  • From earlier زمی‎ (zami), from Middle Persian zmyk' (zamīg, “earth”), from Proto-Iranian *jáHs (compare Northern Kurdish zevî, Northern Luri زمی‎ (zemi), Avestan 𐬰𐬃‎ (zā̊)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰžʰáHs (compare Sanskrit क्ष (kṣa)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm (compare Russian земля́ (zemljá), Latvian zeme, Latin humus, Ancient Greek χθών (khthṓn)).

    apparently so, that's pretty cool.

    on the other hand, Persian and my language use a lot of Russian loan-words too

  • 'zameen' means the same thing in Persian actually. I know they're basically directly related languages, but for some reason it always surprises me how many cognates there are.

  • Germany should not have been allowed to exist after WW2
