Miezekatze (german) vs 猫 (chinese)
info and propawganda under the cut!
Miezekatze /ˈmiːt͡səˌkat͡sə/
it literally comes from the german equivalent of pspsps. the thing you say to get a cat's attention. also the word is just very fun to say
猫 (māo) /mɑu̯˥/
It sounds like Meow! Also, Cantonese is a really cool language (that I can definitely not pronounce sadly)
Little ears and a tail 🥺
sounds like meow
BRO ITSLITERALLY THE CAT SOUND IRS LITERLALY WHEN A CAT GOES "MOW" ANNSJSYSSHSHSHH
Because it sounds like a cat <3
It sounds like the sound cats make.
māo sounds like the sound a cat makes
this word reads as "māo".
real pokemon moment. we chinese really saw a cat, asked it what it wanted to be named as, and then called it that. we even kept the same intonation (the dash over the a) to ensure that everyone else who knew chinese would talk to the cat in the exact same way the cat called to us.
it's got 3 radicals; the left (犭) for quadruped animal, the cap (艹) for grass, and the base (田) for field, like rice fields. that's basically the whole backstory of how we saw and met the cat. the kitty really was just coming in from the grass on his 4 lil paws to our field and introduced themselves as mao. ily cat
if you read the cap and base section only it looks like a cat's face and ears.
every time you want to write the word cat you have to draw them!!! wont you think of a lil babey kitty while drawing them? isn't it beautiful how every time we wanted to write cat in chinese we took the time to depict a cat? decided everyone should know how or what a cat looks like and devoted our time of remembrance to just a leetol creeture?
because it's literally onomatopoeic. the cat is named after the sound it makes (which is so cute)
simple, cute, direct, just like cat
It sounds like a cat sound, and also just really nice. If you interpret the radicals in the unintended way I'm deciding to, the leftmost bit of the character could look like a cat scratching their back on a fencepost behind them, or something. Overall, it is a very cat word
it sounds like cat sounds (cute) and its easy for me to remember as a chinese novice bc it has the same radical as dog and is easy to draw
sounds like the noise cats make. cute
猫 as a character is peak cat! It's been a while since I've been in Chinese school, so bear with me, but the left side uses the claw symbol, which shows it's an animal, and the right side (苗, pronounced miáo) helps explain its pronunciation. 苗 specifically means something along the lines of seedling/young/descendant and isn't really depictive of what it means, but when I was younger, I thought it looked a little like a cat with little ears and whiskers as well. (Chinese cats say "喵" (miāo) which ties back to the 苗 symbol as well!) Also, 猫 "māo" is kind of pronounced like a meow, which I think should give it bonus points. Overall, 猫 is the peak word for cat! :3
you cannot tell me they are not the perfect word for a kitty cat. they came up to us and introduced themselves, so we decided to call them by the name they call themselves, and in mandarin, we call them "little māo" because they are our little meow meows!! they are our babies!! also chinese is Ancient. our writing system goes back like 4000 years!! and we are still using it! i admit we probably weren't calling them 貓 for all these 4000 years but respect your elders! /lh

Tatort Stuttgart: Die Nacht der Kommissare
Booty war beim Friseur, welch Freude
Kommt in de beschte Familien vor, dass man n Mord nicht aufklärt?
Hatte irgendein Tatort Kommissar JEMALS einen Durchsuchungsbeschluss, wenn einer nötig war?
From "Ich liebe dich" to "Wenn du mein Auto kaputt machst, knall ich dich ab" in less than 10 seconds
Willst du mein Spätzle sein? <3
"DA ISCH DIE MUDDA!"
A Lannert has hit your Windschutzscheibe
"Sind Sie auch bsoffen Bootz?" "Ja das wär ich gerne."
"HEINZ FAHR DEI SCHUBLÄDLE RAUS"
"Hab ich dir schon gesagt, dass ich dich liebe?" "Heut no ned."
HÄTT DIE DEN EISKALT ABGEKNALLT JAHAHAHA
Wer hat dieses Drehbuch geschrieben......
"Ich hoffe sehr, sie sterben innerhalb der nächste halbe Stunde an Lungekrebs, dann kann ich endlich schlafe gehn."
PAHAHAHA SCHLÄGT DER DEN NIEDER
"Und du fangst s Putzen an..." "Des ghört sich so!!!"
Tiger???
Keine Eier, aber dafür ne höhere Lebenserwartung
As much for höhere Lebenserwartung
Er ist "Arzt" (side eye)
Booty for Tigerfutter
Miezekatze :D
Tatort war so wild, dass der Fernseher abgeschmiert ist
Sogar den Penis, ja das lohnt sich natürlich
"Der tut nix."

Miezekatze 🐾
The funny thing is I actually like Diona. I thought she would be very annoying but she is fun to play and I think it's an interesting take that she hates alcoholics.
Do you enjoy a good drink or are you also not fond of alcohol? I never drink it except for special occasions or if I celebrate with friends. How about you?
