its like cat but meow. meo -> meow!!! do you understand they made this word for cats and cats alone bc of the little noises they make

cicuska /t͡sit͡suʃkɒ/

poha - no IPA provided

It’s very cute! My parents were peace corps volunteers in the Philippines and, being very creative in pet names, called their cat “Poha”! Sadly, poor Poha was eaten by local children, so she deserves to be memorialized here lol

Hungarian has so many cat words. Cica. Cicus. Cicuska. Macska. Macsesz. Macseszka. Kandúr. Kanmacska. Perhaps more? And then if you add the prefix kis- you make it little. Truly blessed language.

personally i think every good language has at least 10 separate words for cat /joking

[words-for-cat-bracket]

Hey, I'm pretty sure the IPA version of cicuska (Hungarian) is t͡sit͡suʃkɒ

this is why tumblr is the best social media /joking
