  • I thought I had posted this one already:
    * Danganronpa 3
    * Danganronpa V3

    So, Lost Caverns of Ixalan, in which we go back to the world of not-Aztecs, not-conquistadores*, not-Caribbean yes-pirates, the occasional dinosaur and whatever pre-Columbian culture the Merfolk are supposed to represent. Also the clothes of the underground dudes remind me of Incan clothing, so there's that.

    * Translator's note: conquistador means conqueror

    * conqueror
    * conquistador

    I get the notion that outside of Spanish (obviously) the name stuck as a specific subset of conqueror where instead of generic conquering you're wearing a morion helmet and are restricted to conquering people with a specific theme, not that I want to start a quarrel over it.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    i misread that as "moron helmet"
  • ^^ It's that thing in English (and some other languages maybe?) where the normal word for X in the language of place Y is taken to mean "X, but it's from Y", like how "sombrero" means the Mexican hat or "anime" means Japanese animation. I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow I learn that "hussar" is the normal Polish word for cavalry.

    It's not, but it's reasonably close to Serbian for "brigand" or something like that.

    Also, for what it's worth I was once surprised to discover the Polish word for cap (as in, you wear it on your head but it's not a hat) means a specific Napoleonic-era military headgear in the wider world. Which in turn is called in Polish by what seems to be the French mangled mispronounciation of the word.
  • (and some other languages maybe?)
    Conversation is related to Spanish
    "anime" means Japanese animation
    Well, that's an obvious example.
    Spanish also has "zar" meaning "tzar" meaning "caesar, but from Russia", and "sultan" too, but otherwise I feel it's done much less than in English.
    Half example: shiba inu.

    You remind me there's a breed of dog we call "dog". I guess it's because it's an English breed.
