So, after yesterday's strip, lots of people wanted another example with more comparisons. We were happy to oblige .
Now, mind you, we're not trying to make fun of this and we know that Japanese or Chinese or Russian Cyrillic words also don't compare just like German doesn't.
But still we took the word "velocity" and will show you how it is spelled and sounds in 8 different languages, including the English word velocity as the first of those eight.
velocita-Italian, velocidad-Spanish, velocity-Dutch, velocitatem-Latin, velocity-Zulu, velocitat-Catalan
And in German it's geschwindigkeit
Wir werden es nicht wieder tun, wir versprechen.
