    Default Similar sounding words in different languages which have funny meanings in other languages.

    I noticed these funny videos on YT and thought to share them about similar-sounding words in various languages which have quite different and funny meanings in other languages.

    E.g.; In Sweden, the word 'fart' means speed, but has quite a different meaning in English.

    And the word 'gift' has nice connotations in English, yet the same word in German means poison.
