What word is the same in all languages?

There is no one word that is exactly the same in every world language. However, there are a great number of words that are similar in many languages. Banana is an example of a word that is largely the same in many, many languages. (Pineapple is ananas in many languages, but not all). Additionally many slang words are the same in all languages, such as OK, cool and some others. Many new words that are related to science and technology are also very similar in all languages, such as: computer, disc, etc.

Why is translating from one language to another so difficult?

All languages are different, not just in their sound, but in many other ways. Some don't have exact corresponding words that others do. Rules of syntax and structure can vary, so you cannot do a word for word translation. Different words in languages may sound the same or have different meanings, but that is not always the same in every language. Livre in French can mean both pound and book for example. Other languages would have different words that sound the same but have different meanings. So context is important. Other things are important too, like pronunciation. All of these things and others, make translating difficult.

What word is the same in more languages than any other word?

One of the most common words in any language is "no." The only difference is the spelling and the accent you use to say it. In French, "no" is spelt and pronounced as "non," but it is still the same definition and sound. In Spanish, the word "no" is actually spelt and pronouced the same way. It is the same in Italian as well. This is because all of these languages come from the same root language. Just as the Japanese "no" or "iie" is the same as the Korean "no." English, Spanish, and French all root from Latin. I am not sure if this is the most common word, but it is one of the most common.


Why is urine called pee?

Pee is a shortened version of the more vulgar word, piss. Many European languages have equivalent words (pis, plassen, pinkeln, fare pipi, pipi) that mean the same things.

All of these languages also have a more formal word form similar to 'urinate'.

Why does the world speak different languages since you all came from the same mother and father Adam and Eve?

I don't go to church, but I think I heard something about how the humans all tried to build a tower to heaven, and God got mad, so he made them all speak different languages so that they would have to stop. I for one also have a theory that people couldn't agree on one language, so they all moved to different parts of the world, and took their accents and languages with them. These languages would have all developed from the same, original one that Adam and Eve spoke, then evolved into the larger multitude of languages that we speak today. I don't have any proof of this theory, so I would go with the first one. The first theory is in italics.
