A_Perez2 on 20.07.2026 7:51 p.m. „Coso“ in spanish? Never „El coso“ is primarily a bullring. „cosa, chisme, trasto, cachivache, cacharro, …“
Eproxeri on 20.07.2026 7:52 p.m. Like Estonian „asi“, Finnish also has „asia“. Both „juttu“ and „asia“ means thing.
LittleAoibh11 on 20.07.2026 7:54 p.m. We probably say „yoke“ more in Ireland. „Pass me that yoke“, for example.
kubwlo on 20.07.2026 8:01 p.m. Polish wihajster comes I think from German „wie heißt er“ or at least I imagine that
SoSmartKappa on 20.07.2026 8:04 p.m. I dont know who or what AI have translated it to Czech, but surely „toto“ does not feel like the correct translation at all. It would be something like „Tentononc“, „cosi“, „tahle věcička“ „Toto“ is just „this one“, you dont use it in the same way as „thingy“
Rochmu on 20.07.2026 8:06 p.m. Lithuanian is incorrect. It doesn’t make any sense. A more correct thing would be „daikčiukas“

Paxxlee on 20.07.2026 8:13 p.m. While ‚grej‘ isn’t „wrong“, that is basically just swedish for ‚thing‘. „Mojäng‘ is a better swedish word for ‚thingy‘.
Math082r on 20.07.2026 8:34 p.m. Other synonyms that also are used in danish (and are included in the dictionary) are: dings dippedut Duppedit dimsedut dut Snurrepiberi Fidus Dingenot Tingest Nips
