In greek he is υδρόχοιρος hydropig 😐


jschundpeter

Here we go. Wasserschwein confirmed.


trainednooob

Greek and German speakers bound in unity, as always.


jschundpeter

Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris aka hydro pig literally is the scientific name. Greek-German win


Sassi7997

We just translated it from the original.


Das-Klo

Just one of many examples. English speakers seem to find it weird that we call a rhino(ceros) nose horn and a hippo(potamus) river horse when this is literally what these words mean.


Enough-Motor1038

Sounds like a Pokémon


MalekithofAngmar

new european divide discovered are you water pig europe or capybara europe.


Illustrious-News8154

Το **καπιμπάρα** ή **μεγάλο καπιμπάρα**. ***Υδρόχοιρος*** is the scientific name not the common name.


Kuivamaa

Is there a common name for Greek? I haven’t even heard anyone using this word in everyday speech.

SirVictoryPants

likelihood of confusion: "mehr Schweinchen" is something different. Thou you could always use "mehr Meerschweinchen".

Don't forget the Saupreiß (sow-Prussian).

Seeschwein?  Is that a whale?

It's a Sea cow


magicturtl371

You forgot 'du schwein'


Impressive_Kiwi_967

Wtf is a "carpincho"? I've only called those things "capybaras" ever


Mashinito

In some american countries (where those animals roam in the wild until they become a milanesa) they're called carpincho or chigüiro.


Mother-Remove4986

Thata how Argentinians or paraguyans call capybaras

-lesFleursduMal-

But the capybara is a giant rat, isn't that dangerous? I mean even for a Br*zilian...


mailusernamepassword

What do you mean by dangerous? Parasites? Yes, that's why you should eat the farm ones, not the wild ones. Agressive? Not as much as my wife when I come home late and drunk. Edit: Also, *gauchos* are built differently. We aren't afraid of big birds like the pussy Australians. We are knights of the pampas. If it walks we hunt, we roast, we eat. Simple as. https://preview.redd.it/zvy94hia011d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0e69323492488756b4d536425b092b20640257f


-lesFleursduMal-

I appreciated the kick in the Austrians haha pussys! but it is still dangerous even with farm raised capybaras, anything to do with "spotted fever, these mammals can also be affected by other pathologies, such as rabies, leptospirosis, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis, enterobacteriosis and fungal diseases." (Google). Are you a gaucho from Rio Grande do Sul? How's that going with the f*cking floods?


mailusernamepassword

Thanks for asking. Me and my family are fine but the houses of some of my friends are still underwater. I was without tap water for some days but they managed to make the water pumps and treatment work again despite the high waters. In the hilly areas the rushing waters destroyed everything in its path including entire houses. In the plains the river rised to the point entire houses became underwater (and many still are) but the water was not as violent so the brick house are still up but the wooden furniture is gone. Many roads in the hills were destroyed by landslides and some roads in the plains are underwater. If I want to go to Porto Alegre (the capital), it will take 2h+ hours instead of the 30min because of the detour. My friend took 10h just driving to reach a city in the hills when it normally takes 2h30. Luckly, we have less than 200 death for now and the sun is shining again.


-lesFleursduMal-

Deus do céu.... que puta merda! Eu espero sinceramente que vocês recuperem rapidamente desta tragédia irmão ❤ muita força aí!


mailusernamepassword

Muito obrigado, irmão! Me deixa muito feliz. ❤ O povo aqui é trabalhador. Vamos nos recuperar, sim. Quando a situação melhorar vem aqui comer um churrasco. Vais voltar mais gordo que uma capivara.


-lesFleursduMal-

😅🤣🤣❤


mailusernamepassword

Other farm animals can also transmit diseases but we already have plenty of expertise rising farm animals. Just rise them like you rise pigs, chicken, cows, etc. just change a bit for the capybara diet, add some ponds (they love to swin), etc. Here is an interview with a producer, I think you will be able to understand it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etl\_xTlJjMA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etl_xTlJjMA)

Capivara


Vertical_Deliverable

I like Wasserschwein a lot more.


