CHEESE!
(I’m from the shivering isles)
Brânză (romanian)
Kaas (Afrikaans) Ushizi (isiZulu) 🇿🇦
Cheese.
No way! It’s called cheese in my language too. crazy.
Fromage
Fromage - French (with other informal words such as “fromton” or “claquos”)
Omelette du fromage.
The only French I know, thanks to Dexter’s Laboratory.
It’s also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That’s because it’s an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.
Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.
Damn it, Dee Dee!
Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)
J’ai voulu vérifier l’orthographe, et autant c’est bon, autant a priori c’est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d’après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l’utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y’a peut-être des puristes de l’argot qui m’y reprendraient.
Panir/paneer - Kurdish
Ost - Norwegian
“Too expensive.”
Queijo (pronounced ‘keijo’)
That is not how you pronounce Keijo. (I’m just teasing, as it’s a Finnish name and you’re just estimating a pronunciation. We should all learn to use the IPA I think.)
Kummeli Jackpot — Keijoa huijataan
We call it “juusto” pronounced yuuh-sto
Sajt. Funny enough sajt is my default test word eg.: is google working let me search for sajt
For the non-native: that ‘S’ is pronounced ‘sh’ and ‘j’ is pronounced ‘y’. It almost sounds like shite.

Keju!
Cheese.
It’s nice that you credit who asked the original question, but you could just cross post their original post
