  • I remember the Czech word Pozor. It means “Attention” and is seen everywhere on all sorts of signage.

    In Russian, however (and possibly other slavic languages), it means shame/disgrace.

    I’m sure there were jokes about it when Russians were the invaders, but can’t remember any.


    Then there’s Finnish/Estonian

    Finnish Estonian
    Hallitus Government Mold
    Maasika Earth-pig (not a thing) Strawberry
    Maasikapirukas Earth-pig devil Strawberry cake
    Piim(ä) Buttermilk/sourmilk Milk
    Kalju Bald Rock

    But my favorite is “nahkhiir”, which means leather (nahk[a]) mouse (hiir[i]), i.e. a bat. (in Finnish it would be nahkahiiri, but bats are called lepakko)
    Batman is consequently called Nahkhiirmees in Estonian, i.e. Leathermouseman.
