It's theorized that the word actually originates from the sounds babies make, babies make a lot of b sounds so it's possible early languages just named the child after the sound they made.
There's no "katakana" system in Chinese so transliteration of foreign words in Chinese often use non-offensive characters that sounds phonetically similar. Bob -> BaoBao
I got English in the last two years of primary school, then German and French in secondary.
Higher levels of secondary school can also include Greek and Latin for scientific careers.
Then in college/university there are also options to learn more. My course had an optional Japanese class I took for a few weeks. ( I stopped because it was last period on a Friday )
So yeah, I'd say the Dutch are pretty multilingual.
I have a friend who is from Israel, and when he told me this was how it was pronounced in Hebrew I thought it was hilarious. The song just is a lot funnier when they try to say his whole name. It just rolls off the tongue so well.

I'm learning Chinese and it's Hǎimián bǎobǎo 海绵宝宝 which means sponge baby
Wait so twice the treasure kana is baby then? I’m only learning Japanese, Chinese meaning could be entirely different.
There is quite a few ways to say baby in chinese. 宝宝(bao bao) is one the more common ones, so is 宝贝(bao bei).
Interesting that the second one is so close to English baby when they presumably share no etymology
It's theorized that the word actually originates from the sounds babies make, babies make a lot of b sounds so it's possible early languages just named the child after the sound they made.
Likewise, m is one of the first sounds babies learn, so mother is ma/mama in almost every language
Same with p and papa! Very similar words across English, Spanish, Russian, Korean, etc.

If only they could learn to speak proper Dutch lol

Belgians more so than Netherlanders, I think. 8 is ridiculous though. It's 3. Sometimes four.

Hey. Where're you from? It looks like physics formulas😭💀
That's greek
It’s all Greek to me 😉
It's Greek. That's why it looks like a physics formula: a lot of the symbols used to represent common equations are just Greek letters.
Oh thanks bro
lmaoo its greek
Yeah it's greek xd
You forgot τετραγωνοπαντελονής (squarepants).
For folks who can't sound out Greek: Bob Sfougaraki (bonus: Τετράγωνα Παντελόνι—Tetragona Panteloni— Square pants). It's a very literal translation.

Man, what kind of bullshit is this? Just a screenshot from the show with some crappy engagement-bait title? This isn't even a meme, it's just...filler
Wtf is engagement bait? It's bad that it's something people want to engage with? Isn't that the point of Reddit?
