minus-square@unhook2048linkEnglish7•1 year agoMy last one was a bit confusing. Here’s one the word Helicopter is not as you’d think. Heli-copter. The word is Helico, to mean spinning and pter, as in feather, like pterodactyl so the pronounciation is helico-ter. P.S. I’m so sorry.

My last one was a bit confusing. Here’s one
the word Helicopter is not as you’d think. Heli-copter.
The word is Helico, to mean spinning
and pter, as in feather, like pterodactyl
so the pronounciation is helico-ter.
P.S. I’m so sorry.
I’m Ojibway-Cree and I speak my language
Helicopter in my language is …
KAH-KEE-NAH-KWA-NAS-KAH-PAH-NIK
The literal translation is ‘the thing that turns’
The other word that many older people used is …
CHEE-KAH-NAH-MOO-SHEESH
it’s the word in our language for ‘Dragonfly’
