What's afaiu? Nebunie was my 2nd choice, but Nebun is even better because it's shorter.
Or even Nebu which has to do with clouds and fog in Latin. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

"Nebun" sounds fine to me (although I still prefer "prieteni").
I'm just wondering - what does "nebu" actually mean? In Latin there is the word "nebula" (cloud) but "nebu" isn't a word on its own. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There's nebü in Polabian, hehe.
afaiu=as far as i understand :) OK I now created a new poll. please don't pick choices that contradict each other:D if you have a preference for one of the options, please leave others blank (or choose "i hope it won't be" if you actively dislike them). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How about the Polish kolega ? It's like the French collègue, though the meanings don't quite match. We could cheat and go for a word that means multiple things in different languages. E.g.
Mar (Portuguese\Spanish) - Sea Mar (Italian) - Tuesday Mar (Polish\French\Romanian) - March On the Michel Thomas Russian course they mention the origins of Bistro, and say it's probably just a folk story. I then read it wasn't in a cooking article. The French wikipedia article shows a picture of a plaque that propogates the common story.

I've started my new TAC log, you can read it here.
I hadn't thought about mar, I like it. I had already voted in the latest poll for Team Nebun, but I would also be fine with Team Mar. Edited by mick33 on 18 December 2012 at 11:31am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

the English wiktionary says it's folk etymology:P
and there are tons of words borrowed from French into Slavic languages, but they tend to be present in 3457643 unrelated languages :/ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I like Team Mar, although it doesn't mean "March" in Polish - March is "marzec". But I like the sea, so I think
Mar is a good option! 2 persons have voted this message useful |
