Måne in Swedish.
And in Danish
And Norwegian
And my Axe!
When are you guys gonna admit it's all just one language?
Danish and Norwegian commonly share text translations on products and instructions
But I have no clue what a dane is saying to me! (Norwegian)
Ost heter det faktiskt
Moon in English.
I’m able to verify it’s moon in English, as well
Yes this checks out
Cheeks out mooning people?
M-O-O-N that spells moon.
I need some more opinions on this one
Hold in hungarian
Hold on...
Funnily enough, holdon means on the moon haha
Hold off…
🌚
HODL
Igen
Maan 🌛 Dutch Language.
Looks like "duude, maan". That fits to the cliché of stoned dutch:)
It’s pronounced maːn, kinda like “mahn” in English.
Maan in Afrikaans, but obviously because of Dutch influence :)
OMG I messed up big time - so sorry - don’t know what I was I thinking, but here is the right translation, even longer lol:
Iehthisotha Asothanekwa Karakwa
Yeh tee suh tah ah suh tah neh kwa ga la kwa “our grandmother, the moon”
iethinistaha tsi ohontsiate- “our mother, the earth
Yeh tee nee stah hah gee oh hoon jaw deh
Mohawk - Iroquois - Six Nations - Haudenesaunee - (First Nation of the Americas)
I really appreciate that you wrote it out phonetically so that we could pronounce it, This is my favourite by far!
Is it always said as the full phrase, or would someone just say “ohontsiate” (assuming the word order is that same in both languages)?
I was not expecting to see Haudenesaunee in this thread! I live on Kanienʼkehá:ka land, but they've all been pushed up to near Canada and over the border. Great to see the six nations languages are being kept alive!
I love that you know the language. If more people knew the languages of our native peoples they wouldn’t be lost. They shouldn’t be lost!
"So there's Cameron's monument, my folks too I guess."
That sounds suspiciously like a Cypher.... Oh wait, code talkers 😁
How amazingly beautiful. I very much long to get in touch with my native roots. It's, imo, one of the most beautiful of all worldwide cultures.
Oh that is beautiful.
Mond in German
Gealach in Irish
'S e 'gealach' a th' ann an Alba cuideachd.
Tá Albain go hálainn!
Tha an ghealach cheunda agaibh is a tha againn.
Haha gu litireil, tha sin ceart, mr/mrs EatingPoop.
Lune in French
And it's feminine, contrary to German.
So, German moon and French moon could potentially get a child?
Luna in Spanish
Also Russian
Also Italian.
Also in Latin
Also in Romanian :D
Also in italian
Lua in Portuguese
Someone made a typo and just went with it.
Kuu in Finnish.
in portuguese this means anus
It actually means ass
Kuu in estonia also
“Pulan” in Chamorro (Indigenous People of Guam and the Northern Marianas)
We say “Bulan” in mountain Philippines
Yah, there are certain words from Malaysia-Indonesia to Philippines that are annunciated/pronounced similarly to Chamorro words.
"pulan / bulan" - those mean a completely different thing in Romanian :):)
It's "bulan" in Malay too SEA fist-bump
月 in Chinese
Look like amongus
Also in Japanese (just pronounced differently: tsuki)
Can you provide the pronunciation?
月(つき) in Japanese
Lua in portuguese
Luna Italian
And Spanish
And Latin
And Bulgarian,in Cyrillic tho
And russian луна
Lună în Romanian
Luna in spanish. I'm from latin america but had a canadian friend born in romania that spoke a some romanian and once she told me "guess what bicicleta means in romanian" so I said "bike?" she was amazed but bike is also "bicicleta" in spanish. Didn't know those two languages were so similar! Honestly would've never guessed that romanian was a latin-derived language.
🇷🇴🇷🇴
Luna in Slovenian.
"Mặt Trăng" in Vietnamese
“Qamar” in Arabic
Qamar in Maltese too (we kept the Arabic root for this one)
Gamra or qamra in morocco
قمر
Interesting, because in Indonesian exists a similar sounding word, "Kamar" which means "room" but i think it usually refers to bedroom.
It gets more interesting. I read earlier that the word "Camera", comes from the Arabic origin "Qomra" which means a dark room. The medieval scientist Ibn al-Haytham is a good reference if you want to look more into it.
Searching today for the etymology of the word "Camera" the website Wiktionary says "Learned borrowing from Latin camera (“chamber or bedchamber”)"
In hindu urdu, probably Arabic as well Kamra means room
Księżyc in Polish
Did poland write their language purely to maximize their scrabble score?
Did poland write their language purely to maximize their scrabble score?
yes, that was the main goal of this language
Check out żółć.
nah… gżegżółka wins
Might not be letter wise, but dżdżownica is a bane of foreigners too
Polish language always seemed to scream „no foreigner will manage to learn me!” 😬
I'm polish and this hurts even me.

Buwan (Tagalog, Philippines) and Bu-lan (Ilocano, a dialect in Northern PH)
Ilocano is a language.
Chaand in Urdu and Chandrama in Hindi
‘Chandran’ in Malayalam
چاند
and that’s how you write it in Urdu
Chondro in Bangla.
Cool words.
Only recently I've noticed how cool Hindu/Urdu words sound to my Brazilian ears. Like, how cool are names like Narendra, Mahavir and Sikandar. It's fairly common for variations of "moon" in Latin ("Luna") to be girl names around here, but "Chandrama" would sound awesome, imo.
Chandani meaning moonlight in Hindustani is, or I should say was, a pretty popular girl's name in India. A famous song of the late 80s from the movie Chandani.
चन्द्रमा 🌝
Ay in Turkish
Ay lmaooo
Ay is used for reaction too. So yes, your usage is true for Turkish 😁
In Kazakh as well
Ay is also month though right?
Yess true
ayo
And a bunch of other Turkic languages.
Месец 🇷🇸 (Mesec)
Měsíc 🇨🇿 (mniesits)
Interesting. In Russian, it’s луна (“luna”) but “month” is месяц (“mesyats”).
Interesting though, "polumesyats" (literally translated as "half-month") in Russian stands for "crescent". So there's clearly some connection between the moon and the month in Slavic languages.
Mesec in Serbian
Mah - Persian
Feggari (Φεγγάρι) Greek
I thought it was Selini?
Βοth correct, the most common word for it though is Feggari.
Selini is translated as "Lunar" , so it is a bit more scientific.

What's Sun in Tamil?
Sooriyan
So like சூரியன்
Eventhough Nila is the most commonly used word. It is fascinating that Tamil has so many words for it.
- Nila (நிலா)
- Nilavu (நிலவு)
- Chandhiran (சந்திரன்)
- Madhi (மதி)
- Thingal (திங்கள்)
- Ambuli (அம்புலி)
I am sure some of these are loan words. But still, pretty impressive.
Isn't 'nila' moonlight? It is so in Malayalam (നിലാവ് / nilaav). Moon is ചന്ദ്രൻ (chandhran). തിങ്കൾ (thingal) ആൻഡ് അമ്പിളി (Ambili) also works, thingal being the least used outside of poems/songs.
Moonlight is Nilavoli (நிலவொளி) . Which is just Nilavu + Oli (light) . And yeah Thingal is also rarely used outside poems/songs in tamil. Maybe because of the fact that Thingal itself can mean many things. Thingal can mean monday (Which is literally Thingal + Kizhamai = Moonday/Monday) , Thingal can also mean a month.
Moon.