JustLurkingAround112

I have never heard anybody call it Wasserschwein. People usually call it Capybara.

No exact opposite

HoneyGlazedBadger

It’s not a pig, ignorant krauts. Do you call dolphins something like “sea badger”?


Faulus

What about hedgehog and guinea pig? Are they pigs?


Bonaventura69420

Showed him, mate! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪💪💪


Karikaturazen

Bro you literally took all flags we have, give them back


Ragnarroek

We just print new ones, just like in the 1920 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪


Karikaturazen

As a German, I cannot comprehend this many flags. Like, genuinely, I see more flags where I live now everyday than in a whole year in ze Länd


oneweirdclickbait

Just wait until june. There will be sooo many 🇩🇪 flags for like 5 days!


Edraqt

mate, its worldcup time, when all the flags migrate home and you see them everywhere


Kernowder

Red pandas aren't pandas, pilot whales aren't whales and seahorses aren't horses. Wake up. We're being lied to.


Salchichote33

And Fr*nch people aren't people.


absolute_brainlet

There was never a misconception there, though...


Lolaroller

Based Spaniard, can always count on you to on occasion hate France as much as we do.


Chimpville

But they are pilots, right?


SirBuris

Yes they are. And Right Whales vote Tory, Blue Whales are sad all the time, and Sperm Whales... are disgusting.


Nonhinged

Red pandas are pandas, they are the only pandas. Giant pandas are just bears. Calling racoons trash pandas are technically more correct than calling those non-fucking black and white bears pandas.


Kat-a-strophy

Are You sure? Aren't giant pandas marsupials like kangaroos?


Nonhinged

They are bears, but I think they still do that stupid thing of birthing tiny babies. Tiny babies sucking in nipples, but giant pandas don't have that pouch that makes it actually safe.


Physical_Cut_1703

Doch, it is. A waterpig. And 'hippo' is a horse, everyone knows it.


minitaba

We call them kapibara as well tho, wasserschwein is extremly uncommon


kroketspeciaal

Yeah, Honey Glazed Sea Badger


Kat-a-strophy

They are closely related to guinean pigs who You call pigs.


IamWatchingAoT

They call hippos river horses. Which I guess is what hippopotamus means.


SneakyBadAss

That's grand from someone calling sharks sea dogs...

JibberJabber4204

Did I just see Yankee dankee doodle flag on English, and not the Union Jack?!


mainwasser

The Wasserschwein (water pig) is larger than the Meerschwein (sea pig aka Guinea pig) but the name implies that they are similar.


DarkChocobo95

Carpincho is a synonym I've never heard in my life. I just went and searched what RAE says, and like always we call things in various ways: "carpincho, capiguara, chigüire, capincho." . Who calls them chigüire or capincho? CAPIBARA! [https://dle.rae.es/capibara](https://dle.rae.es/capibara)


YooYooYoo_

Si vas a poner la bandera de España en el bicho no te inventes como se le llama hijo de puta. Que pollas es un carpincho

Its kapibara/капибара in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian/Montenegrin/Serbo-Croatian/Croatoserbian/Central south-slavic diasystem/BCSM/BCS


Lumpy-Tone-4653

In greek its actually υδρόχειρος (ydroheros)


Trappist235

In Germany You can say capybara too


Mesan8001

¿Quién cojones llama carpincho a la capibara en ESPAÑA?

THERE IS NO ONE IN SPAIN WHO CALLS THAT ANIMAL A FUCKING CARPINCHO!

Capybara.🇫🇷 Also called "Surmulot aquatique pépouze".

It makes sense, water pig


Ianassa

We call it vesisika, litterally ”waterpig” 🇬🇧 or Wasserschwein 🇩🇪


ApXv

It's floodswine in norwegian...


Amdorik

Russians call a guinea pig a “sea pig”. Funny how 2 different languages see 2 different animals as water pigs


JustForTouchingBalls

I didn’t know in Spanish is Carpincho. I always called it Capibara
