Käse (Germany)

I wonder what it's called in Austria

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Depending on where in Austria:

Kas, Käs or Kaas

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago

Probably something like topfenschnarkel.

Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

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

Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Omelette du fromage.

The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.

[–] ImplyingImplications 19 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be "omelette de fromage"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese

These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

ngl it's about half and half whenever I make one. 🖐️🫣

Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.

[–] JohnnyCanuck 4 points 14 hours ago

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.

Sajt. Funny enough sajt is my default test word eg.: is google working let me search for sajt

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

For the non-native: that 'S' is pronounced 'sh' and 'j' is pronounced 'y'. It almost sounds like shite.
