What is “cheese” called in your language?
(lemmy.world)
Cheese.
No way! It's called cheese in my language too. crazy.
Käse (Germany)
Käse (Germany)
I wonder what it's called in Austria
Probably something like topfenschnarkel.
Depending on where in Austria:
Kas, Käs or Kaas
Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")
Omelette du fromage.
The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.
It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.
That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese
These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?
ngl it's about half and half whenever I make one. 🖐️🫣
Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.
Damn it, Dee Dee!
Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.
Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be "omelette de fromage"
Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)
J'ai voulu vérifier l'orthographe, et autant c'est bon, autant a priori c'est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d'après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l'utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y'a peut-être des puristes de l'argot qui m'y reprendraient.
Ost - Norwegian
"Too expensive."
Queso - Spanish
Cheese - English
Fromage
Sir ( Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian )

(Actually I'm English so that's not my language, I just happened to know that one in Welsh)
That sounds like the Dutch word for cheese, "kaas". Only where you have a stumped /au̯ / sound, we have a long /a:/ sound.
