better to put Hungary and the Basque country in the same color?
In Kashubian (minority language in Poland) the world for peace is „mir“ like the slavic languages
# FRED
Russia has a word for peace? Didn’t expect that lol.
IIn Polish, the word “mir” functioned as peace until the turn of the 16th/17th century, when it was replaced b by the word “pokój”. Today, the word „mir“ occurs in this sense occasionally (e.g., in the Polish Penal Code – disruption of „home mir“).
It’s ‘мір’/‘mir’ in Belarusian. ‘Pakoj’ means ‘bedroom’.
Lithuania you always have to be different don’t you
In 🇭🇷 we also have the word “Spokoj” which kinda means inner peace
In Finnish „rauhaa“ is the partitive case. „Rauha“ is just peace.
Shetland and Faroe are missing
„Sith“
In Bulgarian we have the word Pokoi as well but it means something along the lines of tranquility
I find it quite poetic that in Russsian mir means both peace and world; it’s a nice sentiment, if nothing else. I am not certain which other Slavic languages that applies to; in Bulgarian the word means only peace, having largely lost its world meaning
MIR!?
Haha
Mirder
Five Nights at [Norwegian Word for peace]dy’s
Who would win this hypothetical war
So many gems here
Obviously you’ve got Fred in Scandinavia
But also Sith in Gaelic
If you’re Dutch Mir sounds like “meer” which means more and mier means “ant”
Northeast Scotland be like: Peace, for the dark side.
As a wish or greeting to someone, or just the word for peace? In Finnish, there is a difference.
Greeting: rauhaa
Word alone: rauha
This is a nice map
nobody says Frieden in Germany only the catholic church!
English has both a Germanic and Latin word. “Frith” is the Germanic word and its cognates with all the other Germanic languages.
This actually tells you very little about how these words are said.
