It's ridiculous how the word for today and tomorrow is the exact same thing in Hindi
I don't get how a language that has more than seventy synonyms for the moon can struggle with making up separate words for 'today' and 'tomorrow'

it's the same for the 'day before yesterday' and the 'day after tomorrow'- परसों
i've mixed up the timings of so many events because of this
the only way you can tell which one is being used is by checking the context and tense of the sentence
and no i'm not kidding about the 70+ synonyms for moon i actually looked it up

Turkey
So, I noticed a little translation thingy with the word for Turkey in German:
Well, that middle word might seem familiar! The word "Pute" is really similar to alot of "fun" words in other languages. Either spelled or sounds similar.
Even similar to, but not completely as close to
Which brings us to This!
Disclaimer: I'm in no way an expert, but I am just a simple Goof who noticed a mildly funny thingy!

Honestly I am just so amused with this little language factoid. If anyone has any more information on the subject don't be afraid to speak
up. If I got anything wrong please tell me. Also this is just meant to be a fun observation!
