Body Parts | ROMANCE Languages COMPARISON 

Since Romanian didn't historically have romance-speaking neighbours, I guess that the words which were not lost entirely were kept in quite a ”pure” form.

yes, it is very easy for Romanians to learn Italian

Back= spate / but also spinare (schinare in moldavian spell)

@@danielracovitan9779 but it´s not so easy for Italians to learn Romanian.

In paraguayan guarani: Head - akã Face - tova Eye - tesa, sa Nose - Tĩ Mouth - juru Ear - nambi Hand - po Arm - jyva Leg - Tetyma Knee- Tenypy'ã Finger- Kuã Toe - Pysã (foot thread) Back - Atukupe (Short back(?) Neck - Ajúra Shoulder - Ati'y Elbow - Jyvanga ( An old way of saying "arm bone") Palm - Popyte (Center of the hand)

In portuguese the word "face" is often used to mention just one side of the face. So it can be said, for instance, "he hit me on the left face".

@@ruibelo-cv3co yeah, but we can also say: face a face. Which means simply face to face. We have a more popular version to that which is cara a cara. But yeah, it also means half of your face from time to time: "turn the other cheek": dar a outra face. His cheeks were red, suas faces estavam rosadas. However, the idea of face a face, face to face, implies the entirity of the face. The rosto or cara, so to say

Actually Latin "oculus" also became "olho". We have two different words from the same Latin cognate, one through a popular route (oculus > oculu > oclu > olho) and an other one that was introduced much later on and it's way more similar to Latin (oculus > óculo).

@@diogorodrigues747 cool. Just like we have the word Pleno (full) twice. The word Plenus became, with time going by, Cheio. Pl suffered what linguists call palatalização and became ch, then the N dropped and it became Cheo, and with time passing by, cheio. Then with Renaissance, greek-roman culture was reborn in the western word, and these words which had been widely corrupted, were readded into the language by writters as a means to provide texts with "greek-roman elegance". Thus we ended up having cheio (full), and pleno which can sometimes be full, and sometimes be full-blown.

​@@Thiagolina Eu sou brasileiro e sempre houvi "pleno" sendo usado para se referir a algo sereno

Sometimes faciès is also used

@@user-aero68 In Spanish we also have "faz", but it is used more for things

Viva il Popolo Arumeno

@@paolorossi9180 La ringrazio

basically a Romanian dialect

@@danielracovitan9779 Another Romanian propagandist. WE DON'T need your lack of studies. We're an ethnic group, older than Romanians 😚

👏👏👏

cool, some of them are really similar to portuguese, like braç (braço), jolh (joelho), oeilh (olho) and boca (boca) :)

@@paulovictormarchidacruz4062 Yes. It’s pretty counter intuitive but written Portuguese looks closer to Gascon than Castillan.

Head: Capeza/Testa/Toza Eye: Uello Nose: Naso Mouth: Boca Ear: Orella Hand: Man Arm: Brazo Leg: Garra Knee: Chenullo/Rodeta Finger: Dido Back: Espalda Neck: Cuello Chest: Peito Hair: Pelo Shoulder: Uembro Elbow: Ancón Palm: Palma Kinda interesting how you call a leg "cama" i havent seen any romance language that does that, but then again in Aragonese it's garra which also means "nothing" but in Spanish it means claw

​@@RogerRabbit-hd1hh the portuguese ortography borrowed some things from old Occitan ortography. Maybe that's why.

pescuezo y tiesto o testarudo/cabezota

Perhaps but I have never ever ever heard any Spanish speaker use facie. It's almost always cara and rarely rostro.

Aragonese: Head: Capeza/Testa/Toza - IPA: ka'peθa/'testa/'toθa Eye: Uello - IPA: 'ɣweʎo Nose: Naso - IPA: 'naso Mouth: Boca - IPA: 'boka Ear: Orella - IPA: o'reʎa Hand: Man - IPA: man Arm: Brazo - IPA: 'braθo Leg: Garra - IPA: 'gara Knee: Chenullo/Rodeta - IPA: t͡ʃe'nuʎo/ro'ðeta Finger: Dido - IPA: 'Diðo Back: Espalda - IPA: es'palda Neck: Cuello - IPA: 'kweʎo Chest: Peito - IPA: 'peito Hair: Pelo - IPA: 'pelo Shoulder: Uembro - IPA: 'ɣwembɾo Elbow: Ancón - IPA: an'kon Palm: Palma - IPA: 'palma

No, "spalle" equivale esclusivamente a "shoulders". Però per quanto riguarda "mouth" e "ear" utilizziamo anche dei termini più tecnici e specifici come "cavità orale e "padiglione auricolare" che conservano in buona parte l'etimologia latina.

and Romanian "picior" is a congate to French "pie" and Spanish "pierna"

​@@danielracovitan9779pied

I read it’s because modern French is the successor of old French that was spoken in the northern part of today’s France, which had a lot of Celtic and Germanic influence. In the southern parts they spoke Occitan which was much closer to Spanish and Italian. When the political influence of Paris grew, naturally so did the importance of old French, which eventually overtook all of France, while Occitan disappeared slowly.

@@tomeekun it is also because the French politics tried to suppress these languages. One example relatively recent is what happened in Nice after it was sold from Italy to France

In italian "tergo" like back is not used, a synonym of back is "dorso"
