minus-squareCapricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·8 months agoHave you heard of grue? In any case, the same applies to animals. They may not be linguistucally differentiated in the same way across language boundaries.
minus-squarerandint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoI’m a native speaker of Mandarin (Chinese), where there’s no rat/mouse distinction either. I know that in English they’re different so I do say rat for big ones and mouse for small ones in English, but otherwise they’re basically the same to me.
minus-squareKSP Atlas@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoThe japanese simply don’t make that distinction and it’s not a problem for them Plenty of languages (including my Polish) don’t make a distinction between town and city, and they don’t have problems

minus-squareKSP Atlas@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoMice and rats are both generic names for multiple species

minus-squarefading_person@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoWait, aren’t town and city the same thing?
minus-squareSabinStargem@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoI think cities are bigger. Hamlet -> Village -> Town -> City -> Metropolis, or something along those lines.
