I didn't knew that

I didn't know that too. But in my language we only have one word for turtle/tortoise, so we don't make that seperation as far as I know.

^English?

Anonymous #706420 8 months ago

^English is a second language for most people on the internet. In my language we have that distinction. I just don't care enough to write tortoise instead of turtle. If the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are turtles, Tank should be honored being called a turtle.

I was wondering about that.

GeminiSaint #706465 8 months ago

Turtle/Tortoise are both the same word in Spanish. I wonder how the Spanish dub will handle the running gag in that episode.

This is why you don't have a sister, Dash.

@465 I was thinking about that too. Damn, the Spanish dub is going to have a really hard time dubbing more than a half of these episodes.

in german it's just "Schildkröte" for both.

Anonymous #707212 8 months ago

So: Spanish, German, Polish and French have only one name for turtle/tortoise... Niceeee

^^ Almost. There is "Landschildkröte" for land and "Seeschildkröte" or "Wasserschildkröte" for sea/water.

In Polish tortoise/turtle = żółw (yea, three polish letters in four letter word)

Anonymous #709584 7 months ago

all other languages have seperate designations too. Most forgeign people are just too lazy to look it up on wikipedia though.

Well, Portuguese do have different words for turtle and tortoise, "Tartaruga"(turtle) and "Jabuti"(tortoise), but people normally ignore that distinctions and use "tartaruga" for both.
