@cassolotl Someone just reminded me that French has two distinct words for « Finnish ». Thought you’d like that information.

@PierreM @Shalena French and English are both littered with words that serve multiple purposes! :P

@cassolotl @PierreM And not the same, too!
You have ape/monkey, we have rivière/fleuve

@Shalena @PierreM

Rivière = tributary, fleuve = river ?

@PierreM @Shalena There's something about butterflies and moths too, I remember being very confused when me and @Andrea had a conversation about that!

@cassolotl @PierreM @Andrea
OH YES
Literally, butterfly = papillon and moth = mite
Except English moth is actually « broader » and includes what we call « papillon de nuit » (night butterfly)
